someone had made some experience about
this game?
I got the rulebook,and i read a couple of
time,but is quite difficult to find
players.
I got also some minis(aroud 40)I picked up
for 50 cents each last time circa 10 chp,10 cheeta
some stingray,and more...
the paradox is it's hard to find players.
I would like to know if someone had
playde and if is better than the first.

I have played it a total of three times now, twice in preperation for the Trial of Retribution, and then the actualy Trial.
The original strafing rules I think were better in AT1. The true shining of AT2 is in it's warship and large scale combat, which is VERY much imporved over that of battlespace.
As in the Compendium the quick AT2 rules just plain suck. I have never cared for 'standard' movement rules and have always used the more true to realy world physics 'advanced' movement rules.
Oh and btw...since I took first at my location for Trial of Retribution I should be getting a copy of the LE Leviathan mini, 1 of 120.

I have used the ground support rules once. It seemed to go OK. I also played a space game once. It was alright.

yes he did. looks like some people played anyway.
I used to love AT1 and BattleSpace was a game I really wanted to get into, but could find no players. AT2 looks very good, but same prob as BattleSpace, plus these days the little time I have for gaming gets saved for CBT.

He did, but the commando at my location went ahead and ran it, some poeple drove well over five hours to be there. He didn't feel right about turning use away on some politically correct whim.

Okay was just wondering...I understand why he cancelled but I don't agree with it.
Thanks for letting us know.

Well, if you are in fact in Italy, I can understand how you're having trouble finding players then. Being as how most are in the USA. Though I'm sure there's plenty a little north of you in Germany or the UK if you're willing to travel a bit.

I have used the ground support rules quite a bit and they are definatly an improvement. The abstract aerial combat rules seem flawed but they could work with some changes. Overall I'd say it is a traditional BT supplement, better but not perfect.
