Just a note that you can now purchase the standalone version of the Battletech Quick-Strike miniatures rules as a downloadable PDF for fifteen US dollars. It will also be released as a hardback book later but the cost will be three times as much so I grabbed mine now here:

At a glance, the quick-strike rules seem to be intact, but there's a whole lot of meat around the bones to add all the non-mech elements of 31st century warfare into the mix and run a campaign. Lots of eye candy too. For a more detailed coverage head over to
Itinerant Hobbyist's blog. He seems to have an in depth tutorial running.
Thanks for the shoutout!
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of chrome in these rules for people to make t as complicated a they want.
Yeah, all the aerospace stuff takes quite a bit of space and I'm not sure how many people will use them, but I suppose they had pages to spare :)
DeleteIf you ever get chance to play test this let us know.

Hi! Where do you live? I live in Kuopio and I'm going to Tampere for Warcon this autumn so there's a couple of options to get this on the table. I have a bunch of BT mini's to play with but no sci-fi terrain yet. I'm working on that though :)
DeleteWhen this Warcon is (ok, google is out there but I found only 2012...). I have some 6 mm terrain like this:

+ something generic to 6-15 mm.
And my location is Seinäjoki at least now.
