With the resurgence of Battletech on the tabletop a new generation is getting on board with this classic game of giant stompy battle bots and with the mercenaries Kickstarter now running more suits, tanks, and flyers are being added to the tabletop. Combined arms are coming to the fore and the game is expanding in scope and player base. Are you interested in giving it a go? Warren has decided to dust off some skellybobs for the SCC 2023 and what started as a few minis for the occasional RPG has become an army of the damned.
