About this deal

Fire Moth:The lightest included mech, the Fire Moth is astoundingly fast with fairly high damage, though it’s very fragile – with only one point each of armor and structure it’ll die to the lightest of hits. Like the first edition of the Beginner Box, this includes two fully assembled unpainted miniatures, cardboard standees to act as additional BattleMechs, one double-sided mapsheet, cardboard hex terrain meant to be used with the maps, the Quick-Start Rules for the game, color record sheets for several variants of the included BattleMechs, a set of MechWarrior cards, a short novella titled Golden Rule written by William H. This is a booklet of sample record sheets for the following products: A Game of Armored Combat box set, Beginner Box set, Clan Invasion box set. The molds and sculpts were revised from those used for the Classic BattleTech Introductory Box Set and 25th Anniversary Introductory Box Set. The Dark Age period represents a jump forward in time of some five decades from the end of the Word of Blake Jihad in 3081.

The CityTech box contained a slew of cutout counters for various tanks, infantry units and buildings, and two (identical) mapsheets that were different from the previous BattleTech mapsheets. These PDFs have everything you need to dive into the various ways in which you can enjoy the BattleTech universe at your gaming table. Further miniatures are being produced in BattleTech: Clan Invasion, published in 2020, along with related ForcePacks and Salvage Boxes. It’s nothing you can’t work around, and the mechs do look good, but I’d love to see these same original sculpts cast in higher quality.Coming from mostly GW starter boxes this is astounding to me, as it’s actually enough to play satisfying games. Included is the new Nightsky, a re-posed Wolfhound, and new variants of the Griffin and jumping Crusader, along with four MechWarrior pilot cards and four Alpha Strike cards!

It has produced four introductory box sets (published in 2007, 2011, 2014, and 2019), each including a set of plastic miniatures. They marshal MechWarriors who owe them fealty, each one the master of a towering avatar of destruction: the BattleMech. Beyond these free record sheets, players will find the full line of print record sheets that include a selection of units from a given Technical Readout, as well as PDF-only Unabridged record sheets with all the various units and variants. Collections of in-universe news articles and personal journals that paint a vivid picture of life in the mid-32nd century from just before the HPG blackout into the years of Fortress Republic. Weapon firing and damage were a simplified system that combined all weapons into a single attack roll against the equally singular armor rating of the target, forgoing hit locations in a fashion similar to the simplified combat in the later Alpha Strike ruleset.

To get extra variety out of these mechs, they all have quite a few more variants, all of which are available on the Master Unit List. A new booklet titled How the Core Rulebooks Work was added that sought to explain how different BattleTech rulesets interact and complement each other. Expanded background information for the setting, namely the Inner Sphere during the Succession Wars era around the year 3025, was found throughout the rulebook, mostly through sidebars. In 2022 CGL released a second edition of its BattleTech Beginner Box in connection with a variety of mercenary themed products. The Prime can overheat for astounding damage (tied for the most of any mech in the box), and the T does a little more damage on base without the ability to overheat.
