Watch “How to Create Your Mercenaries Force! | BattleTech Chaos Campaign/Hinterlands Tutorial Part 1,” a how-to-play guide on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by GCZ Gaming on YouTube:
I walk through how to set up your mercenary company using the BattleTech Hot Spots Hinterlands/Chaos Campaign: Mercenaries system - setting your Scale, units, skills, reputation, and warchest. I cover optional rules that adjust how the came will play (Classic BattleTech vs. Alpha Strike, Battlefield Support vs. Total Warfare, higher Scales, etc.) and of course, give my unending opinion on the book itself, how confusing it can be, the endless errata, and the push for more Battlefield Support Assets.
This is the first setup video for my Thor's Wrath campaign.
Setting: Succession Wars era (Chaos Campaign: Mercenaries)
Rules: Total Warfare (Classic BattleTech)
