Join me as I take a look at Encounters: BattleTech (Review)

About Encounters: BattleTech, from BoardGameGeek:

It is the thirty-first century. For generations, the Great Houses of the Inner Sphere have been at war, squabbling over the scraps of the long-dead Star League. Centuries of fighting have led to the formation of countless mercenary commands willing to take on the tough missions that the Successor States can't-or wont'-take on themselves. These mercenary commands live and die by two things: the almighty C-bill and their reputation among their employers that they have what it takes to get the job done. Encounters: BattleTech is a fast-paced, push-your-luck dice and card game. Players act as mercenary commanders taking on contracts for the Great Houses. Defeating the enemies set to stop them earns C-bills to spend on the equipment needed to keep their unit afloat. If they defeat enough enemies, they'll complete their contract and gain the hard-earned reputation that all mercenaries seek. -description from the back of the box
