Privateer Press has released more information about that sci-fi game: here and here. While it's not what I hoped for (Warmahordes with less funny hats, as a starting point), it's still surprising how little discussion there has been about it. I was just wondering if it had flown under everyone's radar after that announcement last year?
Its a board game that has great appeal to anyone who likes the semi-co-op screw your neigbour style games like Mansions on Madness, Cut Throat Caverans and their like as well as horrer and UFO mythology (but don't take it seriously) fans. In general PPs' previous board games have had solid rulesets and been fun to play. I will be picking it up however don't expect many Warmachine & Hordes players to go wild over this. Not all board gamers are wargamers and vice versa. For those of us who fall into the midle of that particular ven-diagram it is interesting news. For everyone else it is the begining of a new IP for PP and it will be interesting to see if it will spawn a 4 to 5 figure a side skirmish game down the line.
