A bit of a blast from the past last week with a game of Star Wars Miniatures Starships Battles. These rules came out way back in 2006 (in my head that's just the other day but of course it's... gulp...17 years ago!). I think I'd played this when it came out but not since then.
They use a pretty simple grid based system which actually gives a fun, fast moving game. It's not the most complex game but ideal for an evenings gaming.
We both had one substantial capital ship each backed up by assorted fighters... we used a couple of suggested house rules limiting ranges to 4 squares, otherwise fighters tend to get blown away at long range, and it led to a tense game as the rebels whittled down the Imperial fighters before ganging up on the Destroyer and eventually destroying it.
Good fun by the sound of it 😀
