| 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.

 It's a Love-Hate Thing December 30, 2008
I love this game, and I'm frustrated by this game. Finally, a game has come out that looks like the Star Wars movies. Since I love the movies so much, the story for the game seems a little ridiculous to me at times, but it's good enough to take us along on a fun-to-play adventure. The strategy guide, however, is not as in-depth as I would have liked. Sometimes things aren't explained very well, and it doesn't tell you much about everything available to earn, as in costumes, lightsaber crystals, etc.
My biggest complaint is about the Star Destroyer sequence. I've read many reviews of the game that describe it as the toughest sequence in the game, which it is...at first. The first time I did it took about half an hour. Once I caught on to how it's done, though, my second time took about five minutes. But here's the complaint: The book doesn't help you with this. It just says to follow the onscreen prompts (which aren't very helpful either). (Sigh)
So, the book is very helpful with instructions of how to get through each level, and exactly where to find all the Holocrons, but I'm afraid the only way to really advance in the game is to just play through it a lot. There are a lot of unlockable achievements that the book hardly describes, but then it doesn't tell you what achieving them even means. Do you gain power? Do you move faster? I don't know. It's helped me learn my way better around the maps, but the rest is down to playing experience.
 not what you think December 21, 2008
i bought this thinking it would be like other prima offical stratigy guides. it was not. its just a comic book with a sticker on the back that says "official stratigy guide." what i got and what i ordered were two different things.

I've purchased this for my son for Christmas because it is a game he indicated that he wanted. I hope it lives up to his expectations.
 A guide with no game October 24, 2008
1 out of 12 found this review helpful
I had ordered the guide and also the game....the guide was delivered and in great condition....my complaint was that the game I had also ordered was not delivered and even though I have emailed both the sender and Amazon.com, I have not received an answer. The money for the game was taken out of my account on the 24th of September. Please try to help me on this matter. I have dealt with Amazon before and never had a problem. Thank you for your help.

 only useful to cheat with October 14, 2008

star wars TFU isn't the kind of game that needs a guide. It's completely linear (except for one choice at the very end, which just changes the ending cutscene [and you can just restart from the last checkpoint to see both of them.]) The guide doesn't help explain anything you couldn't figure out easily on your own. It's not like, say, Oblivion or KOTOR where a guide can help you work with the game mechanics (guilds, quests, skills etc.) to make your character cooler without outright cheating. TFU's powers are simple button combo's that are displayed onscreen in the menus. Essentially all this guide has are step-by-step walkthroughs of the (fairly small, completely straightforward) levels, showing you precisely where all the power-ups are. (There's only one type of useful powerup in the game, btw.) If that's your cup of tea, being led by the hand through a game, being told where EVERYTHING is, then this books for you. If, on the other hand, like myself, you call that cheating (seriously, how is that FUN?), and were looking for a book that would immerse you further in the experience, this ain't it.

Here is how it worked. Borders at my local mall is going out of buisness so everything is 50% off. 11 dollar boosters! On top of that my GF works in customer service at the...
Vassal SWM Module - Possible to change resolution
Using Vassal v3.0.17. The Help/About Screen shows the mod to be at 8.2. but Help/Mod Info shows 8.4?
Using a 22" LCD @ 1680x1050, XP box. Curious to see if there any way to have the map fullscreen, or have it resized to fit in all available space (other than scaling using the zoom buttons?
Vader JH, meet Jolee Bindo
So it's a bsic B&B concept at 200, but added Jolee for his ability to not help the troops, but help Vader, who barely needs help as is, but is even more of a tank with a small bonus to his attack and defense score. And this leaves me an extra point, but I'm happy with it. Any thoughts, I haven't...

Is This a Good Idea?
In my area, not too many people play. there are some people intrested, but they don't have many pieces so they can't justify paying the 6$ entry fee to play every week. i plan on making some pre-constructed squads for them that they can purchase from me. i'd be selling off most of the stuff i don't...
Why do we need sooo many Vaders?
I love the game and I think Wizards has done a fine job with the figures. Why do they keep remaking the same characters over and over? How many Vaders do we need? or Luke, Lando and Han? What about Ben Skywalker, Jaina Sword to the Jedi, Zekk, or Jagged Fel dark jedi hunter? There are soooooo many...
hey, any pro converters, can you make this guy?
i think he's from Episode 5 as i recall seeing him in the background of the anakin/padme romance scenes on the beach in Naboo. those crazy backwoods nabooite free-wheelin' hippies!
i'm not sure what base model we'd have to use in SWM to make him though... :D ...

My son is going to be a great Jedi Knight
A few months ago, I posted the picture of my 1 1/2 year-old son hugging a lightsaber at Target. So last night I was playing my brother in a game (see thread "Time for an Intervention") and my son came walking up and wanted to sit on my lap. He doesn't really talk yet, but I could see the glimmer...
Time for an Intervention
So, for the longest time, my brother has put together the some pretty bad squads. He usually rejects my advice (but not all) by saying that he has a different "playing style". (Sounds like denial to me ;) )
Anyhow, I've never given him a hard time about it because we play for fun. However, last...
Font issues
Does anyone know the font for the new style of cards.... it looks like they are still using Agency FB for the body text but the header font is new...any thoughts?

Where could I find a list of force powers that are able to be used against the Yuuzong Vong? (OK to use against force immunity)
Could Darth Vader, SotJ use Lightsaber Throw 2?
I tried finding a list to help me out, but was unable to find anything. Please help. Thanks a lot.
Cade Skywalker? Amazingly Broken!
Well, when he first came out, and people used him with Doombot, he was a pain, but an expensive pain, and not a big threat. I'm sure in bigger games, he isn't a major factor. However, with his long removed female ancestor, Padme Amidala, Senator, he has a place to be one of the most broken pieces...
