Quick answer
The BattleTech ForcePack: Assault & Cavalry Lances gives you eight vehicle miniatures and Alpha Strike cards for a combined arms force that can both smash and harass. It's a versatile pick for players who want heavy firepower and mobile support in one box.
What makes this ForcePack different
Most BattleTech ForcePacks focus on a single role, like heavy battle or recon. The Assault & Cavalry Lances bundle mixes two distinct playstyles: slow, hard-hitting assault vehicles and fast, opportunistic cavalry units. This lets you build a combined-arms force without buying separate packs.
The assault half includes Demolisher Heavy Tanks and Schrek PPC Carriers, both known for punching through enemy armor. The cavalry half adds Condor Heavy Hover Tanks and Pegasus Scout Hover Tanks, which can flank and exploit gaps in the line.
Trade-offs to consider
Because the pack contains two different lance types, you get fewer identical units than a single-lance pack would offer. If you want to field multiple Demolishers or a full hover tank company, you may need to buy extra boxes.
The miniatures are plastic and require assembly. While the detail is good, beginners should budget time for cleaning and gluing parts together.
Decision rules for this ForcePack
- Choose if you want a mixed force: This pack is ideal if you want both heavy assault and mobile cavalry in one purchase. It saves money compared to buying two separate lance packs.
- Skip if you need identical lances: If your list requires multiple identical vehicles (e.g., four Demolishers), a single-lance pack like the Heavy Battle Lance gives you more of the same unit. Consider the Heavy Battle Lance for duplicate assault vehicles.
- Alpha Strike ready: The included Battlefield Support Cards let you play Alpha Strike immediately with the included miniatures. No need to buy extra cards or tokens.
