Five Parsecs First Impressions

I've been skimming through the Five Parsecs from Home rule book today, as it arrived yesterday in the post, and first impressions are really good. I haven't really got my head around the system yet but it seems pretty straightforward and I expect that, after a couple of games, it will flow along quite easily. The detailed bit is in the crew creation and progression mechanisms beyond the actual skirmish combat, which is the key to the narrative campaign focus of the game. The book itself is a handy not quite A5 size and is very well laid out, illustrated and organised, which makes the twenty five quid price tag easier to swallow (although I got mine for slightly less). I'm now on the hunt for 15mm figures to use for the characters and opposition, with GZG as the first option, supplemented by whatever else I can find!
