SFB Miniatures

There are a number of miniature figures which can be used for SFB. The larger miniatures require a different scale map -- you can use the standard rules with oversized megahex maps, or eliminate use of hexes and use the earlier edition miniatures rules. The Elite line of miniatures can be used on the standard SFB map. I would recommend Andrew Penman's Page to see some examples of SFB miniatures.

Amarillo Design Bureau is currently (Spring 2001) producing miniatures for use with SFB. There are also many previous lines of miniatures which may be available: including those by Task Force Games and Gamescience.

• STAR FLEET 2400 (Amarillo Design Bureau)
  This is the latest line of miniatures from ADB, which started release in 2000. It is a

• Elite Miniatures (Task Force Games)
  This was a line of smaller metal figures which were scaled to fit on the standard 5/8'' map, although obviously they don't stack. There is some loss of detail compared to the main SFB miniature lines.

• STAR FLEET 2300 (Task Force Games)
  These is a smaller line of large-scale pewter miniatures available through TFG. These seem to be going out of stock in favor of the Elite line.

• Maps
  The old official product H1: MegaHex is currently out of print and hard to acquire. However, a new large-scale map product is coming out soon (or may be out) from ADB. Check their website for details. Another alternative for the large hex map is the StarScape Map from GeoHex. For details on this, see the GeoHex homepage.

• Rules Section W: Miniatures (Agents of Gaming)
  For $2, this covers the out-of-print rules for non-hex-map miniature play. It includes a set of light card-stock wheels for different turn modes. Information on this and other packs is available on the AoG page.

Painting

For more on painting miniatures, Captain's Log #17 had a feature on miniatures and painting them. Also, you can check out some sites on the web for Star Trek models. For samples, see the GriffWorks Shipyard site.
