Attack Vector: Tactical (update)

Alright gang... here is an update after a couple of hours tonight on the web poking around. 

I read the PDF rules summary from the BGG files section, as well as all of the messages there in the forums (and also on the Saganami Island forums), I also poked around on some various websites and read all of the Geek Lists that this game and Saganami were featured in.

I have come to the conclusion that there are pretty much two different views people have on this game... the first view is "This is the Holy Grail of Tactical Space Games" or "This game is too complex for me to understand"...

In reading the summary rules PDF, I completely understood everything I read as well as how the AVID works, and I really see how the little "box minis" are perfect for the game setup with the tilt block... however, I am a big "mini" fan, so more than likely I'll use the little box minis, but still have some minis off to the side to represent the box minis better. 

I will mostly be playing this with a friend in my local gaming group who is into this type of game, and my 13 year old son... My son is very intelligent, and is a math wizard... he can multiply double and triple numbers in his head, how he does it, I have no clue, but he has shown amazing skills with numbers since he was a little boy, so I have no doubt he will be fine with complex rules and the advanced thinking that I think this game will require.

I am going to hunt around more, and hopefully find someone in my general area that plays this game and would be willing to have some sessions with me, but in any case I'm going to look around for a copy of the game to purchase (can anyone suggest a good online dealer that has these for a reasonable price - I haven't looked yet, or asked my regular supplier).

Thanks for all of your help everyone, I apprecitate the time you have taken to comment.
