CityTech is a FASA wargame first published in 1986 and set in the BattleTech fictional universe.
Gameplay
CityTech provided additional rules for simulating combat with infantry and vehicles rather than just BattleMechs, which were the focus of the original game.
Publication history
CityTech was the first official expansion to the BattleTech board game.
FASA published a second edition in 1994.
Reception
Scott Tanner reviewed CityTech in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer No. 78. Tanner commented that "It is in City Tech that infantry come into their full potential. Standing around in open country and getting slaughtered seems to be the poor infantryman's lot until City Tech came out."
Stephan Wieck reviewed Citytech in White Wolf #7 (1987), rating it an 8 out of 10 and stated that "The interior art of Citytech is rather poor, but the cover art done by Jim Holloway is very good. And, the counters and maps are of very high quality."
