Asteroid Zero-Four

"Large numbers of missiles and spacecraft approaching from the Russian Asteroid. We MUST launch our interceptors NOW, Sir!" "No sense trying to look peaceful any longer. Go ahead and launch them, and you may as well get our strike forces off this rock before we get plastered!"

The premise of this two-player SF wargame is that the US and USSR have established competing well-armed mining operations in the asteroid belt when a period of massive solar flares makes manned space travel inside the orbit of Mars impossible. A nuclear war between the two mining bases then begins, featuring both missiles and spacecraft; the winning power will dominate mining operations in the belt (and Earth's manufacturing economy) for years to come.

Each player commands one of the two Asteroid Bases. A t his disposal are Missiles to bombard the enemy Base, and Laser Towers and Space Defense Missiles to defend his own Base. Manned Spacecraft can be used as defensive interceptors or to deliver nuclear weapons. Each warhead that impacts is calculated for yield, burst height and blast radius; resulting in damage to the various installations on the Asteroids. Engineer units on the Base can repair damaged systems, but are themselves vulnerable to nuclear and conventional explosions. The game presents players with a unique challenge — to keep the civilian mining systems operating in the midst of a nuclear war.

ASTEROID ZERO-FOUR is an action packed game for two players. Both must allocate their resources to produce the most devastating attack possible. Skill, cunning and a little bit of luck will bring you to ultimate victory. Introductory and Advanced scenarios. Playing time: 1 to 4 hours. Complexity level: Moderate.
