I've cut my teeth on miniatures with Imperial Assault, please don't shoot me i understand this isn't 'real' miniatures.. but it s as close as I've gotten! I've watched people at my LGS play Guildball and Warhammer and thought those mini games look cool, I like the idea of the open field concept over the grid. But I am curious, will this game be popular? From people who actually know something about the other big miniature games out there, do you think this game will take off or is this going to be like another IA where its popular in a smaller pocket as many people are lost to X-Wing?
In this case FFG isn't cannibalizing itself, but from what you have seen so far will it be strong enough to draw players away from other mini games?
