Renegade Legion: Centurion – Blood & Steel (1988)

About this game

An armored warfare battle game based on the Renegade Legion series from FASA from the Battletech (1st ed) era. Game play bears some similarity to Battletech. The unique part of the game is the damage system where different types of rounds penetrate the tanks' armor differently causing damage indicated by various shapes. The shapes are crossed off a few columns of boxes on the tank's vehicle sheet. Comes with hex paper board and cardboard tanks. The second edition replaced the fold up cardboard tanks with plastic miniatures. Expanded by: Renegade Legion: 2nd ACR Armored Cavalry Regiment Renegade Legion: Centurion – Harbingers of Death Renegade Legion: Centurion – Blood & Steel: Vehicle Briefing Renegade Legion: Centurion Technical Update

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 3.4/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
