It all makes sense Primachs would primarily be concerned with moving huge planet or even sector wide formations. 
Have either of you guys have experience with Spearhead?

Spearhead is a great set of rules, and yet another that would make a great engine for a upscaled Epic campaign.
On another note- how are your Ironclads and Dreadnoughts going CC?

Hi CC,
I have played SH, MSH and even GWSH.
I prefer games below the operational strategic level, which is where the SH series are.
I really like 1 for 1 mini representation.
The SH series is fun, but it wasn't for me. The odd basing 1&1/4" is part of it and some of the scale/representation modelling wasn't to my taste.
However, that being said, I don't think there is a better game out there on the Operational Strategic level.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

First, I must confess I have not played it.
However, I've read the rules and as I am a VERY experienced rules collector I think my opinion has some merit. 
The game is based on GW's Warmaster, as you probably know. However, it has some really clever and simple twists to make it work in WWII. Personally I think it is best played at 1 gun/vehicle/infantry stand = 1 platoon as otherwise the warmaster's wound system IMO creates a peculiar atmosphere for the game.
The online support of the game is second to none as the designer frequents the BKC forum and answers questions promptly.
