This will be an afternoon dedicated to casual play in the universe of Battletech and will be appropriate for both new and established players!
Battletech is the science-fiction miniatures game where players control towering robotic constructs, called battlemechs, that weigh anywhere from 20 to 100 tons and combine tons of armour plating with a bristling array of myriad weapon systems.
