    Having hits on 5/6 die faces seems like a good idea at first, but I'm worry it would just be frustrating. If you roll well in Commands and Colors, it feels like a fun bonus. When the odds are >80% per die I would likely feel deprived by bad luck. I'd love to see a C&C style game with cards instead of blocks that take 40 minutes to set up though.

    This is obviously a bit (very) late, but I can think of an unofficial way to close the skill gap if you're playing with new players. I haven't played, so I don't know exactly how balanced / unbalanced this would be, but if you're the better player, you could just shuffle your 30 cards, and remove X amount randomly (without looking). So, effectively playing 25 vs 30, or something along those lines. Obviously, you could remove more or less, depending on the skill gap. To add some randomness, you could also maybe just have both players remove 5 cards randomly. That way, you never know if you're missing a powerful card. Unsure if this would make it more or less fun.
