'''''Star Wars Miniatures Battles''''' is a core rulebook produced to support the [[Star Wars Miniatures Battles|tabletop miniature wargame system]] produced by [[West End Games]] in [[1991]]. A [[Star Wars Miniatures Battles (Second Edition)|second edition version]] was published in [[1993]] to better integrate the game with the Second Edition rules of the ''[[Star Wars Roleplaying Game]]''. The first edition was winner of the Origins International Game Expo award for ''Best New Miniatures Rules'' of [[1991]]. The ''Star Wars Miniatures Battles'' core rulebook was written by [[Stephen Crane]] and [[Paul Murphy]], and published by West End Games in January [[1991]]. The rules included are for playing battles using the metal miniatures produced by [[West End Games]]. The stats included in the book can be easily converted to use with [[Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game]]. The rulebook was repackaged in a boxed set along with some miniatures as the ''[[Star Wars Miniatures Battles Starter Set]]''.

The rulebook contained three scenarios for playing the game; "[[Like Rats in a Trap]]," "[[Defending the Bridge]]," and "[[The Crystal Forest of Goratak]]."
