Well, only time will tell! Yes, there are probably a fair number of 
people who find anything more mentally taxing than rolling a D6 to be 
too much hassle, and those folks probably already avoid SGII because 
of that - they will probably steer clear of SG:AC for the same 
reason. On the other hand, every time a question is asked about 
favourite SF rulesets on TMP, then SGII is still usually one of those 
mentioned.

Frankly, I'm not out to capture the market; there are enough rulesets 
out there already that there are perfectly viable options at most 
levels of simplicity or complexity, so people can take their choice. 
What I want to do is produce a set that has the best playability and 
overall "feel" that I can manage, without any "dumbing down".

We're already selling lots of 15mm stuff to folks that are using 
other rules, which is fine by me - I just want to give them another 
option.

Well, the more positive feedback and constructive discussion that I 
get from this list, the more motivated I'll be to get something to a 
playtestable stage.....  ;-)
