| Any cross over with the Axis and allies crowd here?

Is this a hint at what we might be able to expect for the Star Wars Starship series?

| Great stuff... Pivoting base!!!
Most likely the SW starship game will be like this.....
I should be able to use them in the SW rpg as well. The rules sorta show mini ships. Turning and banking etc..... | |

| | I´m hopping this game (Galactic conquest) centers more in cruicers and large ships than in fighters, i hope fighters comes as swarms in small or medium bases, and cruicers and so on in large ones. let see how they work. | |

| | Well, I saw a rumor that the Galactic Conquest boxes are 'huge size', so I would think that lends itself to Capital or combined scale... | | | |

| Something Like this???
Fighters "Tiny"
Shuttles "Small"
M. Falcon "Med."
Capital Ships "Large"
Star Destroyers "Huge"
And the Rares & VRs are special ships: "Luke's X-Wing" "Slave 1" etc... I would like this type of game..... | |

| In Starship proportions i guess that destroyers are Colosal!
Swarm style could fit better, for example a medium base as 15 xwing fighters, and the uniques is a squad leaded by luke or wedge squad. | |

| | To include both fighters and Stars Destroyers, I will have to be a subjective scale and not to scale. | | | |

| Maybe it will have units of fighters on one base?

Pathetic Earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void - without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe - anything at all - you would have hidden from it in terror. | |

| | Is hard to see... because the both scales are very importan but a little incompatible, one factor is that in SW tiny fighters could stand a Destroyer, so all is very important. | |

| To put some scale into perspective:
If the smallest fighters were tiny:
Standard Tie Fighter: 6.3 Meters long
X-Wing: 17 meters
Y-Wing: 18 Meters
Slave 1: 22 Meters
Millenium Falcon: 27 Meters
Rebel Troops Transport: 90 Meters
Tantive IV 150 Meters
Medical Frigate: 300 Meters
Star Destroyer: 1500 Meters
Super Star Destroyer: 12,800 Meters
Death Star II: 160 KM.
http://www.merzo.net/index.html
Best bet in my book is to make large capital ships Huge, standard capital's Large (Tantive IV, and perhaps the first gen Star Destroyers from the end of Episode II), Squadrons of fighters would be medium, and individual craft (Falcon, Vader's Tie, etc.) would be small or even tiny.

| Every thing is very tight lipped about the set, and i was hoping to get some idea of mechanics and model designs from the look of the A&A. but we can't be sure it will be a direct transition.
The reason they don't say anything is becuase WotC/Hasbro doesn't own Star Wars, they own Avalon Hill and D&D so they can do anything they want, LFL has to approve everything and is very controlling over what is released in previews even of the figures, games, toys etc... | |

| Is the Star Ship game 100% going to happen???? or is it still "iffy?"
I hope they make it. I would think it would be a big hit.... | |

| | It is indeed Galactic Conquest and should/ will be out by the end of the year. Yes I'd seen where a guy had seen the boxes. I must say I'm hoping they only have the SWMSS to a set of 30 or 40. That way as they intermingle the mini release with the SS release it lasts awhile. | |

| I was hopping that i could place a fleet of 3 to 4 Star destroyers with some support and tie squadrons in games for 200 pts! if Star Destroyers become huge or more that would be very hard.
I can´t recreate the clone wars battle over coruscant [:(]

| | I'd agree thast the scale is going to be off. They cannot make a star destroyer snd a fighter to scale and package them togehter. | |

I read over on GamingReport.com that the SW Space game is now being slated for a 2007 release, not sure exactly when, but this should end all rumors of a GenCon premier.
