Kickstarter campaign is LIVE!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/450703636/battletech-clan-invasion
In 3050, the true heirs of the lost Star League thunder forth from the depths of the far Periphery and carve deep into the quarreling Successor States. As the Clan juggernaut rolls across the coreward realms of the Inner Sphere, the House Lords scramble to shore up their defenses and devise some way to halt the invaders.
The Clan spear is aimed at the heart of human-occupied space. Do you possess the bold tactics and heroic courage to defeat warriors trained from birth to conquer? Or will you uphold Kerensky’s dream to cast aside the squabbling lords of the Inner Sphere and reignite the flame of the Star League?Hot on the heels of the wildly successful launch of two new boxed sets, the
BattleTech tabletop game comes to Kickstarter for the first time ever to unleash totally remodeled Clan and Inner Sphere ’Mechs on your gaming table. Utilizing the same process that modernized the nine BattleMechs found in those bestselling box sets, each ’Mech has been painstakingly re-imagined, holding to the spirit of their original design while embracing a modern aesthetic.
(Click on the images to enlarge.)The
Clan Invasion box set will add five popular Clan OmniMechs to your arsenal, including the seminal
Timber Wolf (Mad Cat). It will also include a bevy of support materials, the rules needed to play Clan technology, all new maps, and more.
Stretch goals will rapidly fill the ranks with more Clan and Inner Sphere ’Mechs boasting all-new looks. The
Clan Command Star expansion will include the devastating
Dire Wolf (Daishi) and the ever-popular
Shadow Cat, while the Clan Attack Star pack will contain the
Warhawk (Masakari) and
Nova Cat. Meanwhile, the Inner Sphere will take desperate action to try to stave off the invasion. The
Inner Sphere Command Lance pack will deploy the beloved
Marauder and
Archer, while the
Warhammer and
Phoenix Hawk will hot-drop from the
Inner Sphere Battle Lance pack. And there’s more to unlock on both sides!
Add-ons will include a plethora of exciting new
BattleTech merchandise, the latest rulebooks, sourcebooks, boxed sets, and more!

Clan Invasion Kickstarter on

Chaos Campaign: Succession Wars PDF to get a taste of campaign play using the new boxed sets!
Any able commander can win a single battle, but only true leaders with skill, guts, and vision can win a war. Do you have what it takes to change the course of the Succession Wars and add your name to the annals of history?
Building off of the BattleTech Beginner Box and BattleTech: A Game of Armored Combat, Chaos Campaign: Succession Wars provides rules for selecting a force and embarking on a planetary assault mini-campaign, as well as tools to create campaigns of your own.
The scenarios included with those boxed sets are intended as one-off battles with no impact on the next encounter. This module introduces Chaos Campaign play, which offers consequences between individual missions, a reason to chase down specific objectives while preserving your troops, and ways to improve your force as you progress.
