Representing the Inner Sphere on the eve of the Second Succession War, this map is the best way to start your path to becoming the First Lord as war once more consumes the Inner Sphere.

Battlemaster-1G– 85 tons and carrying a profusion of different weapons. With it’s only long range firepower being a single PPC, the Battlemaster is all about close range engagements, with six Medium Lasers, two machine guns and an SRM-6. With potentially 32 heat from firing all weapons and only 18 heatsinks, you will very clearly have to manage heat on this mech, but you can mitigate this by planning ahead. Mech Variants The BattleTech: A Game of Armored Combat is a physical game box containing necessary pieces, papers and material to play the general tabletop version of BattleTech.

Movement phase: Each player, starting with the loser of initiative, can move their mechs. Mechs move a specific amount of hexes as either a walk, run, or jump. This tournament offers players the opportunity to wage honorable battle to be one of the 25 Bloodnamed warriors sharing in the legacy of one of the Clan’s founders. Genetically engineered and bred for centuries for honor and glory, Clan warriors lust for a Bloodname for years and many never make the cut. Can you win the Trial of Bloodright? Hit Location and Damage: Once all hits have been determined, you roll 2d6 for each hit to see where it lands on your target. For each hit, you mark off a number of circles on that location equal to the damage of a weapon. Once all the circles in a location are filled, that part of the mech is destroyed. If both legs, the torso, or the head are destroyed, the mech is turned to scrap. Combat is easy to jump in to in the Beginner Box. Game Experience:

GETTING STARTED: AS A BOARD GAME…

A Russian edition was published in 2020 by Hobby World as BattleTech: Настольная игра. [1] [2] Gallery [ edit ]

We’re taking a look at the three current boxed products (the Beginner Box, A Game of Armored Combat, and Clan Invasion), what’s included in each, and which ones you need to play. Table Notes: The column denoted "Parts" gives the number of parts for each miniature prior to assembly. (Certain miniatures came with detachable arms, torsos, and fins.)

I’m sure at this point you are asking, “Is this some subpar version of Battletech with rules so streamlined that it’s basically a kid’s game?” Definitely not as there is still plenty for players to sink their teeth into. Take missiles for example. If you fire off a cluster of 10 missiles at your opponent, you not only have to roll to see if you hit, but also roll to see how many hit, and also where they hit. I will say that without critical hits and heat to manage, the game does lose a bit of its tactical interest. This box doesn’t really get into things like terrain or elevation either. What that means is that after a few scenarios, you will probably start to get a little bored with what you have here. As your mech takes damage, you’ll mark off circles. Initially published over thirty years ago as a tabletop board game, BattleTech has gone on to become one of the gaming industry’s most important and longest-lasting science-fiction universes.

Mad Cat (Timber Wolf)– This is the poster child mech for the clans. The Mad Cat pairs two LRM-20s with two sets of ER Large and Medium Lasers. To complete the picture you’ve got a Medium Pulse Laser and two Machine Guns and 17 double heatsinks. This mech has a lot of long range firepower and armour, and is fast for a heavy mech as well. Importantly the core of the rules, movement, cover, GATOR (the process to work out what you need to roll to hit) and damage are all there making the transition to the full rules easier, as there is nothing to unlearn, just more detail to add in. Conclusion

Table Notes: The column denoted "Parts" gives the number of parts for each miniature prior to assembly. This article is about one specific product. For the series of game boxes that served as the core BattleTech product, and its iterations over time, see BattleTech boxed set. Battletech: A Game of Armoured Combat (AGoAC) is a true starter set, providing a bigger, fatter rulebook, 8 miniatures giving two complete Lances, and everything needed to play the game. You have full sized record sheets, points, the ‘full’ rules for mech combat, and even rules for designing your own mechs.
