Its a good game – pre paint is pretty dire but a wash and dry brush fixes that. Like X-wing but has more 'layers' and feels better as a portrayal of Star Trek than X-Wing does as a portrayal of Star Wars – if that makes any sense what so ever. |

"…and feels better as a portrayal of Star Trek than X-Wing does as a portrayal of Star Wars …" That's very interesting. From what I've read elsewhere, there are a *lot* of people saying the exact opposite. I can't comment personally, as I haven't played Attack Wing -- but I'd love for it to be good. |

I think it does Dominion War era better than TOS or pre-Borg War TNG. In DW and Borg Wars, ships go down like fighters. (Ironically, it seemed the Federation fighter wings lasted longer than capital ships!) So I think it is how you perceive ST combat. I dislike X-wing and messed with Attack Wing while playing X-Wing at Dice Tower Con back on July 4th. I like Star Trek: Fleet Captains much better and it uses the same ships unpainted. So that scratches my ship battle itch with extra layers. |

Are Attack Wing movement templates completely compatible with X-Wing movement templates? I'd love another set of curves and straights to fit in with XW, I'd love an excuse to change horses and look at Star Trek. |

They are compatible but they added some templates. There is a 4 slight curve and a 6 straight in the attack wing box. I need to get my hands on one so I can release an upgrade set for our acrylic X-wing pack. I'm also working on updating the dials for wave 3 and the new movement types. |

The one slight is not quite the same either |

Another vote that it recreates Star Trek battles well. Haven't found ships being destroyed quite that easily. Have not seen any ship one-hit any other ship, and a good hit is usually hard to follow up (unless you are completely and totally outmaneuvering your opponent). Winning comes down to maneuver first and foremost, and you often get a second chance even after getting a mouthful of Klingon disruptors at close range . . . |
