About the game
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. The Phoenix Command: Mechanized combines a detailed, accurate simulation of modern tank combat with quick, simple game mechanics to create a system that gives the player a fast playing game of unbeatable realism.
