Star Trek: Attack Wing Mini-Tournament at GenCon

As part of their release of their new miniatures game Star Trek: Attack Wing during GenCon, Wizkids announced yesterday that it will be hosting sealed/constructed format mini-tournaments in the tournament hall.  As explained in the release on their website:

"In these sealed/constructed battles, players will be grouped into pods of 4 players.  Each player will receive one of the initial 8 expansion packs by random draw.  Players must use the expansion ship they receive to fill out a 100 point build (players will need to bring their own collection of ships from the Starter Set and/or expansion sets which will be available for purchase at the WizKids Games booth).  Players in the group will be paired up randomly for the first round of head-to-head play.  The winners from the first round will play against each other in a second round to determine a final winner of the mini-tournament.  The mini-tournament winner will receive an additional expansion pack (by random draw) and a special Promo Card."

The entry fee for the mini-tournaments is $18 per person (entry fee includes the random expansion pack).  The Star Trek: Attack Wing Mini-Tournaments will run on Thursday from 1:00pm to 9:00pm; Friday & Saturday from 10:00am to 8:00pm; Sunday from 10:00am to 2:00pm.  The 4-player mini-tournaments will start once a group has four players.

Star Trek: Attack Wing Organized Play To Begin In September

In September, WizKids will launch a 6-month long storyline organized play event for Star Trek: Attack Wing, its new Star Trek miniatures tactical space combat game.  Participating stores will host tournaments where players challenge each other for dominance of the Alpha Quadrant, as part of the Dominion War.  Players will collect a participation prize each month and will compete for a new playable ship that will be offered only through the organized play events.  At the end of the six months, the player with the best record will be awarded the title of Fleet Admiral as well as a special grand prize.

The Dominion War story line was mostly developed throughout the Deep Space Nine series and features the struggle and chaos faced by the Federation and their allies when the Jem'Hadar and the Breen Confederacy established a presence in the Alpha Quadrant and attempted to conquer everything in their path with the help of their allies, the Cardassian Union.

The Star Trek: Attack Wing Starter Set will be released in August and includes the U.S.S. Enterprise-D/Galaxy-class, the I.K.S. Maht-H'a/Vor'Cha-class, and the I.R.W. Khazara/D'deridex-class ships as well as a rulebook and all the components necessary for play.  August will also see the release of the first 8 expansion packs for Star Trek: Attack Wing, two each of Federation, Klingon, Romulan and Dominion faction ships.

Expansion Packs for Star Trek: Attack Wing

In March, WizKids announced plans for Star Trek: Attack Wing, a new board game in its Star Trek Heroclix line.  Expected to be released in August during Gen Con Indy, the game uses miniatures and the same FlightPath maneuver system as the Star Wars X-Wing game from Fantasy Flight Games.

Games will be played on Star Trek space maps distributed via an organized play program and will be sold in non-blind configurations with three-ship starter box sets. However, despite sharing the same mechanics system, the Star Trek: Attack Wing game is not compatible with Star Wars X-Wing.

Just this past Monday, WizKids announced eight single-ship expansion packs for Star Trek: Attack Wing.  The first expansion packs for the game are:

1. Federation U.S.S. Reliant Expansion Pack.
2. Federation U.S.S. Enterprise Expansion Pack.
3. Romulan I.R.W. Valdore Expansion Pack.
4. Romulan I.R.S. Apnex Expansion Pack.
5. Klingon I.K.S. Gr'oth Expansion Pack.
6. Klingon I.K.S. Negh'var Expansion Pack.
7. Dominion Kraxon Expansion Pack.
8. Dominion Gor Portas Expansion Pack.
