So is this game worth it at the sale price?

My main interest is Wilsons creek as I had an ancestor there with the State Guard, so its one of my favorite smaller civil war battles.
I realize it's essentially abandoned and lacks much of a tutorial. I'm familiar with the FoF tactical system and from the screenshots it looks like there's some similarity. Would that make it easier to pickup the gameplay mechanics?

Any response before the sale ends would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thank you for your reply. I picked it up and it does seem fairly intuitive and the manual is very impressive as well.

glad you enjoyed it, tbh i'm still of the opinion there's nothing like it or comes close out either or on the drawing boards, alpha / beta wise, so is a jewel to be enjoyed and savoured, as i can't see anything coming close any time soon
