Anyone play Starfleet Wars?

Not Starfleet Battles, but Starfleet Wars:



This starship combat game actually came out before SFB in the late 1970s. It had a pretty stratightforward set of rules, and a line of miniatures for five different factions: Terran, Avarian, Aquarian, Entomalian, and Carnivoran. They used to run advertisements in gaming publications, including The Dragon:



As the name of my blog indicates, I'm a big fan of the game. (Here's the first part of the Starfleet Wars review I wrote.) I've played this game several times, even ran a game at a local convention. Did/does anyone else play Starfleet Wars or have those minis?

Huh. Not only have I never played it, I don't think I'd ever heard of it before today. :-O

Yeah, thanks to MKP and ebay, I've built up quite the collection! ;D

Yes I'm a player as well. I have M.A.T.T.A.C. from Superior for the land combat boxed away in the attic

Espatier, have you played SfW recently? I thought it was too complicated with all the power allocation, but it's actually quite elegant. I played several battles and even ran a short-lived campaign.

I just got MAATAC (it's still in print and for sale by Monday Knight Productions), but I haven't played it yet.
