First, the presentation is more fun than the classic version. Pawns Version soldier, rider, gun like many children. As for the map, larger format, its appearance is very nice.
Then the gameplay is different from the classic version. There are more, of course, cards "objectives" and only a number of territories to conquer but the way of playing and the gradual arrival of reinforcements make the game more interesting. In the classic version, woe to him who does not quickly control a continent. In this new version, the game is more balanced and the control of a continent does not necessarily win.
Finally, the map "ceasefire" is an interesting novelty that avoids parties that drag so Verdun or Stalingrad.
In short, this game is a pleasant surprise.
