Win A Copy Of Battlestar Galactica: Starship Battles

This game has you playing as the Vipers and Raiders from the updated version of the show that hit TV screens a few years ago. You will be embracing the array of different mechanics that made space combat in the show so awesome with lots of spinning around and blasting foes in zero gravity.

I wonder does the movement of Vipers resemble the one in the series http://www.aresgames.eu/21681 didnt quite explain it…But the video does! Great!

Sounds bit more nuanced than x-wing. I love x-wing so I’ll have to check it out.

Hmm.. for the Let’s play .. well .. It would be Scar vs. Starbuck lol (btw guys, pick up the Starbuck promo as well while your there ;D )
Ships look great, looking forward to seeing a Let’s Play.. and I can’t wait to get this game on my table.

Nice miniatures.

Watched the first series in the olden days and have fond memories… less said about the series that was set on earth with a bunch of scouts the better…

Reboot series started well, but far to religious and dragged out too long… fast forward through the last 2 series mostly

Looks like this game is going to be more about tactics than lists with ship/pilot combos.
Totally up for seeing more of this.

Looks great, hopefully they will have tournament support and are able to keep retailers stocked. My only issue with Wings of Glory line is that there are certain models that are forever unavailable.

Not what I was expecting at all! Plenty of options for a full on immersive game. Great stuff!

Models and components look great. Love the card shapes that nod to the series.

Looks great, prefer the original ships. Used to have the Cylon Raiders ship with the mini cylon pilot and the wings opened up to fire missiles from them. Kids today don’t know what they miss’t

That’s pretty interesting, being able to fly facing a different direction. Cool looking game.

I like the idea of the similar Star wars and star trek games, but always feel like I got to them too late!! Too much to collect and catch up. This though, hopefully not a huge range of models, so I won’t feel like I’m missing anything and just the pure adrenalin rush of my childhood coming to life!! Looks great!!!
