Scouring Sands: Build a Force Using Only the Alpha Strike Box

Starting the Scouring Sands campaign but only own the BattleTech Alpha Strike box? In this video we build a full 399-point force using nothing but what comes in the box. No extra purchases. No deep collection. Just a practical, campaign-ready list designed to survive multiple missions. We work from the Inner Sphere chassis first, select stable campaign variants using the Master Unit List, then bring in Clan Mechs to round out the roster. After locking in the list, we set up named pilots, Edge upgrades, and special abilities to make sure this force holds together across the entire contract. If you’re looking for a clean, low-entry starting point for BattleTech Aces: Scouring Sands, this is it. Force summary: AS8-D Atlas ARC-7C Archer WHM-8R Warhammer PXH-9 Phoenix Hawk TR1 Wraith BJ-3 Blackjack LCT-5M Locust WSP-5A Wasp Mad Cat W Black Hawk L Dasher A Total: 399 PV If you would have made different variant picks, especially during the Warhammer segment, let me know in the comments.
