I didn't read the rule book, but that last picture on the MechWorld site--of the full battle--looked AWESOME.
Couple issues with this idea, though:
-those capital ships, at 1:4105 scale, are big and expensive. I guess it's not coincidence that that is the same scale as the Moebius Models kits for the Galactica and Pegasus. Those models are about $45 and $65 apiece, respectively.
-as far as I know, no one does styrene kits of the Cylon basestars. There are resin kits available in that scale, but they are pretty expensive and not something you can just pick up at a hobby store (unlike the Galactica and Pegasus kits).
-it would be impossible to have Vipers, Raiders, and Raptors in a matching scale--they'd be way too small. The smallest scale versions of those ships I've seen is the stuff that Ironwind Metals does, and they aren't licensed, so you can pretty much just buy those things at cons (like Historicon). From the pics on the MechWorld site, I think that's what they were using.
In short--great idea, but very expensive and hard to get all the right pieces for the game. Unless I'm missing something.
