I want to see how they handle damage. I hate chit pull. I want cards.
Probbaly why I don't do miniatures games then, that proce my be close to £50 when it hits UK shores so definitely won't be looking at it unfortunately.
It's tough for you UK folks. At online discount the starter set will be like $35 in the states, which makes it a little more reasonable.

Of course, to my far-from-expert eye, most of the Sails of Glory ships look the same, too, and there are three or four large waves of those (and at least many of the early Wings of War minis were just repaints of the same model).
It looks to me like you are correct. The models of the named ships are the same as the standard, but have "markings" (i.e. slightly different paints), and come with special named pilot cards.
Thanks. Just to be clear, I wasn't be critical of anything, just noting that as a potential "mine" for content, BSG is somewhat surprisingly thin for ship models given the lack of differentiation (which ties into the theme but makes getting a bunch of different minis less attractive--to me at least).

Sounds like a positive feature.

I’m wondering how they’ll do capitals because that is a big part of BSG...but waaaaaaaay out of scale. I mean, a Battlestar isn’t really possible in this game unless the fighters are the size they are in Armada.

That part looks pretty interesting. I’ll be curious to see how much it adds to game play.

Don't recall ever seeing missiles in Star Wars.

*whispers* Concussion missiles from prequels
Personally, I like how Mission Command: Sea deals with missiles.
