    the very best "opening the box" review of catalyst products. I look forward to more.

      Will be doing more as product comes out. Fortunately a lot coming down the pipeline this summer and fall.

    Great overview. Definitely agree with all of your mech assessments. Wish the Griffin was available outside of the Beginner Box, but I'd still buy a second copy of Beginner Box but that would make three Wolverines....which, in itself, isn't a bad thing. Keep it up and looking forward to the next one.

      Yeah compared to a metal one its worth getting a beginner box and I'm generally able to figure out what to do with the wolverines. Honestly though I wish agoac came with a vindicator rather than a second wolverine.

      @@kathilmechworks4895 1000% agree with the Vindicator. I always thought it was weird that they added a second Wolverine to the initial release.

    Hello 👋 Really great video Kathil. If may i ask, is Battletech available for newcommers into the wargaming? I have friends, who told me Godtear is more available, but Battletech looks more, more much awesome.

    While it's a bit dated now April of '23 still great info. I really hope you have done one for the Clans & it would have been nice if you had mentioned which mechs have clanner variants.

    Thanks for the video nice work. All of the opened boxsets you have showed are they enough for a 2 player game or is this a sort of a beginner buyers suggestion for one player?
    I always have to buy for 2 players and I am very much interested about this game.

    • @kathilmechworks4895

      Honestly what was opened could do a company on company game. 12 mechs each. Most games especially for new players would do only 2 to 4 each side.

    Is it necessary to buy multiples of the same box? I’d like to field an effective lance. Is it possible to do it with no repeat mechs?

    • @kathilmechworks4895
      @kathilmechworks4895  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Completely fine to do so. I generally only double up or triple up with lights such as the Jenner or the bugs some times.

      as for actual force building. there are several methods. the standard innersphere forces have lances, company, battalion and regiment (and larger)
      a Lance has 4 units. mechs, armor, infantry platoons. (Aerospace has 2)
      a company has 3 lances. (12 units)
      a battalion has 3 company's (36 units)
      there is a basic configuration for lances.
      light lance: 3 light mechs, 1 medium mech
      medium lance: 1 light mech, 2 medium mech and 1 heavy mech
      heavy lance: 1 medium mech, 2 heavy mech and 1 assault mech
      assault lance: 2 heavy mech and 2 assault mech
      this can be adjusted to anything you want. but this is a typical format when building lances.

    Very helpful but are there any packs that the awesome come in

    • @kathilmechworks4895
      @kathilmechworks4895  ปีที่แล้ว

      Awesome came in the game of armored combat only. Some times you will see singles on eBay or fortress games and minis.

    Your opinion is fine and all, but as a clanner nerd from MWO, I want to play my clan mechs damn it lmao

    • @kathilmechworks4895
      @kathilmechworks4895  ปีที่แล้ว

      Then do so. For some one starting out though you will get more games in by starting with A game of armored combat than you will a Clan starter, but hey if you got a group that mostly plays 3050 and beyond have at it.
