I like it. I like it a whole lot. I like the campaign game. I like the skirmish game.
That's all I've got for you for now.
I would love to hear more about this -- so far, Barnes' take has really taken the excitement level down. I had considered it as a birthday present for my brother, but I don't know now.
I just googled "Imperial Assault meh" and got 4,450,000 hits. A quick glance at the first page of links, and it was all unenthusiastic reviews.

reactions to Dead of Winter among readers = largely lukewarm
reactions to Brimstone among reviewers = not so great
reactions to Imperial Assault = mostly bland
sometimes it ticks me off that all it takes is a couple Barnes comments to take the wind out of the excitement for (some) games they are going nuts about elsewhere.
I heard counter arguments about the three listed are all pretty good...
Brimstone i bailed on, DoW haven't played yet... IA, I will make work for me. It's fuckin' Star Wars.

There's just a glut of '____'crawler boardgames lately...and they don't seem to do anything better than what AHQ and the like did 20 years ago.

We're going to have to play AHQ some day. Never even played HeroQuest ...
