| Star Wars Miniatures | The Star Wars Miniatures collection offers a great board game that doesn't require too much time or space to play. The miniatures are also exactly the right size for use with the Star Wars Roleplaying Game, which I would highly recommend. The old roleplaying system was made by West End Games, which I haven't tried.

 Great product December 20, 2008
I really hope they make more. These are very useful and have good details on them.
Avid role player seeks new game play August 29, 2008
I'm satisfied with my purchase. Though, I really wished I could have seen a demo of these before buying. I took a leap of faith in the WoTC products, and it paid off. They are really pretty well done. Nice card stock with plenty of different sizes and designs on them. The cards are boxes, load lifters, a TIE fighter, pits, stairs and walkways.
Prior to purchasing these tiles I laminated the large maps that come with the miniature games. I plan on using these tiles as add ons to the larger map. They can be used independantly, but using them together just adds more playing field. I also plan on getting some card stock and printing or drawing on them to expand my tile collection. If this product was a tad cheaper I would have bought two, or more!
Useful for any number of sci-fi games May 15, 2008

A good product for any number of sci fi games. My friends and I have been using for Warhammer 40k combat patrol games and I'll pick up a few more sets to allow for a full table of corridors.
The cardstock is high quality and take a beating, it's textured so as not to slide. For the price and ease of use nothing comes close.

After having purchased at least two of every Dungeon Tile product for the D&D game, I had high hopes for this offering. I was somewhat mixed on the overall feeling. It is the usually high graphics that WOTC has put into this line of products and will perform well under the SW mini rules and new fantasy game. But unlike the first dungeon tile set, which I immediately bought more of, this one feels incomplete. Maybe its just not as impressive due to the color scheme being lighter. The dungeon set has a deeper ink pallet, darker and more textured feel in visual effect. The lighter shade of this set makes it feel less 'solid'. Of coarse, the usual six sheets, double-sided, with some important stuff on one of two sides is a small problem in all the sets, making a large layout require two or more of the same set to be playable - but, it works fine as far as it goes and not everyone has a need for large areas. But, the scale of SW and its range weapons, etc, not to mention vehicles, creats a more sweeping scale of adventure. This problem isn't confined to SW - the D&D folks finally got some wilderness tiles and horses at set #6 (Ruins...). So, graphics good but with a lighter shade that distracts and a poorer selection of starting chrome tiles, which really aren't chrome if you need multiple doors, etc. forced me to 'three' this one. Will I buy a second? Perhaps, but, the next set will need more 'special' tiles (vehicles, doors, etc.). In defense of this, until LOTR, no movie had done the sweeping views of fantasy that the SW movies did - and the problem with roleplaying/miniature battles in that 'world' is we all have a visual reference that isn't nearly met by the current line of miniatures and tiles. Its coming, but, maybe too late. I would recommend this product, as the appeal of combat on the grid with figures is good. My caution is also with the new 2.0 D&D miniatures going to a 'non-grid' 4th edition standard, it might become when they do the same with SW.
Lots of pieces, loads of mess March 30, 2008

Perhaps I was naive when I decided to acquire this product, as a supplement for Star Wars RPG Saga Edition, but I was surprised to find what I found. I should have paid more attention to the fact that the product is in fact tiles, literally tiles, of various sizes. There are no maps to speak of, something that I assumed would come with said product. Now, what really gets to me is perhaps the set-up for example:
A battle scene, you would think this would be easy, right? So I decide, as the GM, that I will set it on a space station. It just so happens I have plenty of tiles to accommodate that (by the way, that is all there is). Now I have to assemble this glories map, tile-set, only it is like a jig-saw puzzle, attempting to make sense of what I am trying to make is bantha poo-doo. At this point, the PCs are growing impatient at perhaps the fact that the setup is taking so long... after a period of time the set is ready for combat of epic proportions. As characters move their minis, as do they move the tiles, and in fact the map after a short period of time is falling apart at the seams.
So it would appear that I should stick to maps, or create my own maps, or find some other way of using these tiles. If I have appeared to rant incoherently I apologize. But oh boy, what a treat.

Vong able to go into any army?
Can't remember where I saw this notion but somewhere it was suggested that the Vong could act as Fringe and be added to any army. Was this just an "idea" or something that's actually done in tournaments and whatnot? Personally I find the Vong near unplayable in any effective manner, but if they...
Oddball's CE
So, Oddball's CE says:
Allied characters with Pilot gain Grenades 20 and Penetration 20.
Does this mean that a Shistavanen Pilot does not benefit from his CE, because he does not have the Pilot ability? I'm assuming that's the way it works (see Nym's CE for a similar example).
