It looks promising. Majorly disappointed that it's still a card'n'token game more than a minis game, oh well.

It seems that some ships are at right scale... I'm not sure with the pictures.

Victoria class STD: 900 m.
Nebulon-B : 300 m.
CR90: - 150 m.

It's a FFG game. What were you expecting? BFG?

Does anyone know if FFG is going to put out the minis to support a proper fleet? The article doesn't seem to point in that direction at least going by the pictures. Is BFG able to support cross-universe battles? I'd love to do Republic vs Yuuzhan Vong (Tyranid counts as) battles.

If their fighter scale game is anything to go by I'd say we're getting the entire Imperial/Rebel fleet and the proverbial kitchen sink. Will be interesting to see how they deal with the elephant in the room; the Deathstar.

Concerning the game, come on! If it's good we'll play it, if not we'll have another source of models for our other games. What can possibly go wrong? Except for it being horribly expensive of course, but we're all grizzled veterans to such hardships, no?
