Seems alright! I've always been a lover of skirmish games.
Still unsure about the active/reactive pools, but i'd need to get a game to work that out. Seems that one player plays each turn while the other more or less watches. In R:AL it seems more practical because it almost sets up a series of drives, within a limited playing area with no (LoS blocking) terrain.
The rest of the system seems pretty good though, any chance we'll get more than an early dev't copy, or is clash now a thing of the past?
