Description[edit]
The successor to the original BattleTech Salvage Box, BattleTech Salvage Box: Mercenaries is a lucky-dip box containing one plastic BattleMech miniature for use in the classic BattleTech tabletop and Alpha Strike games. The box also provides one dry-erase card, which are intended to directly support Alpha Strike gameplay, and one new Pilot Card.
The Mercenaries Salvage Box was created as a part of the 2023 Mercenaries Crowdfunding Campaign. The miniature in each Salvage Box is determined randomly, although the Alpha Strike dry-erase card and Pilot Card match the BattleMech. Salvage boxes were available in the Kickstarter through three routes: those who backed the Kickstarter at a level that entitled them to receive lance or star packs and chose to receive a lance pack received one free Salvage Box per lance pack to ensure parity of 'Mechs; those who pledged at the Recruit tier or higher received one or more free Salvage Boxes as a part of their pledge; and Salvage Boxes could be purchased as Kickstarter add-ons for US$8 each.
Unlike the original Salvage Box Catalyst Game Labs has qualified upfront during the campaign that the contents of Mercenary Salvage Boxes will only draw from the 'Mechs in the BattleTech: Mercenaries box set as well as the five Inner Sphere ForcePacks and two Clan ForcePacks announced as part of the Mercenaries crowdfunding campaign for a total of thirty-eight options. The combat vehicles from the Mercenaries boxset, Battlefield Support boxes as well as unique miniatures from the Legendary MechWarriors II and III packs will not be included.[1][2]
When the first segment of distribution was delivered through QML, it was noticed that some of these salvage boxes contained a single vehicle figure instead of a Battlemech. Catalyst Games Labs Acknowledged this in an update on the kickstarter. [3] Working with Liya International their manufacturer, CGL relayed that an additional Salvage Box:Mercemaries will be provided as compensation to all backers whose orders have not been delivered thus far, and CGL will work with those who have already received their orders.
