Any good? How are the models? If the game is naff could they be used in BFG?

Yea we tried it, got through the first 4 scenarios.

Ruleset is the trashiest trash that ever trashed, printed components are mostly trash with zero proofreading, can't even keep the font consistent between cards etc. Sculpts are okayish for PVC, some heat bending required, but overall pretty darn small for BFG or modern games, could mix well with ancient metal Full Thrust and Brigade Models. The fighters are quite decent to use for squadrons tbh and you get a lot of them. There are fewer different sculpts than you might expect, we got some "additional factions" box but it was just the same sculpts as the base box just cast in a different colour, for some insane reason.

Overall I rate this as a complete zero effort cash grab licensed game, avoid unless you're desperate for modern looking ships and don't have a printer.

Didn't play it, but know people who did, the main complaint is that the rules are nonsensical and require a lot of FAQ and error fixing.

A friend got it, read it, played a trial game of it, and sold it off before he ever brought it to game night. Said the rules were garbage, and the ship models weren't worth the cost of the rest of it. They're apparently all the same size, the carriers look tiny and the fighters look huge, and they have these token sized solid integral bases that make them unfit for use in other games.

At least HW3 looks like it might be good still.
