One of the best spaceship games to come out since Full Thrust.

This is a fantastic game. Best written I've seen in a while. Concise and clear rules, no clutter, and easy to reference. The explanations and diagrams are well presented. For this alone, you should buy it and know that we live in a world where things like this are things we deserve.

Then, there's the game. It plays really well; far more interesting than a regular "in cover / out of cover / shoot" game. There's a lot of different things to be done, and the game has an excellent balance of fleet design choice, player "admiralship", and luck.

I introduced it our gaming group and we all went mad. Everyone is playing this now.

A solid, concise set of rules for quick play space battles. I haven't played Battlefleet Gothic, but the sample backgrounds seem tailored for using you Warhammer 40,000 universe ships. Each fleet has it's own set of special abilities rerolled every turn as done in SAGA, What a Tanker, or WarCry.
