Owned this right out of the box, one of my brothers all time favs! It is one of the best strategy games for it's time; the mech ground combat was intense especially with incoming long range missiles! They compare it to Risk the board game but it has a 4X feel to it but not so hard that you'll pull your hair out like other games in the 4X genre. Definitely a hidden gem and no connoisseur of 4X games should be without it! Did I mention it has MECH COMBAT?!
Still one of the best games ever made in combining turn-based empire building with real-time strategic combat. Fighting could be cheesed at times, but even that required strategy and planning to pull off, or prevent.

I was introduced to this game in elementary school by a friend and played it extensively on my 386 PC whenever I could. The combination of turn-based 4X-style gameplay and real-time topdown mech combat is an excellent combination. I remember many a hard victory during city fighting using the buildings to flank and attack from the rear with light mechs, or sending barrages of LRMs through streets and alleyways, carefully guiding them past buildings and walls. It has a lot of replayablility with different strategies and tactics to use, as well as multiplayer via hotseat.
