GMG Reviews - Battletech: Alpha Strike Counters by Catalyst Game Labs

[@adamminister7123]

I love the fact that it's designed for the book but also designed in a way that complements the box set too. A lot of companies would have just repackaged the stuff in the box rather than produce new stuff.

[@Subcomandante73]

Hope this makes it to the UK shops soon.

I love Catalyst's willingness to embrace making products that work and add fun to the games. I remember when GW redid Necromunda a few years back and the terrain kinda sucked, somebody mentioned that doing cardboard terrain again was just really of beneath them now, even though it would have been so much better than what actually came in the box. And Catalyst is just like, "hey did you know if you take a little cardboard box and fold it up it looks like a building, here's a couple dozen!" They're not too big and important to just be a game company and make Urbanmech lances and cardboard roads.

Just started playing Alpha Strike with the starter box, and this looks great as an add on for that.

I have the alpha strike box set. I’m going to buy this up once it’s available at the LGS hoping to get more folks into a new AS community here

[@SteveMurphyShark]

Thanks Ash , just pledged for the merc Kickstarter - I’ll grab this too!

[@xczechr]

Looks like something I am going to need to pick up. Thanks for reviewing.

[@cjwestphal397]

The buildings alone in this and the core set are worth it, just for the printer ink it would take to print alternative buildings myself!

[@lorcannagle]

I scanned in the counter sheet from the Alpha Strike box and printed out a bunch of extras so I could have loads of extra movement tokens. And while I fully plan to buy two of these sets I now need to make new scanned counters to expand the options!

[@sleepsinleaves]

Yay numbers on tokens! Guess I need to take a Sharpie to the starter box tokens after getting this.

[@darrenmurphy480]

And ordered!!!

[@danroberts007]

This was one of the top things I was planning to pick up at Adepticon. Sadly, they didn’t get any for the public in time. :-( I appreciate the sneak peek, I will 100% pick this up when it’s available.

[@thomaswilliams5005]

I love knowing what I’m getting from these reviews. I’m really hoping you do the new Star Trek Away Teams game.

[@mrbigglezworth42]

The Alpha Strike cardboard buildings didn't translate as well on the hex maps which I primarily use so I didn't quite like them as much. the rest of that though? I could definitely find a use for.

[@worlds-in-conflict]

It seems like a small thing but those numbered TMN tokens are a HUGE upgrade! Love this set! Also; YOUR STEALTH ATLAS CAN GO TO HELL!

[@euansmith3699]

Ah-hem... don't look now... but Stealth Atlas is behind you.

[@thehumblepundit9790]

Very cool!! Any idea on the release date and price?

[@nckestrel]

"soon". within next couple months? $24.99 is listed on the back cover.

[@stingermarine85]

Any idea where to pick this up? I can’t seem to find it.

[@nckestrel]

it hasn't been released yet. some preview copies and early promotional copies are out, think it'll be out in the next couple months?

[@Based_Lord_Humongous]

This should be an option on the Kickstarter instead of digital content.
