How to Get Your First Mercenary Contract! | BattleTech Chaos Campaign/Hinterlands Tutorial Part 2

Watch “How to Get Your First Mercenary Contract! | BattleTech Chaos Campaign/Hinterlands Tutorial Part 2,” a how-to-play guide on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by GCZ Gaming on YouTube:

We have a force - now it's time to find a contract! I walk through contract terms and how they work in the BattleTech Hot Spots Hinterlands/Chaos Campaign: Mercenaries system - base pay, transportation costs, support, salvage, and command rights. I also explain how to select a contract, either by selecting one of the pre-written hot spots, or by generating your own with the Dobless Information Systems random tables. This is the first setup video for my Thor's Wrath campaign. Setting: Succession Wars era (Chaos Campaign: Mercenaries) Rules: Total Warfare (Classic BattleTech) First Track: https://youtu.be/8jYvj01ECYo Full series playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLp78K5Bphjn5EcW05h_KnUh0W5z1jPM2C If you'd like to use the same spreadsheet I showed here, I have it available on my Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bkWr2dhhs8J2AUvc-tH7V7ZwWWYvP-yN?usp=sharing Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:15 The Good and the Confusing 02:51 Force Review 05:19 Contracts Overview 07:45 Contract Terms - Base Pay 11:14 Contract Terms - Combat Pay 13:34 Contract Terms - Transportation 15:40 Contract Terms - Support 20:49 Contract Terms - Salvage 23:46 Contract Terms - Command Rights 26:19 Negotiating Terms 30:55 Finding a Contract 33:31 Campaign Flow 34:53 Generating Random Contracts 43:14 Warchest Logging 46:20 Random Opposing Forces 47:26 Negotiating My Contract 48:39 Ready to Play! #battletech #battletechaces #wargaming #soloboardgames #campaigngameplay #campaigngaming #hinterlands #boardgametutorial
