I've played a couple of games of it and I can say I'm not too
overwhelmed
by it.	It seems you have to do an awful lot of damage to functionally
disable ships, and fighters seems very unbalanced vs ships.  I think
I'll
probably end up using it for small ship/fighter combat (the fighter
minis
are quite nice) as i'm not wild about thier resolution of ship to ship
combat.

Give them a call on 800-435-9930, give them your credit card no. and hey
presto you can go to the ball, oops wrong story.  Seriously, I ordered
directly from CE since my local stores are (an understatement) a bit
bad.
Miniature gaming won't work in NY they tell me, apparently no one has
the
space, except for GW stuff which they are more than happy to sell me !

Good hunting
