Battletech Bootcamp
Bootcamp is designed primarily for players new to Battletech, or those needing a refresher
on the sequence of play. Players will learn the basic rules for moving, firing, and resolving
damage in a quick, fun game against an opponent. Bootcamp is run concurrently with
Battletech Grinder, and upon completion of Bootcamp, players join directly into the Grinder
game. A typical Bootcamp session runs 30-45 minutes and can accommodate up to four
players, with new session starting after the completion of the prior one. All materials are
provided.
Battletech Grinder
Battletech Grinder is a progressive free-for-all Battlemech combat, designed to transition
players from the introductory rules and technology of the Bootcamp scenario to the full
scope and technology of the Battletech Total Warfare Core rule set. Players begin with a
light Battlemech, equipped with the most basic weapons. When that unit is destroyed in
combat, the player re-enters the Grinder with a more powerful Battlemech equipped with
more advanced weapons and new equipment, and this continues until the player commands
the most advanced and deadly units in the game. This allows for the teaching of the rule
set in a stepped fashion. Players can play as long as they wish, leave, and return during
the scheduled event listing if they wish due to the continuous nature of the Grinder. Players
who have not played before should complete the Battletech Bootcamp prior to entering into
the Grinder. Grinder can accommodate from 2 to 14 players. All materials are provided.
