Your Totally Legitimate Source for Guaranteed* BattleTech Victory
Greetings, MechWarrior. Pull up a chair. Let Mia talk to you for a minute.
You've been losing, haven't you. Don't be embarrassed. It happens to the best of us. Your Locust keeps getting cored by an Atlas. Your fire support lance somehow always ends up in melee. Your opponent's dice are suspiciously good and yours are suspiciously bad and you're starting to wonder if the universe has a personal grudge against you.
Friend, I have good news. Your problems are not skill-related. They are equipment-related. And Mia is here to fix that.
Welcome to Mia's 'Mech Mercantile — proudly operating out of the Hammer of War storefront, conveniently located on the information superhighway at hammerofwar.us. We have what you need. We have it at a fair price. And we are absolutely certain it will turn your tabletop fortunes around.
TODAY'S FEATURED INVENTORY
🔥 The BattleTech: Mercenaries Box Set – Kickstarter Limited Edition
Listen. LISTEN. You want to win games? You need mechs. You want more mechs? You need more mechs. This is not complicated mathematics. The Mercenaries KS Limited Edition box contains twelve high-quality fully assembled BattleMechs and vehicles, complete Battlefield Support rules, a campaign system, and enough combined arms firepower to make your opponents quietly reconsider their life choices before the first initiative roll.
Sealed. Genuine. Kickstarter exclusive. Not available in stores. Mia acquired this through entirely above-board channels and is prepared to part with it for a very reasonable sum.
Will it win you games? Mia says: statistically, having more mechs is better than having fewer mechs. This is science.
⚡ Mercenaries ForcePack Lance Packs — Build Your Force, Lance by Lance
Mia has acquired a suspiciously large number of Mercenaries ForcePack lance sets, and is passing the savings — and the 'Mechs — directly on to you. These are the official Catalyst Game Labs plastic lance packs, fully assembled, ready to prime, complete with pilot cards and Alpha Strike cards. No assembly required. No excuses accepted.
Currently in stock:
- Inner Sphere Striker Lance — Blackjack, Jenner, Panther, Wolfhound. Fast. Aggressive. Will absolutely win games if piloted correctly. Mia makes no promises about the "correctly" part.
- Inner Sphere Support Lance — Cyclops, Dragon, Spider, Thug. The Cyclops alone has a battle computer that makes your whole force smarter. Mia considers this a significant upgrade over the average player.
- Inner Sphere Heavy Lance — Catapult, Grasshopper, JagerMech, Quickdraw. Medium-range firepower. Jump jets. A JagerMech, which is exactly as intimidating as it sounds. Mia approves.
- Inner Sphere Direct Fire Lance — Atlas, Crusader, Marauder II, Orion. The Atlas is here. THE ATLAS IS HERE. Mia does not need to say anything else about this lance. The Atlas speaks for itself. It speaks loudly. In autocannon.
Each lance pack includes four pre-assembled 'Mechs, four MechWarrior pilot cards, and four Alpha Strike cards. Pick one. Pick all four. Mia is not here to judge. Mia is here to facilitate.
🎖️ MechWarrior Pilot Decks — Because Your 'Mechs Deserve Better Than Generic Pilots
New in stock and frankly a little exciting. These are the official Catalyst Game Labs MechWarrior Pilot Decks, produced under Topps license, and they are gorgeous. Fifty-five cards per deck, full-colour portraits, short bios, and actual pilot stats you can assign to your 'Mechs for both Classic BattleTech and Alpha Strike.
Currently available:
- Heroes of the Clan Invasion — The pilots who fought the Clans and lived to tell about it. Inspirational. Statistically useful. Mia recommends.
- Warriors of Kerensky I — Clan warriors. Genetically engineered. Battle-tested. Deeply committed to the concept of winning. A concerning amount of personal honour. Good stats though.
- Champions of the Inner Sphere I — The Inner Sphere's finest. Veterans of the Succession Wars, tested against Clan tech, still standing. Mia respects the hustle.
- Mercenaries of the Inner Sphere II — Fifty-five mercenary MechWarriors from across the Inner Sphere, each one available for the right C-Bills. Mia finds this relatable.
Does assigning a named legendary pilot to your 'Mech improve your dice rolls? Mia cannot confirm this. Mia also cannot deny it. What Mia can confirm is that it definitely improves the narrative, and a good narrative is its own reward. Unless you lose. Then it is a tragedy.
📋 Alpha Strike Unit Card Sets — Stop Scribbling on Paper
For the Alpha Strike players in the audience, Mia has secured two essential card sets covering the full sweep of BattleTech's history:
- Alpha Strike Succession Wars Cards — 98 double-sided laminated 'Mech cards covering the wars that shaped the Inner Sphere, plus 10 Combat Command summary cards. Dry-erase ready. Your record-keeping problem is solved.
- Alpha Strike Clan Invasion Cards — 98 double-sided laminated cards for the Clan Invasion era, plus 10 Combat Command summary cards. Covers both the Clan OmniMechs that came to conquer and the Inner Sphere 'Mechs that told them where to go.
Laminated. Dry-erase. Full colour. Mia has never understood why anyone tracks damage on scraps of paper when these exist, and Mia is prepared to say so directly to your face.
⚔️ Iron Wind Metals BattleMech Miniatures — The Full Range
Iron Wind Metals. The official licensed manufacturer of BattleTech metal miniatures. Real pewter. Real detail. Real heft. The kind of miniature you place on the table and your opponent immediately knows you are a serious person who should be taken seriously.
Singles. Two-packs. Mechs, vehicles, VTOLs. Classic designs. Black Knights. Exterminators. Saladins. LRM Carriers. Mantis VTOLs. The whole Inner Sphere combined-arms experience, ready for priming.
Do painted miniatures roll better dice than unpainted ones? Mia cannot confirm this officially. Mia also cannot deny it. Something to consider.
📚 BattleTech Rulebooks — Know Your Enemy (And Your Own Rules)
Alpha Strike Commander's Edition. Tactical Operations. Strategic Operations. Interstellar Operations. Technical Readouts going back to the dawn of the Inner Sphere. Mia has a robust selection of BattleTech rules supplements and sourcebooks, because knowledge is power, and power is winning, and winning is what Mia is selling.
Pro tip from Mia: reading the rules before playing them is technically optional but statistically beneficial. Mia has seen things at this table. Mia has seen things.
🎲 BattleTech Scenario Packs, Map Packs & Accessories
The Battle of Tukayyid Map Pack. First Strike Scenario Pack. Beginner Box sets for inducting new victims — players — into the fold. If you want to expand your gaming experience beyond "we set up mechs and shoot each other" into "we set up mechs, shoot each other, and there is a narrative reason for it," Mia has the materials to make that happen.
A narrative reason for losing is still losing, but it feels more dignified. Mia respects that.
THE MIA GUARANTEE*
Every product purchased from Mia's 'Mech Mercantile will absolutely improve your BattleTech experience. New miniatures will make your collection look better. New rulebooks will make you know more rules. New lance packs will give you more lances. New pilot decks will give your MechWarriors names, faces, and the psychological advantage of feeling like real people with real stakes. These are objective facts.
Furthermore, Mia personally guarantees that any mech purchased from our inventory existed in the BattleTech universe, was manufactured to the specifications of the Inner Sphere or Clan, and has the theoretical capability to win any engagement in which it is deployed.
Whether it actually wins that engagement depends on factors outside Mia's jurisdiction.
