To be honest, I don't think enough games have guys standing on the sideline being wet blankets. I don't doubt the game is an interesting one, though I think that the Space Brothers/American Indian analog is... um... off. Good explanation or not, having an alien (or distant human relative, displaced by precurser beings to fight the great enemy or whatever) that so closely fit an analog to a stereotypical earth culture, especially one fitted to a stereotyped setting sets my teeth on edge. It's like buying a new house and discovering that the garage door was painted shut. Someone took a shortcut and handed you an unfinished product.

PS: when I first read your message I thought Arthur C. Clark was the actual poster. Freaked me out for a moment.
