Star Wars Miniatures Discussion((As this isn't really a 'video game' I thought Offline Activities a more appropriate place. If people disagree it can be moved...))I haven't seen anything here yet discussing Wizards Star Wars Miniatures game. I started collecting as soon as I found out about it (despite the boosters often being difficult to come by) and quite enjoy the game. A close friend and I picked up the Starship Battles game yesterday, which is also a lot of fun. The games also seem to progress a lot quicker than those of the original Miniatures. Admittedly my friend and I are social gamers, and we tend to hold lengthy discussions whilst playing which draws things out. Does anyone else collect or play? Got an amusing story? Unhappy with some miniatures, or any new ones you wish to see made? |

To be honest I have never heard of them. What is the point of the game? |

It's a pretty simple table top war-game. Like Warhammer in some ways, but based more on Dungeons and Dragons (which, incidently, has its own Miniatures game).
It is designed mostly to allow you to play small scale skirmishes. There are a number of factions from different eras of the Star Wars Universe: KotOR Era - Sith, Old Republic & Mando Clone War Era - Republic & Seperatists Civil War Era - Rebellion & Imperial NJO Era - New Republic & Yuuzhan Vong As well as a generic faction - called Fringe, which is made up of mercenaries, bounty hunters, creatures, and other more general background characters). With at least two players, each on can choose a faction and make a squad from the minis they have available. The Fringe minis can go on either side. You then use your squad to try and defeat the enemies. Mission guides have also been released to allow you to play scenarios based on events in the movies or EU. For example - the assault on the Endor generator. These make things more complex, as a side can have specific objectives rather than just trying to kill all of the other sides forces. Each player is able to make a squad up to a specific points cost from miniatures they have for a single faction. Any faction can take Fringe characters. Set lists can be found here, as well as pictures of the various miniatures: http://www.rebelscum.com/SWminis.asp |
