I've seen this game (5150) mentioned all over the place and I was wondering what people who have actually played it think of it.

What I have been able to find looks interesting but I haven't seen any detailed reviews.

I just bought the rules two weeks ago. Haven't tried them yet but am looking forward!

I think the lesson here is the best way to enjoy GW's games is to not use any of their rules.--Crimson Devil

I've played a couple of games now and I must admit I am not blown away. The main problem I am having is that they require lots of looking up of tables to determine outcomes, and those tables vary from race to race. The rulebook is fairly ameteurish in layout as while, which makes finding things difficult.

Maybe if I took the time to became more familiar with it it would become more fun to play, but right now I'm not overly enthusiastic.

I have read online lots of good stuff about it though, so maybe I'm missing something.

There is a review here: http://www.angelfire.com/az3/twohourwargames/5150/WJReview5150.pdf

Cheers
