| 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.

 This book is worth it for the maps alone (and if you like any of the scenarios, that is an added bonus) February 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Though I am a huge fan of the Star Wars Minis game, I am not a big fan of the scenarios in this book (some are pretty good, but most are not). However, there are several things I liked about this item that I thought worth sharing. The best thing about this book are the two maps at the end:
Map 1: Throne Room/Chancellor's Starship -- A very good to great map that is legal for 100, 150, and 200 point tournament play. This map is huge/rigid friendly, and works well for both shooting and melee characters.
Map 2: Mustafar -- A very good map that is unfortunately no longer legal for official tournament play (but still a fun choice when playing a casual game with friends). Huge advantage for shooters (so if you like to play shooting squads - as opposed to melee squads - you'll definitely want to get this map).
Another nice thing about this item is the terrain tiles, special rules, and random scenario generator at the end (it's very flexible, so you can use all of them, or just the parts you like). For example, you can roll a D20 to determine what type of terrain there is (snow, desert, jungle, swamp, etc.), type of mission (skirmish, ambush, rescue, escape, etc.), and more. All options in this section of the book come with their own interesting and easy to understand special rules. Unfortunately, this is basically the same information that comes in the Rebel Storm: Ultimate Missions book (but if you don't have that book, it is worth getting in this one).
In sum, I would not necessarily buy this book for the missions (which make up 75% of this book), but this item is definitely/still worth getting for the maps, terrain tiles, and the special rules and random scenario generator.
 Star Wars Minis Accessories July 10, 2007
This book was not available in local stores as it is out of print now. Amazon had a copy of it brand new. Showed up in perfect, unused condition and in a timely manner. Glad I was able to find it here and at a great price!
Just as good as the first two August 15, 2006
The Ultimate Missions for Revenge of the Sith pretty much mirrors the format of the first two books in the series, and is easily worth purchasing just for the new maps if nothing else (and there is a lot more). This book also shows (begins?) the trend of mixing the minis game and RPG info, as the last several pages are devoted to Episode 3 character RPG stats, which is outside the scope of the minis game, but fun to have nonetheless. As with the other books, some of the attempts at recreating movie situations make for terribly difficult missions, but this book should provide players of the game with many hours of ideas. A side note; most of the illustrations are excellent -- it's a very sharp looking book.
LOVE THIS GAME...This book is a great asset August 2, 2005
If you love the Star Wars Universe you can probably make up your own senarios for the game, however, this book like the ones before it really make living the movies through the game easy to jump into. If nothing else the new maps alone make this worth the purchase.
NEW MISSIONS! NEW MAPS! August 2, 2005
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
These Ultimate Mission books are brilliant. The maps are, as in past Ultimate Mission offerings, reason enough to get the book. But the wide range of missions is very welcome. Of course there are missions based on Episode III, but missions of highlight would be the addition of missions based on the events seen in the Clone Wars animated series from Cartoon Network. There are a few missions that use the maps found in the Revenge of the Sith starter game box set and the Clone Wars starter set as well. There are a couple missions that, if your collection of miniatures allows anyways, the choice to use miniatures from various sets, not just the Revenge set. It's cool to see one of these books acknowledge past sets and maps, not just stick to the new stuff.

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?

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...
