Nice! Thanks for the review. I have the original heavy gear rules box and a couple of gears ( that I think are now out of scale), and have been sniffing around HG again. I may consider picking this up.

The reasoning behind the 3 on 3 setup is that Hunters/Jaegers are easy to build into a bunch of different Combat Groups by adding a two-pack. Add another pack of Hunters or Jaegers to make a base GP, or add Jaguars or Black Mambas for a more elite squad. A lot of people felt that had too many Hunters/Jaegers and wanted to be able to focus on other stuff.

Working on someting you'll either love or hate. Hopefully to be revealed by November.
Play the games that make you happy.
Thanks for the review. I am still new to heavy gear, but not new to wargames. I opted to start with the full-color books, so I could learn more about the game before choosing an army. My second choice would have been one of the starter armies. However, I can see the appeal of the two player set. It is inexpensive for a starter set and lets people give the rules a try without sinking lots of cash into the game.
