Having a rather large collection of Star Wars: X-Wing miniatures already I was a little hesitant about buying another SF game based on the same DNA (i.e. Wings of War). But since I really enjoyed the latest TV version I thought what the hell and picked up the starter set for Battlestar Galactica - Starship Battles from Ares Games.
Here are a few photos from our first game:
Whilst it shares some similarities to X-Wing BSG plays sufficiently differently to justify owning both in my opinion. The representation of inertia in particular is a great addition and allows the game to have a very different feel to X-Wing.
The models are also very well done with the detailing being incredibly good despite being difficult to even see using the naked eye (or perhaps I am just getting old!):
Now that is attention to detail, wow!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! What a great series that was.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It certainly was and the game brings that back!
DeleteReally great looking starships!
ReplyDeleteI must admit I have been impressed with the quality of the models
