The BattleTech: Mercenaries Kickstarter campaign was announced back in January 2023 (see " 'BattleTech' 'Mercenaries' Kickstarter"), and launched via a special livestream at Adepticon 2023.

The box will include 12 assembled BattleMechs and vehicles, 2 full-color paper maps, 3 punchboards of counters, a 32-page rulebook, a 24-page Record Sheet Booklet, a 16-page Mercenary Primer, a 36-page fiction novella, 8 double-sided pilot cards, 12 double-sided pilot cards, 12 double-sided Alpha Strike cards, 99 Battlefield Support cards, a reference sheet, a double-sided laminated poster, and 2 six-sided dice.
