We've just purchased the starter box for mutant chronicles, and if I'm reading this correctly, the command card can only be played if the symbols on the soldier match. The game setup match that designates cards and units to be used, no demon units can use the flow of acid card command card. I'm sure I'm missing something here, little help would be appreciated.

Yes, it's a known issue in the Rulebook. The FAQ here : new.fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_content/mutantchronicles/MC_FAQ-1_0.pdf gives you the right army compo for your starter armies. Thankfully, there's no such error on the Command cards themselves, nor on the Unit cards...

You'll find advices to make even better forces out of your starter in this thread : new.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_foros_discusion.asp

Hope you'll enjoy the game !

Thank you very much for the help, actually we love the game so far and look forward to new additions.

One of the best things with this game is that it goes on by so fast. I would think a 10/10/10 game would take just around 1 hour to finish. And that's a pretty big game IMO. This game has Mutant Chronicles written all over. It reminds me so much of the old MC boardgames and even the old CCG Doomtrooper. It is very fast&furious and gets better and better by every game I play.

That sums it up quite well...

Glad to hear you enjoy the game, Squidicus !
