After a couple late! night skirmishes, I have to say this is a lot of fun. Thanks OP for the recommendation!

You're welcome. I'm a big fan of all things 40k (don't actively play the TT anymore though) and really enjoy this one, too. There are a few balance issues in MP (but then there always are some in RTS) but I agree, the skirmish battles are a lot of fun!

The Eldar have been released today and the new ships look absolutely fantastic

Dont think of it as being vastly outnumbered ... but just having a large target selection.

The only thing more accurate than incoming fire, is incoming friendly fire

I already played the campaign yesterday night for a couple of turns. Great 40k atmosphere, good gameplay, very much enjoying it so far.

BTW Germany's biggest gaming mag "Gamestar" reviewed BFG:A and gave it 83%, "the best 40k game since Dawn of War 2".

Hehe... I don't think BFG:A's gameplay lends itself to a decent AAR.


I have other plans regarding an AAR though.

So, seeing this on sale at Steam - how is it? Worth picking up?

A little late, I know, but thought I'd follow up. It's a fun game, but not one I put a lot of time into in one sitting. I like the gameplay a lot, but the mission types get repetitive and I really wish the maps were far bigger.
It's well voiced and well done for what it is, but I'd say it's more of a $15-20 game, at $10 a no brainer.

I picked it up myself and it's pretty fun. Have played a few multiplayer games as well and it's very well done.

Think the old "Star Trek Starfleet Command" games but in a Warhammer 40k Universe.

Vienna, 2nd rock left.
Going to give this a try. Alongside Sanctus Reach and Deathwing there's now an interesting few recent games that all look at separate aspects of WH40K... I like that, cool to have different game types out of the same rich universe.
