Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game



The X-Wing Miniatures Game is a tactical ship-to-ship combat game that is currently under development by Fantasy Flight Games. Players will be able to control starships, such as Rebel X-wings and Imperial TIE fighters, and pit them against each other in fast-paced space combat. The game is reported to feature detailed and painted miniatures and will recreate Star Wars space combat in several scenarios included in the release. Players will be able to select their crew and plan their maneuvers before play in order to develop strategies to complete their missions.

The release of the game was delayed for reasons unannounced by Fantasy Flight Games, but could be related to the same decisions made to postpone the release of the company's other Star Wars-themed game, Star Wars: The Card Game LCG.
