Classic Battletech Rules, with optional rules listed in the rules PDF
A Salvage Free For All is an event where players use the contents of two random salvage boxes to determine both what mechs they will be using in a free-for-all match as well as the prizes for that match.
You pay your entry fee, and you get 2 Salvage boxes (1 each of Clan Invasion and Mercenaries). You look at the contents of both boxes and decide which one you want to play in the free-for-all. Each ‘Mech has a predetermined variant and pilot rating. This keeps the BV totals as close as reasonable to each other. Check the back of the rules PDF for the variant and pilot ratings for each Mech. The Mech you select to use, you will keep. The Mech you do not use goes into the prize pool for your group (pod). First place player for your group (pod) gets a fresh Gothic salvage box and first pick of the ‘Mechs that were not chosen by your pod. We try to keep the group sizes to 4 or less; see rules for details. You’ll get the record sheet of your selected ‘Mech at the store (we print them after you select your ‘Mech). An additional Gothic Salvage box will be added to the prize pool per table of 4. Total cost is $18.52+tax ($20 after tax).
Note that if Salvage boxes are not available at the time, we will break down some of the larger plastic boxes and create the same event. Either way, your experience will not change.
