Observations

Command is not broken. But for now it's got some pretty big loops to hole. I think David put it best in a conversation with Jackson and me. It's a great system for a bar-brawl. Because it's like that. It's you, your friends, and the guy you gotta hit. They stand behind you, yelling, "Yeah! You can do it!" and slap you on the back. When they've done enough Red Dice Dealing you rush up and throw a punch, utilizing all of their buffering to hit harder than you should be able to.

That being said, i don't want to see it taken out. Or Tactical Constraints. I want them both to be checked so they are comparable to Charging or Bracing.

Also, I gotta say this is one of the most fun game-mechanic ideas i've ever played. The "What are you going to do?" followed by "Okay, it went this well, which means…" and finally "Action!" It's solid awesome. You throw down a carpet bombing of dice and then use them like improvisable pieces to a puzzle with an image that you make up as you put it together. Super. Fun. Capital F.
