Core Rulebook Demo Part 1 - Battlefield Support, Urban Combat, Missions, and Changes

Watch “Core Rulebook Demo Part 1 - Battlefield Support, Urban Combat, Missions, and Changes,” a how-to-play guide on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by GCZ Gaming on YouTube:

With the Core Rulebook in hand, I see if I can bite off more than I can chew by playing a game of BattleTech with almost all of the new stuff that's included! I build a force using the Missions chapter, include both Battlefield Support Assets and Battlefield Support Aerospace, use a map that will bring in a lot of the new Urban Combat rules, and go out of my way to bring as many rules changes as possible to the forefront. Yes, I like to make things difficult!
