Battlesuit (1983)

About this game

Pocket Box; cover art by Dave Martin. 21" x 32" green/brown map, four sheets of black/red/white two-sided counters, rulebook. This game is set in the Ogre/G.E.V. background, but is on a different scale, where each counter represents a single battle suited infantryman; it is not compatible. Related to the Game: Ogre / G.E.V.. Originally published as a magazine game in The Space Gamer (Issue 59 - Jan 1983) with misregistered counters. Replacement counters were provided in The Space Gamer (Issue 60 - Feb 1983).

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.4/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
