Catalyst Game Labs BattleTech: Aces Scouring Sands

BattleTech Aces: Scouring Sands

The Jade Falcon push to Terra for the IlClan Trial tore through many of the worlds of the Inner Sphere region known as the Hinterlands. Left behind and abandoned due to his clan's frantic dash, a remnant Jade Falcon Star Captain stands in the way of the nearby Alyina Mercantile League. The AML cannot abide this, and has sent out the call for enterprising mercenaries.

Answer that call, build your own force of BattleMechs, and take advantage of power pilot Edge Abilities. Command your force solo or cooperatively through the branching story campaign to discover how you'll shape this corner of the universe!
This BattleTech: Aces box is a supplement to the BattleTech: Alpha Strike box, which is required to use this set.

Key Features:

• BRANCHING CAMPAIGN SYSTEM: Command mercenary forces in a story-rich campaign of 22 interconnected scenarios set in the war-torn Hinterlands during the Jade Falcon retreat.
• COMPATIBLE WITH ALPHA STRIKE: Requires the BattleTech: Alpha Strike box set to play; integrates seamlessly with existing Alpha Strike rules and components.
