About the game
BattleForce is a board game created by the FASA Corporation and is part of the BattleTech universe.
It is wargame designed to allow the simulation of larger-scale actions. Units typically represent lances, but there are provisions for allowing the counters to represent larger units/formations, such as companies, battalions, and so forth.
Normal BattleTech game play usually is set up for small encounters (up to 12 units per side). Though large battles are possible using the normal games rules for BattleTech, playing the game can consume much time. BattleForce was designed to address this problem.
The game allows wide use of units (vehicles, Battlemechs, air vehicles, etc.).More from FASA
