Subject: [OT] Fleets-SG1 Re: Any not-Aliens out there in 25/28mm?
I've just seen the inside of the Fleets board game that has the Stargate SG-1 franchise. I've been interested in the Fleets game for a number of simple, but usable plastic ships, but thought the single design limited. However, for $25US, the small metric b**tload of pieces seemed about right. However, for about $10US more, you can get three kinds of ships, based on show designs, in hard plastic, and three kinds of gropos, in soft plastic, that include Asgardians (look out you greys lovers), Gho'ul, and humans, each in two colors to accommodate six players. I'm not sure of scale, but they seem somewhere between 15mm and 25mm, for the gropos. For those wanting large groups, this may be a way to go. Take a look at someone else's copy before jumping in, of course. By the way, I hear that the SG1-specific rules add to the game, too. I had fun playing, but didn't think it bore a lot of replay. I did think there's a campaign system somewhere in there... The_Beast
