Battlestar Galactica Starship Battles

Battlestar Galactica: Starship Battles is a tactical miniature combat game published by Ares Games that simulates the high-stakes dogfights of the “Battlestar Galactica” universe. Created by the designers of Wings of Glory, it features pre-painted, ready-to-play miniatures and supports both the “Classical” 1970s and the “Reimagined” 2004 series.

The game is known for its realistic space physics, emphasizing momentum and kinetic energy.
Simultaneous Planning: Players secretly plot their maneuvers using unique maneuver cards and a plastic control panel.
Inertia & Rotation: Unlike atmospheric flight games, ships can rotate their facing while continuing to drift in their original direction of travel, allowing pilots to fire on pursuing enemies.
Control Panels: Each ship has a dedicated panel to track speed, rotation, and kinetic energy, reducing on-board clutter.
Three Tiers of Play: You can start with Quick Start rules for simple dogfights or advance to Complete and Optional rules that include fuel management, asteroid fields, planetoids, and vertical movement.

The Starter Set provides everything needed for 2–4 players to begin immediately.
Pre-painted Miniatures: Includes two Colonial Viper Mark IIs (including Apollo’s) and two Cylon Raiders.
Gaming Materials: 4 control panels, 4 rotating bases, maneuver decks, and combat rulers.
Pilot & Talent Cards: Features character-specific cards for pilots like Adama and Apollo, each with unique talents and flaws.
Visual Flair: All paper materials, including rulebooks and cards, feature “clipped corners” to match the aesthetic seen in the TV show.
