Well without a demo, a hefty price tag, his own background with no miniatures of his own to back it up or help promote it, I really think he's going to have a hard time selling this.

I seriously think a free sampler would be perfect.

I know you love the game and you have played it a few times, but that is one person's opinion and that person is a friend who sees him regularly. I'm sure that doesn't affect your judgement, but it would be nice to have an 'outside' judgement.

Perhaps send a copy to 'The Ancible' magazine to be reviewed (perhaps even the SSFFW) and put a sampler online. Getting a sculptor is a different matter and expensive. I understand it is a home business and getting sculpts done is expensive business. But I don't think it's necessary. You juyst have to be smart with how to sell rules.

i have no hand in the development of this rule set. you can contact darryl on the site if you want a free sample. maybe he can be persuaded.

Hey

I read the review in this months miniature wargames.

It DOES sound good. I have to admit.

I might just buy it soon. Might get me back into Sci Fi gaming.  :)

to everyone who was interested. darryl has released a free version of the game which is a VERY VERY large section of the main rules.

check it out.
