Description

As you and your crew are finishing the final checks of your newly printed Frames, the voice of your Union contact crackles over the PA system. “Listen up, Lancers. Four hours ago, our paratroopers and light Frames landed all across this godforsaken state. You know the drill – strike hard, strike fast. We need to link up with our forces 700km west of home base, and Union Intelligence reckons you got 72 hours before they either run out of supplies or are over-run”. It’s never an easy mission when Union are involved…

Set in a post-scarcity future where mankind has mastered the stars, all of humanity is supposed to be living under one banner, that of the egalitarian Union. However, in the outer rims of the galaxy, life isn’t quite that easy. Lancer is a sci-fi Mech game with a mix of narrative and rules-based mechanics. Choose from pre-designed mechs, create your ace pilot, and decide your allies and enemies before heading into the heat of battle!

This is designed to be a combat heavy game, with narrative elements between battles.
