Aug 31, 2022

Catalyst Game Labs will be releasing a mercenary edition of their popular Battletech Beginner Box. The boxed set includes two mech miniatures and everything you’ll need to dip your toes into the science fiction game. The box is for two players, ages 14+, plays in around 120 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $24.99 when it arrives on September 21st.

About the game:

The commline abuzz with pre-battle orders. The pounding rhythm of a metal titan on the prowl. The shifting glow of your BattleMech’s controls spread before you. Then the abrupt tone-lock of incoming fire wails in your cockpit as missiles, autocannon shells, and lasers fall like Thor’s hammer against your armor. Seize your ‘Mech’s controls, draw its weapons into line, and unleash a hellish response!

BattleTech is the world’s greatest armored-combat game, filled with a myriad of epic stores and gaming experiences to satiate any player: miniatures to RPG play, hobby painting to fiction, and beyond. The BattleTech Beginner Box is the first step on that fantastic journey and includes everything you need to get started: two high-quality miniatures, quick-stat rules, a map sheet, cards to represent your MechWarrior’s unique skills, dice, and more. Do you have what it takes to plant the banner of victory and become a legend? Leap into the action and find out!

In this introduction to the BattleTech game and universe, players each take control of one giant walking war machine (a BattleMech, aka ‘Mech) and battle until one is destroyed or until the scenario objectives being played are completed.
