I'm from St. Louis, MO.  There are quite a few people with the game here.

I'm also from St. Louis area.  

We have an ACTA-SF yahoo group (no reason you can't like Trek and Wars) and many of us plan to play once the game is available.  There was a demo game run by a guy in our yahoo group on Tuesday at the Fantasy Shop in St. Charles.

[Is there a release date yet?]

The great thing about Miniature Market is you can ask them to hold your order and just drive by and pick it up.  Instant gratification!

Miniature Market is in the St. Louis Metro area.  But seriously folks, free shippping for orders over a $100.00 I believe, and how can you not go over $100 on this?  For those of you that went to GENCON and C-VI thanks for the reports (said with much jelousy).  There is a core group here that is anticipating giving this a try.  It'll give us a break from Trek (A Call to Arms-Star Fleet).

[Cost to play this game.]

Howdy folks, first post on the board here!

This game does something that most CMG's doesn't, it combines great pre-painted minis, with a really decent set of rules.  I most cases you get great minis and lousy rules, or good rules and lousy mini's.  Sometimes you get lousy minis and lousy rules (then you have truly wasted your money).

As a guy who isn't very artistically inclined, I like mini games that have pre-painted playing pieces.  Saves time, and if you are considering cost, well done pre-paints is a cost multiplier.  I like the idea of buying a couple of basic sets to get started, very cost effective and it's always helpful to have extra play aids.

This is my first FFG game and I'm really looking into it.  I usually stick to historicals, but lately have been delving heavily into scifi, specifically Trek, BSG, and now this.  I hope cost doesn't put people off, give it a try.

Also, demo game are the way to get people interested and to find and expand your group.  Doesn't have to be at a LGS, try other venues, perhaps a library meeting room, or a book store?
