Star Trek Adventures Iconic Villains

Star Trek Adventures is a pen and paper RPG that was released by Modiphius Entertainment in 2017. To go along with this game Modiphius released a series of miniatures in box sets with different themes including the bridge crews of the TOS Enterprise as well as the TNG Enterprise, there is also a box set for each setting of generic officers. You can also buy boxes of enemies like the Borg or Klingons. Inside the last box is the one I'm talking about today, the Iconic Villains.

MEGO Star Trek Chekov Action Figure Review

I am a child of the 80s which means I missed out on the Mego toy line which was popular in the 1970s. I never played with any Mego figures and I knew nobody that had any so I never came across them as a child. As I got older I used to love reading Twisted Toyfare Theater in Wizard magazine which was a comedy cartoon made using action figures and Mego in particular. Because of this, I was always interested in getting my hands on some Mego action figures and today I finally have.

Star Trek HeroClix Tactics II Booster Box Opening

I've dipped my foot into the wide world of Heroclix and with my current Star Trek kick, I decided to buy a booster box. I did this for a few reasons with the biggest being it's fun to open blind boxes to see what you get. Of the four HeroClix Tactics releases Series II is the cheapest so that's the one I purchased.

A Call To Arms Star Fleet Rulebook

A Call To Arms Star Fleet is the tale of three companies, Amarillo Design Bureau, Mongoose Publishing, and who ever currently owns Star Trek, currently CBS. In the late 1970s, Stephen V. Cole came up with the original game Star Fleet Battles for Task Force Games. That company closed and from its ashes was build Amarillo Design Bureau who currently produce Star Fleet Battles and Federation Commander, among other games.

FASA Star Trek II The Wrath Of Khan Klingon Crew Box Review

For less than 20 dollars shipped I got my hands on a FASA Star Trek 2 The Wrath Of Khan Klingon Crew miniature box. With this set, I'm only missing one more box set from the series, the Enterprise Bridge Crew.

Galoob Star Trek The Movies Micro Machines Review

I've been wanting to move some Star Trek ships around a table in a mock battle, you may even call it a wargame. My problem is that I have all the Star Trek counters I'll ever need from the assorted Federation Commander sets I've bought over the years and while using counters is just fine I like to play with a little more pizzazz, I like to play with miniatures.

FASA Star Trek Starship Tactical Combat Simulator

As I've mentioned in numerous posts (Captain Terrell, Regula One, Reliant Crew, Enterprise Crew)  that I always liked and coveted the FASA Star Trek movie starship miniatures but what fun are wargaming miniatures without a wargame to play with them. I finally decided I needed to pick up a copy of this game so I did.

Star Trek II The Wrath Of Khan Captain Terrell 25mm Miniature by Fasa

I've always loved the film Star Trek 2 The Wrath Of Khan and always was intrigued by the miniature ships that were released by Fasa as part of this line. I didn't know at the time that there was also a pen and paper RPG that also had miniatures made for the movie. I've been collecting these guys over the years, they aren't too expensive (the people, not the ships) but some can be hard to find including Captain Terrell.

Mega Construx Heroes Captain Picard Star Trek The Next Generation Series 1 Review

Here we have a Captain Picard action figure from Star Trek: The Next Generation as part of Series 1 of the Mega Construx Heroes line. He joins the Borg Drone from the same wave that I already reviewed.

Federation Commander Klingon Border Review

When Federation Commander was released by Amarillo Design Bureau it was designed as a way for fans to get their Star Fleet Battles fix without spending days and weeks playing and it turned out to be a success. I'm a big fan of Federation Commander and I've been able to get many of my friends to give it a try despite either fear of learning Star Fleet Battles or of not being a fan of Star Trek in general. I have to say after more than a decade that it's been a hit with everyone that I've played it with.

Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan FASA Regula One Box Review

I always keep an eye on Ebay for any of the Fasa Star Trek miniatures and I the Regula One box set for pretty cheap. This box set was complete except for the Regula One space station model. I still want the station and will buy it at some point but I couldn't let this set go buy and won it and with shipping I paid less than 10 dollars for it.

Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan FASA USS Reliant Box Review

A few years ago I made a post talking about the FASA Star Trek Miniatures that I had bought years ago. Of course, I wanted to get Khan and his crew to be antagonists for Kirk and the Enterprise crew. I knew that FASA had released a boxed set for Khan, the Reliant, and his crew that I've been looking to get for a long time now. Recently I found one that was in great condition which I've added to my collection.

Happy Birthday Star Trek!

Fifty years ago today at 8:30 pm eastern time a revolutionary show debuted on NBC called Star Trek. Over the last  fifty years many people have been influenced by this groundbreaking show. It broke a lot of barriers that the younger kids today wouldn't understand and because so many things after took parts of this show for their own it may make Star Trek feel like it's just a bunch of sci fi tropes but that's only because they did them first.

Star Trek FASA Miniatures The Wrath Of Khan

A few years ago I saw a lot of Star Trek miniatures on eBay for a pretty low price so I decided to bid and got them cheap. I paid around 10 dollars with shipping and the lot came with the entire bridge crew as well as Lt. Saavik, Carol Marcus, and David Marcus.

Federation Commander Solo Wargaming AAR

In my last post about Federation Commander, I played a simple solo game against a human opponent. Federation Commander is designed to be played against a live player but there are a few scenarios designed to be played solo. Today I'll be showing an After Action Report I played solo against Robot Rules. To be fair playing with the Robot Rules isn't as good as a human opponent and is a bit limiting but it is a good way to be able to play solo or to practice with a new ship, weapon, or strategy before you face an opponent.

Federation Commander Reference Rulebook Review

Amarillo Design Bureau released a Reference Rulebook for Federation Commander which contains all the current rules from every module released for the game. If you play Federation Commander I would recommend that you buy it for a few different reasons. The rulebook can be purchased in either a printed version or as a pdf from Steve Jackson Games e23 website.

Federation Commander First Missions AAR

In my last post, I gave an overview of how Federation Commander works, now I'm going to play out the First Missions scenario that can be downloaded for free from the ADB website. For those of you who didn't read my review, you can download First Missions for free which contains basic rules so you can try out Federation Commander before purchasing the complete game.

Federation Commander Review

Many years ago while I was still in high school I was at a friend's house playing some computer games, I believe Warcraft 2, and as my friends and I were leaving I passed his dad's den and he had a table set up with a big hex grid space map that had Captain Kirk's TOS Enterprise surrounded by two Klingon D-7s. I love Star Trek and didn't know anything about the game that was set up so I asked what it was and if we could play and was told it was called Star Fleet Battles but it was too complicated to teach. We were playing a bunch of different games back then so I let it go but my interest in the game never left.
