Many many years ago I directed frequently 007 with my usual group of players,
and precisely last spring in a nostalgia's rush we played again a007 campaing, so i feel i can give you my opinion.
In terms of miniature use it's a game a bit contradictory, some suplements came with grilled maps,
standing cardboard toons and cars, but on the other side the rules are vague enoug to don't really
need a physical representation of the situation.
We must remember is a James Bond game where the action focuses more in spectacular situations
and fun than in real facts.
I dont think the 007 rules will work with miniatures, as a sample, I bought and painted some KKBB models
for the new gaming sessions and we never used them. Of course the game was a rpg plot, but even in
situations like the assault at a URSS embassy the 007 rule system works well with a simple sketch and
vague descriptions of the set. The hero points system is so powerful than the surrounding area can change
at any moment in any way.
I agree Zenwired, the game is great but their skill system is a bit old, it's great and I love it, but if you
aren't very skilled on their use can bea bit boring to handle and can slow the game rythm.
On their time Victory Games released other 007 games, maybe more easy to adapt for a miniature game

and generic system
