Welcome to WeaselTech

WeaselTech is the newest release from Nordic Weasel Games.

Players take command of a unit of mecha pilots fighting swarms of smaller enemy mecha with the occasional elite enemy unit thrown in.  Drawing inspiration from BattleTech, RoboTech/Macross and a host of other anime, it's not just another mech combat game.  What sets it apart is the solo play campaign system which progresses the plot whilst simultaneously fleshing out the character interaction, providing the intra-unit rivalries, romances, love triangles and more that tend to wind their way through so many anime series.  As the campaign develops, your research more powerful mecha and improve the skills of your pilots and support staff.

After lots of dice-rolling, may I present Rampage Squadron.  This group of mercenaries are being deployed behind enemy lines in the midst of an interstellar war between opposing superpowers.  Hired by the Sentient Worlds Aliance as a "deniable asset", Rampage Squadron could be the key to ending their current shooting war with the Gentian Protectorates.  En-route to the Protectorates homeworld they are travelling on a modified combat transport loaded with their mecha and operating under false transponder codes that should get them past enemy defences.  A large scale assault on the enemy capital would be impossible to pull off but a small unit insertion might just be possible.

The core of the unit are the 6 mech pilots:

Rampage 1 - Gurda Losfol

Rampage 2 - Maria Travis

Rampage 3 - Roderick "Hot Rod" Davies

Rampage 4 - Avni Ahuje

Rampage 5 - Sagaritas Boops

Rampage 6 - Imani Oyinola

Aiding our pilots in their endeavours, we have their technical and suporting staff, headed up by 6 key personnel:

Commanding Officer - Kobar Fez

Communications Officer - Jesus Lopez

Intelligence Officer - Irene Dahl

Chief Mechanic - Adrik Volkov

Medical Officer - Sanjit Takawa

Head Researcher - Chastity Guliwe

Soem more die rolling and the links between characters start to appear:

• Comms officer Jesus and researcher Chastity attended the same military school.
• Rampage 3 "Hot Rod" and medic Sanjit served together prior to the current mission.
• Hot Rod and Chastity were previously romantically linked.

Some of the team rub each other up the wrong way.  As he passes her in the corridor, Rampage 3 Hot Rod's insensitive greeting to intel officer Irene as "green slime"* annoys her and she comments on his arrogance. His retort on how military intelligence is an oxymoron results in a fierce argument and the two become rivals.

Others get on better.  Meeting in the park before the transport leaves, Rampage 3 Maria and Rampage 6 Imani swap mecha tactics and stories and become good friends.  Meanwhile back on the ship whilst supervising the loading of their respective supplies, mechanic Adrik and medic Sanjit compare notes fixing mecha to fixing people and also become firm friends.

With their initial landing on Gentia, capital of the Gentian Protectorates now only hours away, who knows how our mercenaries will fare in their adventures...
