Hailing on all frequencies! WizKids’ highly recognized tactical combat miniatures game, Star Trek: Attack Wing, will be receiving a much-anticipated refresh to the base game and a new configuration for the game product line.

Originally launched in 2013, Star Trek: Attack Wing utilizes the FlightPath™ maneuver system and features collectible, pre-painted ships from the Star Trek Universe. In the game, players command their fleets in tactical space combat and customize their ships with captains, crew, weapons, and tech. Offering numerous expansion packs (over 90+ at the date of this printing), and loads of unique in-store events, WizKids has provided a great deal of exciting play from the Star Trek Universe for fans of the franchise, and now we’re learning they’re primed to give players even more.

So, what’s coming? WizKids will be releasing a digital version of the revised Star Trek: Attack Wing rulebook. The rulebook will feature refreshed rules that incorporate rulings and FAQs previously released online, providing an up-to-date, comprehensive resource for players. The revised rulebook will also be available as a free digital download for all players on WizKids’ official website (www.wizkids.com) later this spring. Most importantly, all previously released Star Trek: Attack Wing products will be compatible; no products will become obsolete in conjunction with this update. Live long and prosper, as they say!

WizKids will also be offering two new ways for players to expand on their game. The first new expansion format is the Star Trek: Attack Wing Faction Pack. Faction Packs will contain all-new game content, including four new ships and around 30-cards per pack. These packs will offer a ready-to-field fleet of ships from the same faction, which will allow new players to field a team while providing a lower price point (per ship) to new and veteran customers. Faction Packs will be launching in the fall, with releases for both the Romulans and The Dominion, followed by new releases every other month.

The second expansion format will be the Star Trek: Attack Wing Card Pack, which will include mostly new content with a few updated cards and tokens here and there. As the name implies, the primary focus of these packs is the cards and their associated tokens. While Card Packs won’t include ship models, they will note the previously-released ships that players need to purchase (if they don’t already own the ships their cards reference). This new configuration will offer a more cost-effective option for players who already have many copies of an existing ship sculpt. Players can expect two Card Packs to be released every other month starting in the summer.

Players will be excited to see the return of many popular ships that have been out of stock. Featuring updated, high quality paint jobs, these “reprints” are sure to add sizzle to every player’s game and are something not to be missed!

The new line-up and configuration will start rolling out in the spring. Resistance is futile, so contact your friendly local game store today to pre-order your very own new Faction and Card Packs!
