Reception
[edit]In the July–August 1984 edition of Space Gamer (No. 70), Craig Sheeley gave a strong recommendation, saying, "Buy Beltstrike. Where Tarsus was understandably limited, Beltstrike has information applicable anywhere men and aliens mine asteroids."[2] Sheeley [2]
In the January–February 1985 edition of Different Worlds (Issue #38), Tony Watson gave this book an average 2.5 stars out of 4, and pointed out that issues were not with the content but with the formatting and booklet size used, as well with as the high price charged. He concluded, "As usual. GDW has produced an attractive and well-written play-aid for Traveller; it is unfortunate that in this case that play-aid is inappropriately formatted and certainly too expensive."[3]
