Battletech: Alpha Strike
$140
In BattleTech: Alpha Strike, themed around the Clan Invasion, each BattleMech (or other game unit) is represented using a series of Unit Cards, which are highly abstracted derivations of the respective Record Sheet for each unit in “classic” BattleTech.
As with “classic” BattleTech, a player’s goal is to use his force to achieve his objectives, which generally involves the defeat or destruction of opposing forces. However, the game’s use of BattleForce Unit Cards and rule options allow it to play at a much faster (though less intricately detailed) level of play than “classic” BattleTech. Complete with sample armies and a ready-to-play campaign system, all you need besides this book are dice, miniatures, and tabletop terrain to fight for control over the Inner Sphere on land, sea, and air – one world at a time!
