Homemade Combat dials with Battlesuit stats for miniatures. Figures are 15mm Khurasan War Force troops, with Steel Warrior D7 drones. Combat dials reflect reduced combat factors as damage accumulates, as well as heavy weapon possession and Shock status.
As the precious Baywatch tapes are loaded at the monorail station for evacuation a defending platoon awaits the enemy's advance from the southeast (email testing game).
Finished my first 15mm Battlesuit squad of 12 troopers. Terrain is from Heroscape. Game board is a cork-covered foam board from Michael's. Applied some random spray, and "Wa-la", instant inexpensive texture game board.

Overview

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).
