Iconic mech tactical combat at lance-on-lance scale (~4 mechs per side). Two players field BattleMechs, configure heat curves, and trade fire across hex-grid maps. The August 2026 Core Rulebook is the first new core rules in nearly two decades, with new Starter Box and Core Box launching simultaneously and a comprehensive Missions toolbox; existing mapsheets and minis remain compatible.
