Anyone playing the beta? This thing is really good! I'm excited for the full release at the end of the month.

didn't know it existed yet. Linky?

You can get the Beta via steam. Here is the website for the game: http://www.battlefleetgothic-armada.com/

Anybody playing? I like it a lot but it's tough to get the hang of! 'Normal' difficulty is tough!

How different is it from the original BFG John?

I bought this and painted some ships but never played!

It is actually surprisingly true to the game. Obviously the implementation of everything is slightly different but I like it. Ships have all been translated very well as well as maneuvers like 'burn retros', 'reload', etc. I will warn you though the learning curve is steep!

I do want to pick this one up, eventually. It'll probably be awhile. I am only willing to commit a little time to video games, and right now that's all going to Mordheim. Which is ok, but not all I'd hope for.

I would probably recommend waiting anyway - they are yet to release two of the playable races (marines + surprise faction) and there are still a fair few bugs to be ironed out. Overall I like it a lot though.
