The main problem I had with it was that the rules (both general and the very specific functions of the few weapons provided) were presented as overly important when most of the strategy comes from external factors. The general way the characters "play" is much closer to how you'd act in the limited world of an MMORPG than in real life, making it pretty much a vidja with real dead and perfect physics. An example so you see what I mean: Around episode 70 a team of four wants to sneak attack a group of 2. They decided to make an all out raid to overpower the enemy instead of dividing the group, but its been a few hundred years since armies realized that you need part of your force standing back as back up to compensate the situation the front line faces and as potential fall back plan. Instead of making real team strategies the focus is in over explaining split second decisions like moving right or left. The big game changing strategies are pretty much ass pulls exploiting new information that's present right before it's needed.
The art itself doesn't help a lot. It's serviceable (and fan serviceable) but it's really good enough to have such a big number of characters with supposedly different body types. The arms are particularly weird looking and they compose most of the page space once you take out backgrounds. Very detailed panties, though, I guess.
Overall the story could had been Kaiji meets the Golf War but it's just not too good.
