Star Trek HeroClix: Tactics puts you in command of Federation and Klingon vessels and is 100% compatible with the HeroClix core rules system. Tactics is intended as a standalone game system and will exist outside of the Modern and Golden Age tournament environments. What this means is Tactics operates by the same rules and Powers and Abilities card that your standard HeroClix game is played with, but is meant to be played as its own game.
Tactics features more than 20 pre-painted ships from both the Federation and Klingon affiliations and will be available for sale in both a 4-Ship starter product and single figure boosters.
Just this past weekend I was able to pick up a starter kit and 3 booster ships. With some luck I managed to get a Defiant so I am pretty happy! I was able to play the basic game late last night and it was pretty simple straight forward but not really all that exciting. I am hoping to review the Core Rules and move into playing at that level by this coming weekend. Overall the ships are pretty neat and they have used some interesting variations like the USS Pegasus (booster) and Rhode Island (starter pack). The started pack comes with 4 ships, two Federation (USS Enterprise A and Rhode Island) and two Klingon (IKS Rotarran and Bortas) two double sided game maps, instructions and a pair of 6 sided die.
So far I would give it a B- but once I get into the meaty rules that might change.
