Mech Brigade
Mech Brigade is a platoon level tactical simulation of armored warfare,
depicting a hypothetical battle between the forces of NATO and the Soviet
Union. The game may be played by up to 2 players (both of which may be human
or AI), who can either choose to play one of the 4 historical scenarios or may
elect to build their own scenario. NATO players may choose a nationality from
France, Great Britain, the United States, or West Germany. The game also has 5
handicap (difficulty) levels.
Gameplay consists of two phases, the orders phase, where player(s) give orders
to each individual unit under their control and the combat phase, where all
units carry out their orders one unit at a time. Units, although in majority
are armored vehicles, may also consist of attack helicopters, artillery, and
infantry. The game will automatically end after 15 turns (20 if there is an
assault battle being played). However a game may be ended earlier or continue
after it has ended if all sides agree. At the end of the game victory points
will be awarded which will determine whether the battle was a draw, marginal,
substantive, or decisive victory.
