BattleTech A Game of Armored Combat 40th Edition Game by Catalyst Game Labs | Sci Fi Miniatures Wargame Starter Set with Tactical Mech Combat Maps Dice Rulebooks Terrain and RPG Inspired Strategy

It’s Battletech. Do I need to say more? Amazing game that deleted us all in the 80’s and continues to be awesome to play. Yeah, it’s for us old dudes but it is also for all you younger gamers. Battletech is a great system with amazing lore and content. They have streamlined it with Alpha Strike and continue to maintain Classic Battletech. Check out all of the systems as well as the support material. This boxed set is great. I have all the other boxed sets and still got this. The quality of the miniatures and the material is great. You can be playing matches in minutes. Tons of fun if you want a short match or can have grand battles that take hours and hours. The choice is yours!

Comes with 8 minis that make two fun teams of 4. The 8 minis alone are a good quality and are worth the cost of the box on its own. The rules are long but detail everything you need to know. Just understand the writing is very 90s early 2000s rulebooks. If you are not getting the answer you are looking for. Do a search online. I have always found a post where someone gives the page number. I played a couple moch games on my own to learn the rules. Then was able to teach my friend while we were under the influence. After about 4 rounds we were playing at a good pace. Our second match, we were both sober and played just as quick with almost issue remembering the game as it is pretty basic. Lots and lots of simple rules. This allowed us to play as strategic or as caveman as we like. I love it already. The big thing to think about is time. I recommend about 5 hours if you want to play a game to finish. Otherwise, set yourself a goal. Example: the player who has the least amount of tonnage on the field at the end loses. If you need a winner. This box comes with alpha strike cards for that version of the game. The rulebook in this box tells you the website for the official downloads. Every boxset has a download for the printable character sheets to play with these rules. So you can go back and forth if you want to try both games. As a hint, the quickplay rules for alphastrike are a free download on the official site. Those are the same as you get in the alphastrike box. You can try that version of the game with these minis and cards without buying the other box. Though i bet you will. Have fun. Age: if you are playing with your kid. Id recommend the age where they are learning basic math. Counting and addition subtraction. The beginner box gives you a cut down version of this game. If you look it up online, you can play that version with this boxset too.

Awesome product, fast shipping, nice quality, value for money and fun to play

This is a fantastic game and deserves more recognition than it gets. This set is everything you need to get an Inner Sphere game going, the rule book is detailed and thorough, and the mini's are very high quality! For the price, this is a great option to get into Battletech Table Top, although if you are brand new to the game and aren't sure about trying it, I would recommend starting with a smaller beginner/introduction set. Get this set next though, it builds on the foundations perfectly.

Awesome product everything arrived as it should no damage etc

This starter box gives you everything and more, maps, scenarios, extra cardboard minis because why not ? All game rules, datasheets and a blank datasheet to make your own mechs, cheat sheets to help you, lore books and primers for the tabletop game universe! While Alpha strike gives you more plastic minis, for both classic and alpha strike type of game, i think this box is better :) To people from Brazil interested in this box, i bought it and arrived in perfect conditions and it was about 550 R$ at the time C

Great quality, well made. Even the boxes are very well made.

This bundle came with the 8 mechs, two multileveled (but flat) maps, and the rules. The mechs are really fun to use, and have managed to already secure a couple of kills in games at the card shop. I would highly recommend this for someone starting out, as most of the mechs are pretty good to start with. 10/10.
