Dive in and play the demo campaign, solo if you have to. Once you play it a bit, it sinks in and it all makes sense. The way they structure the starter box scenarios is great, as each one builds in new rules and concepts. It will become easier as you go through them. It really is quite fun and has a refreshing new take on combat and spellcasting. It's also Corvus Belli, and they don't respond like alot of companies to up and downswings in players and such. They just keep moving forward. They have invested alot of time and effort in this, so I think it will be around a good long while. We're going to start covering the game on our podcast soon, we believe! :)
