Starship Troopers

Simulation of conflicts between Terrans, the humanoid Skinnies, and the alien Arachnids, based on Robert A. Heinlein’s novel. Players command Mobile Infantry platoons in raids and assaults across alien worlds, using powered armor and advanced weapons against city defenses and underground hives. Arachnid players secretly map hive complexes and tunnels, move warrior and worker units underground, and create breach holes for surprise attacks. A programmed series of scenarios introduces the rules, from raids on Skinny cities to the assault on the Arachnid homeworld.
