My son has mentioned an interest in this game, and it looks like it might be a good alternative to Warhammer 40k. I have decided that I want to make a purchase of some items for him and I to try out. His birthday is coming up in a few weeks, so I need to hurry and make a decision. I have been mostly playing board games with my gaming group lately, but do miss the days of 40k. I'm more than happy to purchase this game for him and play it with him.
However, in looking on "The War Store" I am not quite sure what to get. I see the AT-43 Initiation Set Operation Damocles which states it is a full game for 2 players and includes a 120 page rule book, than it also shows a "rule book" for another $20. Is this rulebook the same book, just a hardcover version, or is this a more advanced rule set? Is this needed to start off? (We have both played Warhammer and 40k in the past, so advanced rules are not an issue if they make the game more enjoyable).
The main box says it includes an Army called the White Stars and an army called the Therian (aliens?), then the add-ons and supplements have armies called AT-43 Red Blok, AT-43 Therians and AT-43 U.N.A.
It looks as though the UNA is the White Stars, so here is what I was thinking of getting:
1) Main boxed set
2) Rulebook (if it is needed to enhance the game)
3) Extra squad of White Star guys
4) Extra squad of Therian guys
Any suggestions, thoughts, etc., also, are there any recommendations on which extra squads to get?
