I get it. Adding a Battleground was supposed to be something new and different for the Nf/GM Nf rotater, but it was a very stupid idea. Mars is the most difficult one of the three Battleground options they had to choose from, and it sucks -blam!- because of the first and final encounters. It's just hateful, takes too long, and is such a chore. Skill issues aside (yea, I know there are ppl who will say it--your opinion doesn't matter anyhow), I hate the Mars Battleground and it's much harder than the rest of the Nfs/GM Nfs. It's the truth.
