The video is great, but… The game story says “It is now 1949 and the Great War has never ended”, while the beginning of the movie shows a map of Eastern Europe with current borders. That’s common mistake for American games (board and computer) to take current maps, make it look old and think that’s enough. Both World Wars have changed the Europe dramatically, whole countries were re-shaped… It’s a shame designers don’t care.

"That’s common mistake for American games”
The funny thing is: this game is actually French (Take on You)

I found the video to be more about setting and theme and not enough about mechanics.
