Solar Battles: Field of Mars

Solar Battles: Field of Mars is a wargame/boardgame hybrid for up to four players. Civil war has broken out on Mars and you have to decide which side you want to support: The loyalist Mars Defence Forces or the rebellious Mars Liberation Army and their respective allies. This war will not only decide the fate of planet Mars but the future of the whole solar system! SB-FoM is easy to play, but offers a great variety regarding the unit design. The unique, multi-level armour system combined with cover values depending on terrain makes combat very realistic and tactical. Each troop may carry two weapons, which makes them more flexible (but also more expensive). Besides the Martian forces with mirrored army lists, the four additional factions have their own design philosophy and can field units with meaningful differences and special abilities. Here are some of the most important features of the game: User friendly: logical and easy to learn rules plus a limited amount of special rules to remember Complex: many unit statistics which allow for a wide range of troop types All-in-one solution: the PDF comes with terrain and squad markers to print and build, you just need the dice (d6 and d12) to play Scalability: whether small skirmishes or large battles, if you need more material, you can simply print it Expandable: You don't like the standard factions and/or units? Just create your own! The game includes everything you need to create a whole army list from scratch and a formula to calculate balanced point values. There are almost no limits. The game includes both the English and German language version plus the calculation table for new units packed in a zip archive for a price of your choice! Take command and save Mars! —description from the publisher
