Quick-Strike / Battleforce
« on: 04 January 2012, 16:01:40 »
I`ve downloaded the QSR from the Battletech website and it`s certainly caught my attention.  However, what are the main differences between Quick-Strike and Battleforce?

Scale.  Battleforce is more zoomed out.  Each piece on the board represents a whole lance, star, or level II.  The simplified stats allow for large-scale games to be played faster.

Quickstrike uses the simplified stats from Battleforce but it is at the same scale as good old battletech. One mini= one unit.
