Paper 'Mech

A solitaire game about piloting a lone combat 'mech against four waves of attackers. Each action has a time cost, and players choose when to move, attack, repair, or respond to threats as enemies follow their own timing. Attacks use dice based on weapon power, with results compared against enemy armor; hastily executed attacks take less time but are less accurate. Damage reduces the 'mech’s performance, while repairs are available between waves. Players equip the 'mech with weapons and additional armor, balancing protection against weight, since exceeding the limit slows all actions.
