Whether wet-behind-the-ears recruits or grizzled veterans, mercenaries are the wild card that can tip the balance in combat. These MechWarriors run the razor's edge between immortality and destruction, and possess the elite skills and the right amount of luck to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. There are literally hundreds of mercenary outfits, found on nearly every battlefield across the Inner Sphere and beyond. Some are elite, multi-regiment combat commands with centuries-old legacies, while others are down-on-their-luck lances that scratch out a living on backwater worlds. Will you join an existing unit, or try to carve out your own place in the universe?
The Mercenaries box include 8 high-quality, fully assembled BattleMechs, along with 4 vehicles of the same quality. It also includes a primer on the BattleTech universe, rulebook, punch-out tokens, game maps, pilot cards, and Battlefield Support cards. Fully revised Battlefield Support rules offer quick and easy ways to bring the flavor of combined arms tactics vehicles, aerospace strikes, artillery and minefields to your tabletop, without slowing down the action. Finally, the box includes a campaign allowing you to build your own mercenary experience in any BattleTech Era.
The BattleTech: Mercenaries box is a supplement to the BattleTech: A Game of Armored Combat box, which is required to use this set.
