STAR
WARS™ MINIATURES JUMPS TO LIGHT SPEED WITH NEW
STARSHIP BATTLES™ GAME
New game introduces vehicle
miniatures to the battlefront in a galaxy far, far away….
November 15,
2006 (Renton, Wash.) – Star Wars fans, prepare
for launch! Starship Battles, a new and exciting
Star Wars Miniatures game featuring 60 iconic vehicles
from the Star Wars saga, is preparing to jump to
hyperdrive with skirmish-style battles that allow players to
pit fleet against fleet in fast-paced, head-to-head action.
Star Wars Miniatures Starship Battles is the newest
offering from collectible miniatures leader Wizards
of the Coast. The game allows players to build their own
fleet to take into battle and features the best vehicles
from all eras of the Star Wars universe. For example,
a fleet might include Jedi starfighters, Rebel transports,
Star Destroyer capital ships or even Han Solo’s prize, the
Millennium Falcon!
Each Star Wars Miniatures Starship Battles
Starter Set includes all of the components necessary to
immediately engage in intergalactic dogfights. The starter
game includes two exclusive 100mm-scale miniatures: the
Super Star Destroyer Executor™ and the Mon Calamari
Star Defender Viscount™. Also included in the
starter are eight randomized, fully painted, plastic
miniatures, full-color stat cards, two-sided battle map, two
Fleet Commander cards, rulebook, damage and command
counters, and a d20.
“This is a highly anticipated game for gamers, movie fans
and collectors alike,” said Rachel Kirkman, Brand Manager
for Star Wars Miniatures. “Star Wars
Miniatures fans have been controlling the fate of squads for
years, but this new vehicles game finally allows players to
control the destiny of a fleet in space battles.”
Starship Battles can be used in skirmish-level and
mass-level combat scenarios and also can add a new dimension
to Star Wars roleplaying games.
