BattleTech Anniversary Edition Gets New Expansion And Miniatures Packs

The long-running tabletop mech game BattleTech has spawned numerous video games, including MechWarrior, MechAssault, and 2018's BattleTech, but if you've ever wanted to get into the board game that started it all, now is the perfect time. The game recently celebrated its 40th birthday with a new 40th Anniversary Edition of the core box, and various new expansions have launched in the months since, including new mech minis, source books, and more. The latest new releases include the BattleTech: Mercenaries expansion and a bunch of standalone mech and vehicle minis to add to your tabletop sessions.

BattleTech Mercenaries

$75

The BattleTech: Mercenaries box includes eight BattleTech miniatures and four vehicle miniatures, plus a gameplay primer, rulebook, punch-out tokens, maps, pilot cards, Battlefield Support cards, and a premade campaign to play through. Note that this expansion requires the BattleTech: Game of Armored Combat 40th Anniversary Edition to play.
