The folks over at WizKids know a good thing when they see it. According to StarTrek.com, they will be adapting their popular Star Trek HeroClix Tactics line of miniatures into a new game called “Star Trek Attack Wing”. Licensing the “FlightPath Maneuver System” from Fantasy Flight Games, this game looks to be a solid copy of Star Wars: X-Wing the Miniatures Game, but with a HeroClix spin. Player will have access to forces made up from different factions and empires across the Star Trek Universe. Fleets can then be upgraded with various upgrades and iconic characters from the Star Trek Universe.
Obviously, the big question on everyone’s mind is going to be whether or not the WizKids and FFG systems will be fully compatible so that fans of both series can final settle the dispute over which is better. It’s probably not going to be that simple, but gamers all around have a lot to look forward to with Star Trek Attack Wing.
Whoops! I completely forgot to add the links to this article.
