Comment: A very good starter set. The instructions are easy too use, get a book explaining the battletech universe and a map of space.

Comment: One of the best starter sets around. Plenty of mechs, very easy instructions and a nice set of maps to play with. Wel worth the asking price, one of the few games which is actually fun to learn. The starter rules are great and lets you play a simplified game, from which you can build on until you include all the lvl 1 rules.
The map is one of the best inclusions in this set, as well as the history of the Battletech universe booklet giving the player a good background on the game. A must for anyone who wants to start playing the great game.

Comment: A logical starting point for any new player, or someone interested in teaching new players.

The new boxed set is pretty well stocked with a broad range of goodies that gives anyone a good idea about what they can expect from the Battletech universe. The 3067 map is pretty awesome, the quick play rules are very useful to get you started, and there's a good bit of eyecandy. Bit pricy, but in my opinion you get what you pay for. This box accomplished it's purpose well.

Not a must-have for a seasoned player with no interest in teaching others, pretty much anyone else can expect to benefit.
