I played this system at Kublacon a few years ago.

mass - battle system, rank and flank, using 2-D cards instead of minis. Scratches that WFB itch with nothing to paint.
AN "army in your pocket" as they say.

I own the Vampire army, this one adds three more to the mix.

Any thoughts on how it plays?

I would watch a play-through video, because I think they've cleaned up the rules a bit since
I tried it.

I like that the damage boxes degrade by color on the cards. It's an easy way to reflect changing abilities,
like a dial on a Clix game.

units felt fairly flavorful and distinct.

we didn't get far in our demo, but the action cards added a fun twist.

My aspiring opponent got the Hawkshold men set, but moved to the coast almost immediately after it arrived from the
last KS.

I'm going to check out some videos too.

I watched their play-through video on the KS.It is pretty minimal. They need something of more substance -- people are asking. A proper game on a 4' x 6' board would give the viewers a better accurate feel of the experience.
