“ | LET THE GAMES BEGIN
Strap into your BattleMech's cockpit and charge into the most important fight of your life! Soldiers from across the Inner Sphere are drawn to the Game World of Solaris VII, where they seek glory, fame, and fortune in live-fire arena combat before rotating back to their empires' fields of battle. Yet only the best and most aggressive gladiators will succeed. Will you duel your way to the top of the leaderboards and be immortalized for all time, or will go down in flames to the sound of thunderous applause? BattleTech is the world's greatest armored combat game, filled with epic stories and gaming experiences to satisfy any player, from miniatures to RPG play, hobby painting to fiction and beyond. BattleTech: Essentials is a first step on that fantastic journey, and includes everything you need to get started: two high-quality miniatures, quick-start rules, a mapsheet, cards to represent your MechWarrior's unique skills, dice, and more. Do you have what it takes to conquer the arenas of the Game World and become a legend? Leap into the action and find out!'" |
