Page "Laser Squad" Paragraph 2

Laser Squad is a turn-based tactics war game where the player completes objectives such as rescue or retrieval operations, or simply eliminating all of the enemy, by maneuvering the squad's team members around a map one at a time, taking actions such as move, turn, shoot, pick up and so on that would use up the unit's action points.

By taking advantage of cover, squad level military tactics, and careful use of weaponry, the cunning player could complete their objectives before their opponent.

More heavily laden units would tire more easily, and would have to rest to avoid running out of action points more quickly in subsequent turns.

Morale also played a factor ; a unit witnessing the deaths of all his teammates could panic and run out of the player's control.
