Thanks for posting this. I've convinced a couple friends to buy the rules and am hoping to play in the next month or so, so I was very interested to see your first attempt and any more you have in the future!

I agree on the restic figures from Mantic. I've been going insane getting the mold lines off the human team and recarving inlaid detail lines.  o_o  I look forward to the day when I can just paint those figures instead of endlessly scraping at them with an Exacto blade.

Keep posting, I'll keep reading!   :)

I got a corporation battleset recently and the mouldlines came off easily, managed to get the whole lot assembled in a night. (which i have never done with any box of miniatures)

Is there anywhere i can find a demo rule set for this game? i've been seeing plenty about it on the forum and it looks great.

Some of their figs aren't too bad really. Some of the Dreadball MVPs had almost no mould lines. The robots are just really bad.

Fair enough, maybe it's something about that mold in particular?

Presuming that you talk about ViDe: FuCo and not mantic I can point you to the Download page:
http://www.adpublishing.de/html/downloads1.html  ;)

The QRS and dample pages are from the WW II rulebook, but the core design elements are the same.
The Future Combat Desgin notes (http://www.adpublishing.de/html/fuco_design_notes.html) give you a good idea what is SciFi specific! 8)
cheers and keep on gaming, Agis - http://www.adpublishing.de
