This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

BattleTech Alpha Strike. 



It is the mass combat system for the complex BattleTech board wargame.  Instead of 4vs4 ‘mechs with all kinds of stats, Alpha Strike simplified the game so you have about 4-5 stats that all fit on a playing card.  You can have a lot more units, or keep it small and play a game in a reasonably quick time. 

Even my kindergarten aged son can play.

I’m glad for you if you like the top selling game of the genre.  Me, I like the road less travelled, and will be the player asking we try a game you’ve never heard of.
