GETTING STARTED: AS A TABLETOP MINIATURES GAME…
Alpha Strike is the new, streamlined and fastplaying rules for BattleTech. Developed for the modern tabletop miniatures wargamer, these rules take an entire evening of board-game BattleTech and condense it down to an hour, while retaining all the great flavor of giant BattleMechs clashing across alien worlds. There’s even a free, online database—the Master Unit List—where you can build forces and print out Unit Cards that go well beyond the available Alpha Strike Lance Packs! You can also use any of your miniatures—whether Ral Partha, Iron Wind Metals or MechWarrior: Dark Age—to leap right into the action!

- BattleTech is a science-fiction “space opera”: a factional, militarized universe set in the thirty-first century, a future where humanity has spread to the stars and spawned titanic interstellar empires, each nation controlling hundreds of worlds across a region of space stretching a thousand light years and beyond.
Initially published over thirty years ago as a tabletop board game, BattleTech has gone on to become one of the gaming industry’s most important and longest-lasting science-fiction universes.
