I got a sweet gift certificate from my mom for my birthday. I pre-ordered last night and it's only costing me about $25. That's right, I'm getting AT-43 for less than the cost of 2 Heroscape flagbearers.
joah, just in case you missed it, the production figs were posted over on the Cool Figures from other Games thread. They look much closer to the original concept art. That's right, they look awesome. I know a previously designated nay-sayer who can go blow it out his ass for being a wet blanket! 
I've always been crazy, but it's kept me from going insane.

No, I know how good they look. I played a demo of the game last week. I took a few crappy pictures, and was getting ready to post a report last week but got sidelined. I was going to bring some HS figures to do a side by side comparison but was running late, and forgot. They're really close, but a little off. Just a hair though. I had a long talk with Rackham U.S.A's (based here, in Madison) main guy too. It's a cool, quick, simple game. That is VERY terrain intensive. Meaning, if you don't have much terrain, or cover, you won't be playing too long.  I played, and won, with the White Stars.   The guy I was playing was not as familiar with the rules, as he should have been. He was a longtime Confrontation player, who was eliminated from the Co.Fro. tourney that was going on. He jumped over and went through a game with me.  I went after his big gun first, and took him out pretty quick.  These guys were next. The game has got a pretty cool way of building in complexity. Starts out with the most simple of engagement rules, and will build and build with future expansions. I took this picture because I loved the terrain piece that was covering the board. It would look great with HS. Like I said, pretty cool game. But,(you knew there was a but) I won't be able to afford this game I think. Unless, I choose a faction, and just stick with that one faction. As I mentiond, I spoke to the Rackham guy, and they are gonna be pushing this game HARD. There are like ten sets planned in '07 BEFORE GC. When they'll probably introduce the 4th(of eight planned) factions. I don't know, as I type this I'm re-thinking the initiation set pre-sale.

Wow that could indeed get costly. However, I never envisioned it as a "must have everything" as I do Heroscape. I'll pick and choose.

It came! :banana:
OMG! FFG and DoW talk about "big box games". This game has the biggest freakin' box I've ever seen! It's fracking huge! I haven't had time to look over the rules, but man these minis are suh-weet!

Right on Ninth. I added this to my purchase list for 2007 along with Battlefield Evolutions. The two are going to make it to my game table methinks. I am interested in hearing rules and game system reviews from you guys on this...

It's a VERY big box. 85% of which appears to contain fresh air. Without compromising the figure packaging at all, I reckon they could have made the box just one-third the size that it actually is. Crazy French people.
I'm more interested in Battlefield Evolution, by Mongoose (largely becuase it has modern troops, INCLUDING Brits). Though I'm not convinced that I'll be playing any 28mm skirmish game other than HS for quite a long while. Q - "Are you one of those people who does The Times crossword puzzle in 10 minutes?" A - "I have NEVER taken 10 minutes!"
