WizKids’ Star Trek Attack Wing is the fast-paced miniatures game that lets you replicate starship battles using the great ships from across the different eras of Star Trek on television and films. Captain and Upgrade cards make the game highly customizable, letting you set up and equip your ships with crew, weapons, technology, and more. Most of the ships you’ll use in your games come from expansion packs (sold at your local comic book/game store), though of course there are also limited edition vessels you can win as prizes in tournaments. One of the coolest additions to the game has been blind boosters, packs that include one ship and a handful of Upgrades for use in a sealed/part-sealed tournament setting. Previous blind booster series brought us unique ships in “Resistance Is Futile” and “The Collective,” but now for 2016 WizKids has unleashed a whole new set that goes above and beyond anything we’ve seen before: the Reinforcements!

The Reinforcements blind booster set is comprised of 10 unique ships for 10 different factions in the game, and each ship features cool new looks with unique decos/paint jobs, translucent plastic, and/or metallic paints. This is a theme we’ve seen in recent expansion waves as WizKids differentiates new ships that continue to utilize existing sculpts, giving us new features for the battlefield and your fleets. The Reinforcements offer new ships for many of the popular factions: Bajoran, Dominion, Federation, Ferengi, Kazon, Klingon, Mirror Universe (Klingon ship), Romulan, Species 8472, and Vulcan, and they jump right out of memorable Star Trek episodes. In addition, the packs are streamlined so that you can quickly get to know their contents; each one comes with one unique captain and four Upgrade cards. Naturally each vessel works great with all of its included Upgrades loaded onto it, and they further expand your existing fleets with more options. So, let’s take a look at all of the Reinforcements ships!
