Battletech – Hot Spots Melbourne

The tournament is suitable to beginners and veterans alike and our focus remains on building the Battletech community in Victoria. If you need any tips with building forces check out the NWA website blog or come to one of our weekly gaming days for a friendly game.

This tournament uses all the main rules in the Alpha Strike box set and Commanders edition where possible. Our focus is to keep games down to 90 minutes with a satisfactory conclusion, keep in mind that for most games this will be 3-6 turns. The tournament will be a four round Swiss style tournament with win/loss conditions and tie breakers determined through match point scores.

It is our intent that you only need the main Alpha Strike Box Set or similar force to be able to play in the tournament (or Battletech AGOAC + lance pack; or Battletech CI + Star Pack).

These rules in the main reflect the Battletech Champion Circuit (BTCC) rules by Catalyst with revised scoring based off the experience of past tournaments. Our force building tournament rules have been heavily revised to clarify and build from our previous tournament based on current international tournament rules.
