This essential BattleTech expansion dives deep into the dangerous and unpredictable world of mercenaries. From storied regiments with centuries of glory to desperate lances fighting for their next paycheck, this book captures the grit, honor, and peril of life on contract. Whether you want to join an established unit or forge your own legacy among the stars, this sourcebook provides everything you need to bring the mercenary experience to life on the tabletop.

Whether wet-behind-the-ears recruits or grizzled veterans, mercenaries are the wild card that can tip the balance in combat. These MechWarriors run the razor's edge between immortality and destruction, and possess the elite skills  and the right amount of luck to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. There are literally hundreds of mercenary outfits, found on nearly every battlefield across the Inner Sphere and beyond. Some are elite, multi-regiment combat commands with centuries-old legacies, while others are down-on-their-luck lances that scratch out a living on backwater worlds. Will you join an existing unit, or try to carve out your own place in the universe?

An expansion for the BattleTech: A Game of Armored Combat boxset, BattleTech: Mercenaries is a physical game box containing pieces, papers, and material to expand BattleTech play with extensive options for combined arms warfare - combat vehicles, aerospace fighters, artillery and minefields.
