Reception

Robert McMahon reviewed Traveller Miniatures in The Space Gamer No. 48. [1] McMahon commented that "Compared with other Traveller lines I've seen, Citadel easily leads the field. These figures are excellent additions to a Traveller collection, particularly as they come in Traveller-sized boxes and include foam padding – essential, considering the way many people treat their miniatures. I heartily recommend these figure packs to all science fiction miniature enthusiasts." [1]

Players take in turns to move, fight and command armies of between twenty and fifty miniature figures each, and following the rules, tabletop games lasting a few hours are played. This type of war game is played on a tabletop with miniature figures, vehicles and scenery. Two or more players are required.
