BattleForce was originally created by FASA. As a wargame set in the BattleTech universe, designed to allow the simulation of larger-scale actions. Units typically represent lances, but there are provisions for allowing the counters to represent larger units/formations. Such as companies, battalions, and so forth.
The game allows wide use of units (vehicles, Battlemechs, air vehicles).
[edit] Revision and Revival
In 2006, Battletech was relaunched, revising and reprinting many its rule sets under the name of (Battletech: Total Warfare') rule set. Among these rules includes both versions of BattleForce. This will be a revisied & updated edition of BattleForce with its successor Battleforce 2. These have been intrigated into the these Total Warfare rule books. New units have been added to BattleForce game (including new units since added to Battletech since its launch, including example Large Naval Vessels). The game has been consolidation with AeroTech and Battlespace rules into the rulebook, Strategic Operations. While BattleForce's elements will appear in Interstellar Operations which will a component of large scale combat operations on interstellar scale (Solar System to Solar System vs planetary operation which BattleForce is originally conceived for).
