As I've said else-thread, I'm not personally a huge fan of wargames (board or miniature). I generally find them exceptionally fiddly and tedious. This is a bit frustrating for my SO since he's an avid fan of them (from his university years in Canada). Our hobbies overlap in many ways (we're both fans of card games: traditional or commercial; of traditional board games like Xianqi; of so-called "Euro" board games; and RPG players, though me to a far greater extent), but in this one key place, the overlap is so small that we hardly ever bond over something that's been a major part of his entertainment for decades.
Thus it is that we celebrate a lot when we find a wargame I can stomach, whether that be a "simple" board wargame like The Battle for Julu 207 B.C. or the subject of this thread.
I'd be interested in how many people know of this game. I got it (at stupid expense) for SO as a possible game we'd play together and ... thus far it has been amazing in that role. Is anybody else out there a fan of it? What hacks or alterations have you made to suit your play style?

(They don't take payment in RMB via AliPay or WeChat Wallet.) I have to go for hard copy at stupid prices.
