The Warriors of Batak (1982)

About this game

This game is one of a series of unique science fiction battle games in the Pocket Line from Task Force Games. The situation is: A small contingent of Confederation forces hold off an alien invasion by the Bataki strike forces. Victory is achieved by holding strategic points on the map. There is a nice mix of forces in the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 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.
