B5Wars review..

I got my copy of the game!
Here goes:

Having played the playtest rules, i expected a monolithic turn 
interface- This is far from the case! They streamlined the HELL out 
of it and made the whole attack/defense interface Much, Much easier. 
This game is NOT Star Fleet Battles. It has that level of damage 
detail to the ships without all that extraneous impulse 
chart/drone/Positron flywheel/Scatter pack shuttle/Anti-drone defense 
 crap. I think game play is about twice as fast as the playtest 
version and the Vorchans are no longer Space Winnebagos. They are 
more like Space Honda Sport Coupes now.. I won't review the counters 
as i did them. Hardly sporting, you know. If anyone has seen them and 
wants to critique, feel free!

Things on wish list: Lack of shuttle templates. They asked for 
Shuttle counters- I painted them shuttle counters. They printed 
shuttle counters. No shuttle rules. (hmph) 

Knowing what i know about upcoming product (I am involved with the 
upcoming Narn/ Centauri war supplement) I think that anyone 
interested in B5 will find it a pretty good game. i do not yet have 
any figures (i have a pre-release game copy) so i cannot comment on 
their quality. <rubbing of hands together> Now to plan that assault 
on Ragesh 3....
