BattleTech: Battleforce (1987)

About this game

A small unit module for the Battle Tech universe. Each "stand" represents 4 'mechs, each hex 180 meters, and each turn 1 minute. Combat is both ranges and close, and damage is determined by CRT. Damage is taken in "steps", each unit generally having 4 steps. Exact unit compositions are hidden until sighted. Rules are included for creating custom units using BattleTech constructed 'mechs.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 20.
• Rules load. At 3.2/5 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.
