2160. Beam technology, energy shields, and ground-skimming propulsion systems
have revolutionized ground combat into high-speed, wide-ranging battles. World
powers like the Pacific Combine and the European League spar and vie for
territory with Grav tanks, striders, and Leviathans. Take the role of a
commander overseeing one of these skirmishes and match your tactical wits with
the computer or another player.

Firezone translates pen-and-paper, tactical wargaming to the computer screen.
Your primary view is a hex battle map with up to seven different types of
terrain, showing stacks of infantry, artillery, armor, and command bases.
There is a structured turn sequence, with players alternating movement, fire,
and retaliation. The game stretches beyond a table-top wargame by allowing
hidden units and providing a map-editor with which to create your own
scenarios (nine are included).
