It's a really fun game, and has a nice narrative feel to it. Scenario generator gives it heaps of re-playability. Plenty of scope for customisation.
Minis are great and the production values top-notch. You don't need too many figures - focus on a single 'faction' and get a few supporting models if you don't want to over-invest.
Best rules set that I've got into in the last couple of years.
