Summary
Personally, I believe Richard III is an excellent introductory wargame perfect for introducing the hobby to younger gamers and those trying their first go round. There are enough design tweaks to make this stand out from the other Columbia Block games and we've had a really great time putting RIII through its paces. I do want to mention I'd like to have seen a mounted board at this price point and I believe the rulebook might need a fresh coat of paint but other than those minor critiques this is a great game.
