The minis looks outstanding.
I've looked over the rules and run through the basic examples and so far it seems a bit dry.Really long ranges+ minor cover bonus+ slow movement= static gameplay.
I am missing something?
I did not pick up the armies books and am wondering if they make a big difference.
Is there anyone out there that really loves this game? What do they love about it?
I'm sure I am missing something.

Surprise! You bought a tabletop miniatures game!
Rackham makes the best minis...CONFRONTATION was actually a pretty cool game, but it had all the usual woes associated with miniatures games. AT-43 looked promising, but then I remembered why I lost interest in tabletop minis.

The figures are beautiful though, and I'm sure I can use them for Trinity Battleground, 5150 and a bunch of other scifi minis games I have sitting around, so I don't really regret my purchases.

MikeZ seems to be a pretty big fan of it.

So I don't see while Mr S. could start with this game. All you need to do is buy and play
As a miniature gamer I am used to pick my own sets and miniatures rather than buying a package. So I'd say: ditch the rules and find better ones. I'm not familiar with commercial sci-fi sets, so I can't recommend anything. Some friends of mine like Stargrunt, but you could also check

at least you won't be wasting money

I'm looking for different rules as well so that I can include my Aliens, Predators, 40K and other figures. Maybe I'll have to make some...
The figures are outstanding. I hope Rackham survives.

I also bought a bunch at the FFG sale.

Check out 5150 from Two Hour Wargames. It seems to have a lot of variety in aliens and forces, and allows you to homebrew your own. I have the game, but have yet to get around to reading it and getting it on the table. I have played some of their other games; All Things Zombie, Nuts!, Red Sand Blue Sky; and have been pleased with them.
As a bonus their games are all designed to play pretty well solo, which is cool if you are an antisocial hermit like myself. Plus, they have a solid Yahoo group where the game designer/publisher posts/answers questions multiple times a day usually.
The website is www.twohourwargames.com and they have some freebies to download so you can get a taste of the system before you buy.
