Starship Troopers (game)

This 1976 Avalon Hill game is based on Robert A. Heinlein's novel of the same name.

It used the conflict-zones of the book as a setting, without getting into anything beyond the strategy/tactics of warfare with the Powered Armor and other tech-items. It was one of Avalon Hill's entry-level games, meaning that each of its seven levels could be easily set up and played in under a couple of hours. For a stone strategy gamer it wasn't very satisfying. You had to practically try to lose, for the Bugs or Skinnies to come out the winner.
