Phoenix Command: High Tech Weapon Data Supplement (Second Edition) is an expansion for Phoenix Command released in 1988 for 2–12 players. It was designed by Barry Nakazono and David McKenzie.
While primarily thought of as a combat system for Leading Edge's Rhand Morningstar Missions RPG, the original Phoenix Command rules were also intended to be used for man-to-man skirmish wargaming, either on the tabletop or a hex map. This is the second edition of the High-Tech Weapon Data Supplement, and features a number of new weapons, including Scatterpack Handguns and Backpack-fed Flechette Guns, as well as full data covering the improvement of the weapons over a period of 250 years. This supplement is an ideal companion for Heavy Metal, the Power Armor Supplement, and can be used with either Phoenix Command or Living Steel.
