Dig, Defend, or Die was a World Wide Event created by the Catalyst Demo Team. It consisted of boardgame and roleplaying scenarios that were played out in a worldwide series of events under the supervision of the Agents during the Summer of 2018. The scenario packs were subsequently made available for free download in PDF format, as two separate files. One file covered classic BattleTech (boardgame) and Alpha Strike scenarios while the other covered the accompanying roleplaying scenario for the A Time of War ruleset.
This is was second World Wide Scenario produced for Battletech since Operation Kabutomushi in 2008 ("Historical Events" in the following years notwithstanding).
Product Overview
Stotzing was not an easy planet to settle. The first colony, Eisenstadt, failed after less than a decade and its location was lost to historians for almost five centuries. The final throes of The Jihad caused the announcement of the discovery to be relegated to the small number of archaeologists and historians interested in lost colonies. But there was one other group that caught wind of this discovery—the Green Ghosts
Dig Defend or Die was the 2018 BattleTech World Wide Event depicting the clash between the Green Ghosts and the First Marik Defenders. Includes the Total Warfare and Alpha Strike scenario as well as the final results of the event.
