I will play it today evening, hope I can upload an AAR here :)
Can not wait to read your report and first impressions, Daniel.
If you have any experience with X-Wing miniatures, please try to compare both systems as far as rules, playabilty, fun are concerned.
You guys (Sven and Daniel) are teasing me...well, I am going to start with the BG series on Showmax and then we will see...:slysmile:
Sorry, but no experience with X-Wing. It is better for my wallet to keep out from some games despite the fact you need only Core Set... :money:
That is exactly what I said about Tripods Daniel, and now I'm £100 or more in and it has not even come out yet.
I wish I had Tim's strength of character.
NO X WING.
Rob.
I bet you have a load of secret SoG you are owning up to :D
Well he did just say he had 200 ships.
Now I'm not so sure about Tim's fortitude after all, although he did not mention the Sai*s word.
I may have to blag one of those Frog Pills back off him to keep me away from the X marks the spot.
Rob.
Wow! :eek: :medal:

Cool! :eek:
It has always been easy for me to resist X-Wing because it is functionally a land based game not a flying game.
Somebody must be the first (who says: This is not the right way, friends...)! :)
Steve, you are true early bird 5:42 GMT! :eek:
Not such an early bird Daniel. I’m in Copenhagen so it was 6.42 :)

Battlestar Galactica - Starship Battles: in Stores Soon!
Starter Sets to arrive at our warehouse early next week, in stores in December
In BATTLESTAR GALACTICA — STARSHIP BATTLES, players take control of Colonial and Cylon spaceships and face each other in furious dogfights and daring missions.
The innovative game system features easy to learn rules, a unique set of maneuver cards for each spaceship, and two exclusive devices — the control panel and the rotating miniature base. You will be able to relive on your tabletop the exciting combat sequences from the TV series, just a few minutes after opening the box!
This Starter Set includes four beautiful ready–to–play miniatures: two Colonial Vipers Mk. II (including Apollo’s Viper and his pilot card) and two Cylon Raiders, along with their special control panels, playing bases and maneuver decks. Also included are combat rulers, spaceship cards, pilot cards, talent and flaw cards, asteroid and planetoid templates, and everything else you need to play.
Stores in UK and Europe?
Enjoyment (£49.30), Wayland Games (£46.39) have it on pre-order, and Chaos Cards (£43.95) have got it on their website. Wayland’s site has a timer which is currently showing 8 days 15 hours to release, putting the date at 30 November.
:lol: asteroids are free then Steve.Quote:
Enjoyment (£49.30)
I have plenty of asteroids from my Full Thrust days (they used to be a large bath sponge before I got at 'em!) and have two 6 x 4 space mats from Deep Cut Studios (bought for X-wing).
Just need the Ares starter box(es).....................
Teasing is on...Although rather a X/W player I have just started watching the BG series (with the prequel mini series) and must say...it's damn gooood...:)
Ah the Dark side of BSG will call you Andy
:eek::please::surrender:
So say we all!
It looks to be a good money maker for the shop Keith, but I'm not buying into it.
I'm still on the fence about it, Keith - I could see myself buying one to support you and the AA store, but I am by no means a 'completionsist' - I don't have every Ares Wings or Sails miniature, nor do I feel a need to have them. I am also not as fond of that show as I am of Star Wars, and I already have a couple dozen SW X-W miniatures that I play with every so often. It's a conundrum...:p Perhaps I should watch the new series and give it another chance.
Were you to carry it, would you consider a third forum to parallel the Wings and Sails forums? I wonder how many of the 'active' members here are BSG fans - I haven't really paid close attention to the number of folks chiming in on the various BSG-associated threads...
Good luck as you come to a decision on this - wiser minds than mine can certainly help you along that path!;)
Always the best,
Matt
I can order you in one if you like. I'll probably pick one up for my self regardless of what I decide for the store, so getting a extra or two is no big deal. It would set you back $45 plus the shipping.
I think it will be for mainstream stores, but I've got very little presence outside of the forum members.
No, I'd not do another forum for it. I can barley manage the two, even with all the help I get from some of the members. That and I don't know how much expansion Ares is going to do on that game line. I'm not sure there will be enough material to warrant a forum.
I do not think that there will be many expansions for Battlestar Galactica. Ares had the Heavy Cylon Fighters and Colonial Raptors models at Essen, so presumably that will be the first. There are also Viper Mk VII's, the Stealth Viper and Adama's early Viper, which they could do. They have also mentioned an 'Original Series Battlestar Galactica' expansion.
I recommend for the game setup a minimum of one peg. That gives you more room for an altitude change.
The ships fit easier on the pegs, too.
...and here you can see how I fixed the stickers on the ship‘s bases.
Like the movement rules where you can plan one or two cards, stand still or do a reverse.
There are steep maneuvers, etc.
Easy to adjust the speed on the flight panel.
At all you have to execute the maneuvers careful. Bases are small and the flight cards tricky.
After firing, Lee Adama missed the Cylon and catches himself a 5+. So he has to draw another damage token, a 6+ (the second + is ignored).
2/3 of the colonial viper are wrecked. :erk:
