Beamstrike was made by Don Clarke and Neil Cooper.

[edit] Gameplay

The miniature game is a set of fast paced, simple, science fiction war-game rules for tabletop battles using 15mm model miniature figures. A wide range of armoured vehicles can be fielded, from Tanks, to Walkers and Mecha. Rules for alien races, including generic "bugs" and "greys", add interest, and full rules allowing robots and androids complete the sci-fi repertoire.

Beamstrike is not a strict war game as weapon ranges are compressed heavily to accommodate an army on a table of manageable size, comprehensive rules regarding chain of command and communications between various levels of command are largely ignored, and force organization plus structure are flexible.
