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]

Imperial Commander is a 15mm science fiction war game, based on the range of metal Laserburn miniatures available from Tabletop Games. Written by Richard Halliwell and Bryan Ansell in 1981, the game still has a small but enthusiastic following. Battles take place between an oppressive, galaxy spanning "Imperium" and the religious, fanatic "Red Redemption". 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. An updated version of this game, called Imperial Commander 2 was in development; however, it was never published because of copyright issues.
