Watch “Is the Aces system better than "good enough"? | BattleTech: Aces Scouring Sands Review Part 2,” 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 second video discusses the Aces system that controls the enemy units. I walk through how easy it is to learn and use during a game, how much time it adds, what kind of challenge it gives the players, and how it adapts to all of the different mission types in the campaign.
I'll have a final video where I review the campaign system and the campaign story and missions!

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!
