Ares games and Eaglemoss Productions have both been working for just under two years building their Miniatures Game and Model Collections. Both companies have just over a dozen releases. If you know The Battlestar Galactica universe; you know that 12 and 13 are important numbers with multiple meanings. I like that these companies have randomly (fatefully?) aligned in their efforts to bring us a great Miniatures Game and Collectible Models!
The American Debut of The Battlestar Galactica Starship Battles Game was at Gen Con in August 2018! A awesome social media friend of mine Roberto Di Meglio stared in a number of cool and fun to watch informative videos at the event. As he told us his intentions for the game: speaking with authority as The Production Manager of Ares Games... I liked him immediately!
The next Battlestar Galactica Starship Battles Game debut at Spiel in October (Halloween-week) 2018 was the start of large BSG SSB group event demo plays!
ARES has released six models thus far with alternate paint-jobs making up a total of fourteen Spaceship Expansion Packs! There are two more models already done: the TOS Viper MkI and updated (Razor-B&C-1st Cylon War) Cylon Raider. These two models will makeup the next five Spaceship Expansion Packs which are all planned for an early 2020 release!
The BSG COL is looking great! The series is going to continue past the original plans of being a limited edition of twelve issues! I expect that Eaglemoss is going to make everything... hotdam... like they have done with Star Trek. I am not buying the entire BSG Collection. I am using the six wonderful Capitol ships for my versions of BSG EPIC (Star Wars Armada) scaled games.
