Thanks for the review, Chris. I don't think this is off topic
because--like
many on this list--I'll have to make a decision: spend money on Babylon
5
Wars, or just buy their figures and use Full Thrust. My biggest fear for
B5W
was that it would be the B5 version of SFB. It sounds like it isn't but
that
it has the potential to go that route. Looks like I'll wait for Jon
Tuffley's B5 rules instead.

Anyone else have a review? Anyone know anything about the lead figures?
I've
heard rumours about strange scale discrepancies between the fighters and
the
other ships. To be honest, the first thing I thought when I heard about
B5W
was "great, B5 figures for Full Thrust"...
