HeroClix-based game?

[B.J.]

I didn't find anything else on this, so....

WizKids/NECA and CBS Consumer Products today announced that they have entered into an agreement wherein WizKids/NECA will create HeroClix branded miniature games to be sold both physically and digitally, set in the Star Trek universe, including all of the Star Trek television shows and Star Trek feature films.

The first WizKids/NECA Star Trek game will release around Christmas, 2010 with additional expansions to follow.

And I'm hearing this 3rd person, but apparently someone saw this on BoardGameGeek:

Hey there - Justin from WizKids Games. There are 2 incarnations of game.

1: A Ship to Ship combat game - Pre-painted plastic minis where 2 players play head to head. It will use the HeroClix combat dial to track HPs, attack, damage, etc. Ship figures will not play with Marvel or DC characters though

2: A co-op euro style strategy game where you will play 1 of the ST crew and work with others to complete missions, just like the movies/TV shows. Again, the HeroClix dial will be used to track stats (skills in the case of the co-op game).

Thoughts? The ship-to-ship version sounds interesting to me, seeing as I never really got into Starfleet Battles et al because it was way too complex (IMO). I guess we'll see how it turns out.

(Apologies if someone else has already posted this.)

If ship models are detailed to Micro Machine standards, i'd be willing to buy packs just for display, especially if they bring out obscure designs to fill the ranks.

I would buy for display purposes too,and maybe some game play I collect heroclix for DC as well as Marvel so this could add to my collection.
