@Ric … can't tell you "for sure" since I do not own them, but I recall an earlier thread somewhere that said BFEVO rules were nearly identical to SST. A few tweakes here and there, but nothing major.

The stripped down basic rules are available as a free download, so if you have SST rules you could always compare those two. No, the basic rules won't have everything, but the core bits that make up a turn should be there, so you should be able to tell if anything major has been changed.

The latest sets for Battlefield Evolution have now hit the streets, bringing some much needed reinforcements for the four superpowers fighting for supremacy in tomorrow's world.

SAS Section

SAS Patrol

The most famed and renowned special forces unit comes to Battlefield Evolution! This SAS section contains some of the toughest and most capable soldiers to take to the battlefield.

Each fire team is equipped with a Minimi Para MG (swappable for a Barrett M109 sniper rifle), while every other section member has an M416 with underslung grenade launcher. Once dug into cover, the SAS section is almost impossible to root out, while their Stealthy special rule will allow them to simply bypass many enemies on their way to an objective. Furthermore, the SAS are masters of well-timed ambushes, and can lie hidden on the tabletop for the perfect moment to unleash a devastating attack. There is no finer unit of infantry in the game.

This box set contains an eight-man SAS section, complete with two extra M109 sniper rifle-equipped soldiers to fulfil all possible unit options.

USMC Force Recon Patrol

The special-operations force of the U.S.M.C., this squad is highly specialised yet capable of handling a wide variety of missions. Equipped with the Land Warrior combat suite, the Force Recon Team combines the finest hardware with the best training in the U.S. Military. Armed with SCAR-L assault rifles (with underslung grenade launchers) and Mk46 MOD 1 MG, there are few infantry forces that can withstand an attack by Force Recon.

This box set contains a complete Force Recon Team.

MEA S26 Tunguska

MEA Tunguska

Purchased from the former Soviet Union, the Tunguska provides a serious frontline anti-aircraft capability for the MEA. Typically used by government-led forces of the Middle Eastern Alliance, rather than militia groups, the Tunguska requires a great deal of specialised skill to maintain and operate effectively.

In battle, the Tunguska provides a comprehensive umbrella against air attack, with a combination of cannon and missiles. However, it is more commonly used in anti-infantry roles, where the heavy weight of firepower from its cannon are supremely capable of annihilating or suppressing hordes of troops, be they in the open or within cover.

PLA Command Squad & NORINCO FAV

The Command Squad is a strong component for any PLA force, with its officer keeping a careful eye on the battlefield, formulating tactics on the fly. His presence can mean the defeat for an enemy with a more ragged command structure, and a Command Squad as a whole acts as a useful force multiplier.

The NORINCO FAV grants the PLA a fast-moving strike capability, for it can cover rough ground quickly and yet packs enough firepower to deal with both light vehicles and aircraft. The combination of both MG and 23mm cannon gives this light vehicle a strong punch that can defeat other light vehicles or root infantry out of cover as desired.

This box set contains one PLA Command Squad and one FAV.
