Do it! Make the dex wargame you hoped this would be!
Yes, you can play with 4 out of the box in either a free for all or a team game. It's not a dexterity game, for sure, but it plays a little like a miniatures wargame and an LCG all wrapped into one. There is some army building elements and tactical bits from wargaming, and some army building elements and ability interactions between units that feels very LCG to me.
Hopefully playing it won't be as much a disappointment as finding out it wasn't a dex game.
PS I'm pleased as punch that Denis has a set so we can test out some different, expanded army builds!
