I'm not even much of a boardgamer, and I'm awfully tempted to get BattleLore.
I think one of the most interesting aspects of Battlelore is the combination of war game, board game, card game and RPG elements (though I think despite the seemingly high reference to RPGs, RPGs are the least represented). As such, it is not only a good introductory product but also a good crossover product from different types of gaming. It also manages to do this without being explicitly a collectible game (though I imagine that it will still hurt the pocket of many of its fans)
