Battletech Essentials - My Review
It truly is the Golden Age of Battletech. We have so many new products coming out, not to mention the exceptionally successful Mercenaries Kickstarter. One of the newest products to come out is Battletech Essentials. Battletech Essentials, from Catalyst Game Labs is a new starter set, with an MSRP of $25. The boxed set incudes: Quick-Start Rules booklet 2 high-quality (unpainted) fully assembled Miniatures. Punchboard, including additional playing pieces as well as terrain 18" x 12: full color, double-sided game map Instant Guide to the Inner Sphere 24 page novella 4 'Mech record sheets 4 MechWarrior cards Solaris VII Arena Map Sheet Rules 2 six-sided dice The Good: For me, I like the focus on Solaris VII, the gaming world.
