Watch “BattleTech: Aces Scouring Sands Review/Final Thoughts | Part 1 - Value and Being the "Next Step" Box,” a board game review on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by GCZ Gaming on YouTube:
After months of playing BattleTech: Aces nonstop, I feel like I can give my final thoughts! This first video will be more of a product review, discussing the box's overall value, component quality, and how it stacks up as the new "next step" box for Alpha Strike.
I will have two follow up videos where go into detail on my likes and dislikes for both the campaign and the Aces System. I decided to separate these so I'm not rambling on about my personal thoughts when people just want to know if the box is worth it. 😂

About BattleTech: Aces – Scouring Sands, from BoardGameGeek:
The Jade Falcon push to Terra for the ilClan trial tore through many worlds of the Inner Sphere region known as the Hinterlands. Left behind and abandoned due to his clans frantic dash, a remnant Jade Falcon Star Captain stands in the way of the nearby Alynia Mercantile League. The AML cannot abide this, and has sent out the call for enterprising mercenaries. Answer that call, build your own force of BattleMechs, and take advantage of powerful pilot Edge Abilities. Command your force solo or cooperatively through the branching story campaign to discover how youll shape this corner of the universe! Includes 9 premium miniatures, no assembly required. Contains 70 all-new Aces AI cards for solo and cooperative play!
