Personal Review: The Clone Wars Starter: A Star Wars Miniatures Game Starter (Star Wars Miniatures Product)
The Clone Wars Starter Set is the fifth starter set for the Star Wars Miniatures game. This starter set comes with six figures (more information on the figures is presented below). You can also buy the Clone Wars boosters to add significant variety to the game (there are 40 additional figures in the Clone Wars minis set - and this is the 11th booster set for the Star Wars minis game). I'll try to write more about the Clone Wars boosters in a separate review, but the rest of this review focuses on the four key reasons why I gave this starter set five stars. First, each starter set comes with the same six fixed figures, including three light side figures (General Obi-Wan Kenobi, Clone Trooper Commander, and Clone Trooper), and three dark side figures (Count Dooku of Serenno, Security Battle Droid, and Super Battle Droid Commander). The Obi-Wan and Dooku figures are exclusive to the starter set (which means you can't get them anywhere else). Both of these exclusive figures have amazing stats, special abilities, and force powers (and Obi-Wan also has a super commander effect), so they are definitely worth adding to your collection. And, while the other four figures are available in previous sets, I very much appreciate the fact that you know exactly what you are getting up front. IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a misprint in the Rule Book Glossary re: Obi-Wan's card. Soresue Style Mastery says "When hit by an attack...," on the card, but in the glossary it says "When hit by a MELEE attack..." The most recent official ruling is that the card is correct (this has been confirmed by the game's creator, so feel free to check out their web page for the latest Errata). Second, and perhaps just as importantly, this set includes two great new maps ("Christophis" on one side, and "Freight Transit Station" on the other side). To me, these two new maps alone are worth the entire price of the starter set (i.e., since the map you pick and play on can influence the game as much as the figures you chose to play with -- and both of these maps
are very melee figure friendly). At the time this review was written there was no other way to get these maps except to purchase this starter set. Third, the starter set also contains a book with the quick start and advanced rules (and both are very easy to understand). Further, the Glossary at the end contains the latest definitions for all key words, special abilities, and force powers for every set released up to this point (i.e., the only place all of this information is located in one convenient location). Fourth, the set also includes a D20, force/damage counters, and pretty much everything you'll need to play. So, if this is the very first Star Wars minis item you are purchasing, you will still be able to have a fun game right out of the box. In sum, I think most experienced players will want to purchase this starter set for the exclusive figures and the two maps. However, if you are new to the game and just want to give it a try, this is a very inexpensive and reasonable way to do so.
