==Description==
 
==Description==
Based on [[BattleTech, 2nd Edition]], '''BattleForce''' is a [[BattleTech]] boardgame that is set on a larger scale. Instead of individual vehicles, players control [[lance]]-sized units; the map scale and timescale per turn was enlarged accordingly.

{{quote|''As commander of a mixed-force regiment, your unit includes a number of BattleMechs, the most awesome weapon ever placed on a battlefield. You've also got every kind of tank, including tracked, wheeled and hovercraft. AeroSpace Fighters and DropShips make up your air support. Then, too, there are the troopers who will be the unsung heroes of your infantry.

You are up against a regiment of equal size. But that's all you know until you can get some recon units close enough to learn exactly what elements your foe has at his command and where they are.

As the forces close, you start getting some information from the front lines and the news isn't good. A unit of enemy light 'Mechs and hover tanks have drawn off your assault lance, and are now calling in artillery on them. Meanwhile, your main force is getting smashed by the rest of your opponent's might. Looks like it's going to be a long day.
