Big battle themed Star Wars fleet game, I'm sure most of you would have seen something about this while browsing the web, it's all over the place currently. Fitting in with the fortune i've spent on X-Wing I've ordered two box sets from Amazon. With pre-order price guarantee i'm getting 2 core sets for £92, where the RRP on a core set is currently £80, so got a bloody good deal there. Lots of goodies in the core, while it seems expensive you need to realise that the points costs of the ships you're actually buying 40-50% of an army with one ship at a time as such. Comparing it to something like Space Marines from GW (since it's an easy comparison most of you will understand), your bog standard tactical marine squad is going for £25 for 10 models that will make, at best, perhaps 250-300 points of a standard 2000 point army, so around 12-15% of an army. RRP of the first wave Victory class Star Destroyer is £30, a basic V2 class SD is 85 points with 0 officers or addons to the ships load outs, or roughly 45% of the points of a standard 200 points fleet. While it's a lot for one 6 inch model (and that model is pre-painted, so no extra time/cost there) it's a lot cheaper to get a full fleet on the table.
Wave 1 is coming end of the summer, July/August time ish in the states and I'll be getting most of it, able to put on anywhere from 2-4 player games same as I can with X-Wing or Star Trek. Adding a big ship to the rebels and a medium SD for the Imps, plus additional specialized fighter squadrons such as A Wings, Tie Interceptors etc.
