Did that comment lacktaste? Are we straying away from the title of this thread?

Why, your all debating whether Battlefront has made a b••b of things and whether it will go t1t$ up?

I actually really like their rules and figures, just not the business model.  I had 54 players playing it the weekend before last. It's a good rule set if you ignore the cheese (über warriors of doom) and the odd scaling (apparently it's logarithmic). I still dislike having artillery on table, unless it's the Western Desert where guns were involved in combat, but if you want a fun evening company level scrap, that's easy to pick up and play, it's great.
I just hate the gamey competitors, in all senses of gamey!

Agreed, it is a good game, in a WWII context :) ;)

A very good way to introduce players to historical gaming. Converting them to more 'accurate' rule sets is up to us

Shame about the business model
