Hmm. Dunno about either of those statements, but I haven't played any
GW miniatures games apart from Epic and Necromunda, with a brief touch
of WH40K. Overall, though, I think the rules for GW's war games --
Battle for Armageddon, Horus Heresy, and Doom of the Eldar -- are the
best rules I've seen out of them. It's such a pity they decided to be a
miniatures company instead of a gaming company....

The thing that throws most people off Space Fleet, from what I've seen,
is the fact that your chance to hit is based off where the dice land in
a box top. Apart from that, I think it's a pretty solid set of rules.
I certainly haven't seen the 'gaping holes' that someone else described.
(And if you're curious, drop by
http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~at2u/sfleet.html to look at the rules. <plug,
