Battletech: A game of Armored Combat
BattleTech is a wargaming and military science fiction franchise launched by FASA Corporation in 1984.
At its most basic, the boardgames of BattleTech are played on a map sheet composed of hexagonal terrain tiles.
The combat units are roughly 12-meter-tall (39 ft) humanoid armored combat units called BattleMechs, powered by
fusion reactors and armed with a variety of weapons. Typically, these are represented on the game board by
two-inch-tall miniature figurines that the players can paint to their own specifications.
