The “what to buy when” order of things isn’t really well organized for anybody coming from the outside.

Want to dip your toe into Battletech? The Beginners Box is your friend. Simplified rules, 2 mechs, 8 card board standees, a map and basically everything you need to play.

Really want to play? Get the A Game Of Armoured Combat box. 8 Mechs, card board standees, maps and a basic rulebook.

The boxes Clan Invasion and Mercenaries or more like “campaing” or (in video game terms) DLC. Optional rules with more different mechs and stuff.

You really want to go full hog all in with flyers, space combat and slippery roads? Get the big book Total Warfare. That tome has *everything* in it. All the weapons, rules, tables, backstory.

For free CGL pdfs Wargame Vault is your better option.

CGL does a bad job with their homepage currently. It looks nice and all but it just doesn’t work for anybody who’s not working with it on a daily basis.
