BattleTech - Hotspots: Hinterlands

BattleTech - Hotspots: Hinterlands is a campaign sourcebook that lets you lead a mercenary outfit through the ilClan era’s most volatile borderlands.

Across the fractured worlds of the Hinterlands, you’ll chain together contracts from rival powers, negotiate pay and salvage, and guide your unit through shifting alliances and hard-fought battles. Scenario hooks and ready-made operations let you defend key worlds, side with iconic movers like Calamity Kell’s Arc Royal Liberty Coalition, or throw in with ambitious factions such as the Alyina Mercantile League and the Tamar Pact as you write your force’s story one contract at a time.

Built as a spiritual successor to the classic Hot Spots duology, this volume expands the BattleTech: Mercenaries boxed set campaign rules into a complete framework for long-term play, with tools to adjust difficulty, scale forces, and track your reputation and resources over multiple operations. Whether you play Classic BattleTech or Alpha Strike, the book gives you everything you need to turn one-off games into a connected mercenary saga in the ilClan era. Available now at Boarding School Games—chart your mercenary legend in the Hinterlands.
