Coming up as cheapest on the camels. For once BGO is the slow one. Currently 8.4 on BGG.

In this introduction to the BattleTech game and universe, players each take control of one or more giant walking war machines (BattleMechs, aka 'Mechs) and battle until their opponent is destroyed or until the scenario objectives being played are completed.

In 2019 the old BattleTech Introductory Box Set was replaced by two all-new box sets. The second of these (after the Beginner Box) is A Game of Armored Combat. AGoAC comes with eight 'Mech miniatures—seven new, one a repeat from the Beginner Box (all made to a higher quality level than the previous generation of box set miniatures). The AGoAC rules cover introductory weapons and construction technology, and the standard BattleTech ruleset for mechs.

An expansion for this set, the BattleTech: Clan Invasion box set, adds more advanced technologies and introduces the Clan factions.

In terms of rulebooks, the intended follow-on from this box is either the BattleMech Manual (for more advanced but still mech-only play) or Total Warfare (for combined arms play featuring mechs, combat vehicles, infantry, air support, etc).

Edit: Was cheaper via 3rd parties back in 2020 but it still is the best by a mile right now.

    Mechwarrior Online is still free to play and will sate your robot smashing appetite. It's also the good kind of free to play, not pay to win, and what grind there is is overcome just by playing normally.

  Ive been getting into Wargames recently, slowly getting into the more obscure and lesser known IP's as Games Workshop dominates the market. BattleTech has been slowly rising up among the ranks but just know what your getting into, this is a fairly heavy and complex ruleset from what i have heard.

  For other people dipping their toes in i would see if you like other popular Skirmish games like Malifaux & OnePageRules

        I haven't played any of the games I've bought. Luckily I don't buy many. Not much point right now…

        Really looking forward to seeing what Gloomhaven is like on Epic though.
