 Stellar Forces is a turn-based multi-player squad strategy game.
Take control of your elite squad to defeat your opponent in one of 30+ missions. Choose what to equip them with, where to deploy them, and what strategy and tactics to use to ensure your victory!
This game is completely free to play - all you need to do is register to play as many games as you want. You will also need to download the client.
This game is played in a relaxed way, like a PBEM. Once you have taken your turn, your opponent is notified by e-mail that it is now their turn. However, they may not take it straight away. Typically, expect to take a turn and then wait about a day to take your next turn. Of course, you can play as many concurrent games as you can handle if you get bored in the meantime!

It would be good if there was an epic mission with loads of units. Or maybe reinforcements?
New client v1.28 was released on the 30th July. See the main page for details.
I might reduce the number of aliens by 2 to make this a bit fairer.
Of course! I should have realised. Yes, I'll make that unavailable; otherwise if any player doesn't buy them they will be at a disadvantage, and if everyone buys them then it cancels it out.
The old tactic run as fast as you can...
I think monkey did something similar against me in our capture the flag game. I just equipped one of my units with adrenalyn shots and run. Maybe this item should not be available for this mission?
Yeah, good point. I assumed that the defenders wouldn't need that many units as the attackers might end up fighting each other, but that's not really the case. The defenders end up fighting on two fronts (and put up a poor fight in my case).
Yes I agree with you Monkey, it's difficult now for the defenders.
Good game anyway!
