Gameplay
Mech Brigade is a computer wargame that simulates a hypothetical conflict between NATO and the nations of the Warsaw Pact.
Development
Mech Brigade was designed by Gary Grigsby. It serves as a follow-up to his title Kampfgruppe, a World War II simulation. Mech Brigade was designed to bring the system into a modern warfare context. He launched both games in 1985, the same year he debuted U.S.A.A.F. - United States Army Air Force.
Reception
Author Rusel DeMaria later reported that Mech Brigade was "superior in design but inferior in sales" to Kampfgruppe.
Jay Selover reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "The addition of anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM's), combat helicopters, and all the other trappings of modern combat make Mech Brigade a much more dangerous place to take a Sunday stroll." In Antic, Dr. John Stanoch opined that Mech Brigade is "certainly not a game for beginners".
