Star Wars Miniatures

Star Wars Miniatures is a fast-paced RPG-style game featuring miniature 34mm scale models of characters and vehicles from across the Star Wars Saga. For collectors, the underside of each model's base contains information on the set, rarity, and the model's unique number in the set. The models can be used to represent created characters or non-playable characters (NPCs) in the Star Wars Roleplaying Game. The primary use, however, is with the special Star Wars Miniatures rules. This game pits two or more squads against each other in a quick and heated death-match scenario. Before the game begins players choose the units to comprise their squads on these basic limitations: a squad cannot have members from both a Light Side faction and a Dark Side faction, a squad cannot combie units from different eras (with the exception of Fringe units), and the total point cost of all units in the squad cannot exceed 100.



Once all players' squads are ready, the units are deployed on to a gridded map--typically on opposite sides. The map can be customized with terrain tiles that come with some sets and books. The units are "activated" two at a time during each "phase" of play. Players can choose to move a unit six grid spaces and attack (in either order), or move twelve grid spaces but not attack. In order to attack, players roll a twenty-sided die (known as a d20) and add on their unit's attack bonus. If the comined total is greater than or equal to the defending unit's defense, the attack hits its mark and damage is dealt. The player/team that completely defeats all of their opponents, or forces their opponents to forfeit, is declared the victor.

In battle, every unit has its own unique abilities. These statistics and abilities are recorded on the unit's corresponding stat card. The card details a unit's faction, hit points (HP), defense, attack, special abilities, force powers, and other advanced information. The other side features a reference sketch used in the creation of the model. See below for an example of a stat card.

Three sets of miniatures have thus far been released. Each set contains sixty models of varying rarity. The sets are as follows: Future sets may include units from the Great Sith War, the New Republic era, and the Yuuzhan Vong invasion.
 * Rebel Storm: Classic trilogy Era
 * Clone Strike: Prequel trilogy Era
 * Revenge of the Sith: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith



The Ultimate Missions book series is a supplement for Star Wars Miniatures. One book is released for each expansion (inculding one that covers all eras) and includes scenarios, gameplay ideas, full maps, and terrain tiles to further expand the game's playablity. Many online scenarios also utilize the maps and tiles found in these books.
