I don't care for the token system. I have to admit I never played it and can only go by my read of it, but my impression is by the time you accumulate enough tokens to do your Cool Thing the combat is over or almost over it's a finishing move when you're about to win anyway. If you have a lesser Somewhat Interesting Thing instead for less tokens might as well do that so at least you did something besides "I attack" that combat.

It was published before 4E existed. Even though I didn't like 4E, for the similar concept as Iron Heroes 4E did it better. If you enjoy Iron Heroes have fun. You don't need my permission or approval.
