Catalyst Game Labs and Army Painter are releasing a paint starter set aimed specifically at battletech. They sent us a copy to review, and Perigrin has given them a go.

Today in Battletech Perigrin is covering Alpha Strike Special Pilot Abilities, bonuses that your force can gain depending on composition.

Along with the prelaunch page for the Battletech Mercenaries kickstarter, Catalyst have released a set of beta rules for using vehicles as battlefield support assets. Perigrin runs through how they work and his opinions.
