Reasons you can give to friends you're trying to get into BFG:
-Relatively simple to pick up an play with basic rules - draw the comparison to a board game if they have no experience with miniatures games
-If they like space opera settings, point out it does space opera style capital ship combat quick and easy.
-for naval wargame enthusiasts, point out how each faction and the rules try to capture different eras of naval warfare (Imperium = Age of Sail, Chaos = carrier battlegroups, etc.)
-BFG is actually a great way to learn the metric system (well, at least learn how to estimate in centimetres).
