I can attest to the ease of learning the system. My son and I played a demo game at Historicon and we were fully self sufficient within 20 minutesOh Jon! Jon truly loves these promotion questions so I hope he sees this and gives a well detailed sales pitch. Personally, I have not played JRIII or VB. I can tell you what I like about Battlelines though. It is brigade level based game. It is an easy game system to learn (I typically have a demo game with new players up and running in 10 minutes and playing on their own within 20 minutes) It gives a true feeling of the periods covered (American War for Independence, War of 1812, Texas War for Independence, Mexican American War and/of course the American Civil War) which is more than the other game systems - you don't have to buy additional sets of rules to play these periods as you would with the other rule sets if they even have rules sets for these other time periods. The Command and Morale system is easy and gives a true feeling of the ebb and flow of the linear combat of the covered time periods. Having demo'ed the game system at numerous conventions I would say that 99% of the people that played in the demos really enjoyed the game. Since you own MP I now you know of our support for our games, so this goes without saying, though I will admit that we have been so busy with MP lately that our additional material for Battlelines has been suffering. But this, I hope be remedied after we finish up all of the in-depth revisions being done to MP. :)
