Heh, nice.  Kinda like the story/explanation of how/why Romulans came to have Klingon battlecruisers in the one TOS episode, and for how Klingons obtained the Romulan cloaking device.

Target has an exclusive new Battletech Essentials box that's coming in June

https://www.target.com/p/catalyst-game-labs-battletech-essentials-board-game/-/A-88275088


It's only available thru Target, so maybe this is their attempt to grab a similar market to the D&D Essentials box?

It'll be interesting to see what - if any - add'l product line they decide to carry on top of this



and yes, don't ask stupid questions, of course I'm getting it.  Are you nuts?  ::)

My high school buddy Craig Gulledge was such a mainstay of the Battletech community that Catalyst Labs recognized his contributions many times. Best guy ever to have as a buddy.

He unfortunately passed away in March of last year. Catalyst added him as one of the pilots to the Northwinds Highlanders Command Lance. I grabbed my box when it first came available, but here's a reference in case anyone is interested in picking it up.

I remember you telling us about him last year; that was very cool of them to do that.

Thanks. Yeah, it took them a while - I think the Lance was just released a month or so ago. Then again I've no idea how long it takes to produce such things.

I don't play BT but I may look at this one too, at Target.

Ah Battletech minis, they have come out with descent amount of packs but have no one to play face to face. Been creating a campaign, well world in battle during the Ilclan error on TTS. Miss playing Battletech.
