I am a long term war gamer and retired military. I really like these rules. Well balanced and fun to play. The graphics and charts are very well done. I and my war game group played Dirt Side 2 for a quite some time and this beats Dirt Side 2 on a number of levels. The game vehicle design engine is very good, and provides for a great balanced vehicle, gun, or infantry unit, but you need to almost build a spreadsheet to support the design engine, which I did, and now this is the only sci fi 1/285 rules I play. I was able to taylor design all the miniatures I have now.
