The Embattled Trek (Classic Reprint)
 |
 |
Precis Intermedia brings back this classic board/miniatures game. Originally published in 1977 by Wee Warriors¸ The Embattled Trek was created during an era without today's advanced software and print services¸ making indie publishers of the time truly special. From out of the black void¸ two silent fleets deploy. They meet in battle to decide their disputed rights to a small but important section of the galaxy. As a captain aboard one of the armed fighting ships of the Confederated Planetary Systems¸ you stand ready with your top scientists¸ engineers¸ and crew to meet the finest of a newly-contacted Empire. Facing an enemy with more-powerful weapons at short range¸ it is your task to use the best advantages of your individual ships to negate those of the Empire. The Embattled Trek represents tactical level play of ship-to-ship combat between the forces of two space powers. Due to the novel combat system using subtractive percentages¸ the game cannot be counted as won until the last of the enemy ships is destroyed or disabled. And simultaneous plotted movement provides a clean-playing¸ fast game¸ where one mistake can cost you your fleet. Two sizes of counters are provided to allow for hex-map play or use in tabletop gaming. Three-dimensional ships may also be used with these rules. This piece of gaming history is a must for collectors¸ old school gamers¸ and those looking for a fast-playing starship combat game. With the original on the extremely rare list¸ this classic reprint of The Embattled Trek has been remastered for a clean print¸ and is readily available at a low cost. Requires a set of percentile dice and a six-sided die. Wee Warriors and The Embattled Trek are trademarks of Precis Intermedia. All rights reserved.
