Legions of Steel (1992)

About this game

The GameLegions of Steel is a fast paced miniatures combat game set in the not so distant future. Save humanity from a siege of mechanical horrors. Play an elite group of Commandos in high tech powered armour on their missions to destroy the base complexes of the Overlord computer. Meanwhile, your opponent maneuvers his horde of robotic minions commanded by ten feet of raw terror: the dreaded Mark I Assault Fiend. The RulesMechanics are simple. Only six sided dice are required to quickly resolve firefights, but you need more than luck to survive. With Blasters, Deadbolt Launchers, Kinetic Pulse grenades, and the Napalm-X Flame Weapon on the field of battle, tactical considerations are many. Before you out-fight your opponent, you must first out-think him.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.9/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
