Action Cards
Are the Action Cards necessary to play the game? - No, not at
all. The game works very nicely without the using ANY of the cards. If
anything, it speeds up the game a bit and becomes a more traditional
mecha battle boardgame. However, your mech designs become much more
important. They're totally dependant on how they're built as there is
nothing to "power-up" your mecha during the game. Personally, I'd leave
the cards in their box if you're running a large battle of over a dozen
mechs.
Can a TACTICS Action Card be used to
counter another TACTICS Action Card? - Yes, which then can be
countered by another TACTICS Action Card. It is a bit CCG, but if you don't like
that mechanic, simply change the rules.
Maps
Where do I get those cool paper hex maps?
- At this point: online auction sites. It will be
hit-or-miss as the classic Battletech maps are out of production.
Miniatures
Are miniatures required? - No. Use
whatever is convenient to represent your mecha, but make sure that the front of the mech is
readily discernable so everyone knows which way it's facing and what
firing arc
is where.
