** The dragons. The dragons are incredibly powerful. Mimring, from the first set, has great stats and has a special ability that lets him attack from 8 spaces away in a line from any direction, and isn't affected by height due to having the flying ability. And he's considered the ''weakest'' of the dragons in the game by the community. In addition to each dragon having their own special ability, they all have a mechanical advantage due to being in the huge size category. It's telling that most homebrew games often use them as stage hazards rather than units the players can control.

* PeripheryDemographic: Despite being an introductory WarGame aimed at kids, it's also proved to quite popular with adult gamers even when it first came out due to being simple enough to not be bogged down by a lot of rulings but also having a surprising amount of complexity when it comes to designing maps and such.

* GameBreaker: The ''Creator/{{Marvel}}'' expansion characters. They are so far above every other character created for the game in stat spread that even the ''developers'' have referred to the set as its own spin-off game instead of being an expansion set. About the only one that can be played with the other sets without horribly warping the game in the controllers favor is the ''ComicBook/SilverSurfer'', and even then it's not recommended to have him accessible right away.
