BattleTech: Mercenaries Kickstarter

 Hey Folks, Today is the Day!  Our BattleTech Kickstarter package came in!  Well, one of them did.  The SO and I each backed and had our stuff shipped as separate orders.  My stuff is in, hers is not.  She is less amused than I am.  So, the grand box has arrived, and we’re going to do a big unboxing, (I’ll do separate reviews of individual products in the coming weeks, but this is the grand boxening).  

Note the Fridge for Scale

Rather than try to go over what is in each individual box, mostly because that would be tedious, even for us, we’ve broken stuff down by rough category (we have pictures for everything, so buckle up).

Now, I screwed up here and failed majestically to get the Scorpion Empire dice (I THOUGHT THEY WERE INCLUDED), and so I'm looking to pick up a set of those.  So, if you’re a fan out there (or have access to a truck full of Scorpion Empire Dice), hit me up.  We’ll be going over everything in greater individual reviews, (and we have a second shipment coming for the SO), but overall, I'm very pleased with the assortment.  My personal take is that I think QML could have gotten this packed in two boxes instead of three, but it’s here, and we can enjoy all of our stuff.

Was it a rough ride? Not really.  It just took a while.  I hope the EU, AUS, ROW folks get their shipments started soon, and I hope the rest of the US finishes up soon.  I honestly can’t wait to see how other people react to this stuff in the wild.  The abundance of new combat vehicles makes the Battlefield Support a fun line up, and the force packs fill in some holes in classic lines.  

I hope y’all have fun with your packages when they get here, and happy gaming BattleTech Nerds.
