Well, I got the demo DVD, yes thats right DVD and played a small sample of this game and it puts Stars Wars: Rebellion to shame.

This is going to be one heck of a game to play. :)

Sweet be interesting to get an Objective opinion on this game.

I can kill Victory class and another class DD w/ a whole boat load of Y-wings and X-wings and win. (in the demo)

ftrs being cheaper than ships are more effective. (just an observation w/ the game).

When I do get the real game I will give my opinions on the playability of the game and some screenies if able to make them w/ the full blown game.

that is all for now. ;D

This is basically Star Wars Rebellion (http://www.lucasarts.com/products/rebellion/overview.htm) redone.. and redone pretty well.  I'm playing hell keeping the Empire in check, but just shattered 2 Star Destroyers and 23 Frigates over Endor.  The turn before I destroyed 5 units of Storm Troopers on the surface.

I am playing the Rebels and just consolidated the western map.  I am two systems from taking Kuat.

Rebel Infiltrators are some basadd units.  Combined with a few speeders and heavy tanks, lookout.

My favorite is still the Airstrike.. ;D

Which map did you start?  I chose the Empire at War Map (25 planets), but I saw one with 40.

I just finished.  Caught the Emperor and Vader at a shipyard (draws hand across throat).  No more Empire.
