Booster Set: Seven Pre-Painted Miniatures & Seven Full Color Stat Cards; $21.99With all of the current Collectible Miniatures Games still stuck on the ground or at sea, it is pleasing to see one take to the stars, and the Star Wars universe, no less. Having already done ground battles with Star Wars Miniatures: Rebel Storm and it many expansions, Wizards of the Coast take the same format and apply it to the spaceships and starships of the same franchise. There are certainly similarities between that game and this one, but then both are based on the d20 System version offer Star Wars RPG. What this means is that Star Wars Miniatures: Space Battles is both easy to learn and easy to play, and because the miniatures are based on inanimate objects rather than individuals, all of the spaceships look pretty good.
