Based on the fantasy Lost Worlds game books (but incompatible with the Lost Worlds series). Each player uses a book and a stat sheet that represent their 'mech. By giving your opponent your book, and taking theirs, you get to see the actual first person view in the combat. Type: LCT-1S Locust Tonnage: 20 Tons Engine: 160 LTV Weapons: Medium Martell Laser Two Federated 2-Shot SRM Missile Systems Approaching speeds of 130 kph, your 'Mech is one of the fastest machines on the battlefield today. Few opponents, however, suspect that your Locust has a bigger bite than most. Yours is the 1S variant, with machine guns stripped out and replaced by a pair of hefty SRM 2 packs. Your next opponent has a nasty surprise waiting for him . . .
