Quotes (from this video)
- This game simulates the first week of the V1 rocket attacks on London by the Germans during World War II.
- This game tells a good story.
- I don't think you buy this game for its decision space. I think you buy this game to enjoy the simulation and enjoy the story that it tells of your campaign.
- Sometimes you don't want a game that's going to challenge you with tons of hard decisions. You just want a game that's going to tell a very simple story, and it's going to be fun and engaging to play.
