| 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.

 Really Fun January 6, 2009
This is a really neat starter set. My son loved it and loves looking and playing with the set. I guess the only complaint I would have is that the game is too complicated... for me at least. There are lots of rules... almost like chess. I guess once you understand all the rules and learn to apply them it would be enjoyable. I would buy it again... it's really a neat set.
 Clone Wars Set January 3, 2009
My 8 year old son and I have been playing Star Wars Miniatures for a few years now. When we first saw this set we bypassed it for the booster sets. After reading the last review though, I had to get the set to check it out.
If you don't own any Miniatures, this set has everything you need to start. BUY IT NOW. :)
The map is a great map, and is indeed worth getting.
The Dooku piece is great, adding a force/light saber user to the separatist army (Grievous isn't really useful in that way.)
The Obi-Wan is also worth getting. I already had a number of Obi-wan's but the "general" piece that comes with this set has by far the best abilities out of all of them.
This set also comes with two different droids and two different clones.
A must have for experienced players (and an inexpensive way for new players to give the game a try) November 11, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The Clone Wars Starter Set is the fifth starter set for the Star Wars Miniatures game. This starter set comes with six figures (more information on the figures is presented below). You can also buy the Clone Wars boosters to add significant variety to the game (there are 40 additional figures in the Clone Wars minis set - and this is the 11th booster set for the Star Wars minis game). I'll try to write more about the Clone Wars boosters in a separate review, but the rest of this review focuses on the four key reasons why I gave this starter set five stars.
First, each starter set comes with the same six fixed figures, including three light side figures (General Obi-Wan Kenobi, Clone Trooper Commander, and Clone Trooper), and three dark side figures (Count Dooku of Serenno, Security Battle Droid, and Super Battle Droid Commander). The Obi-Wan and Dooku figures are exclusive to the starter set (which means you can't get them anywhere else). Both of these exclusive figures have amazing stats, special abilities, and force powers (and Obi-Wan also has a super commander effect), so they are definitely worth adding to your collection. And, while the other four figures are available in previous sets, I very much appreciate the fact that you know exactly what you are getting up front. IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a misprint on Obi-Wan's card. Soresue Style Mastery says "When hit by an attack...," but it should say "When hit by a MELEE attack..." (this has been confirmed by the game's creator, so be sure to check out the glossary in the new rule book for the correct wording).
Second, and perhaps just as importantly, this set includes two great new maps ("Christophis" on one side, and "Freight Transit Station" on the other side). To me, these two new maps alone are worth the entire price of the starter set (i.e., since the map you pick and play on can influence the game as much as the figures you chose to play with -- and both of these maps are very melee figure friendly). At the time this review was written there was no other way to get these maps except to purchase this starter set.
Third, the starter set also contains a book with the quick start and advanced rules (and both are very easy to understand). Further, the Glossary at the end contains the latest definitions for all key words, special abilities, and force powers for every set released up to this point (i.e., the only place all of this information is located in one convenient location).
Fourth, the set also includes a D20, force/damage counters, and pretty much everything you'll need to play. So, if this is the very first Star Wars minis item you are purchasing, you will still be able to have a fun game right out of the box.
In sum, I think most experienced players will want to purchase this starter set for the exclusive figures and the two maps. However, if you are new to the game and just want to give it a try, this is a very inexpensive and reasonable way to do so.

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...

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...

If somone could make a one of the customs listed below, I would pay or trade you for it.
