This is the webpage for Instant Action, a custom scenario pack for Classic Battletech. In Instant Action, each player chooses from one of five agendas - Confront, Hold, Recon, Destroy, and Salvage. Your choice, compared with your opponent's, determines which of the scenarios you play. All scenarios are faction and era agnostic, allowing any play group to use them, and are oriented for quick pickup games, even between players who don't know each other well.
Building a force for Instant Action is simple. Players just need to agree on an era and Battle Value for their forces, along with a map size. It's recommended that players choose about 6,000 BV, with 3-6 units each, but these numbers can be adjusted to suit your group as needed.
Instant Action is fully compatible with the Mercenary Chaos campaign included in Battletech: Mercenaries and Hot Spots: Hinterlands. Included are three new Mercenary Contracts for use with Instant Action, allowing you to build your games into an ongoing campaign with triumphs and consequences, while exploring the relation between you and your employers via the Agenda system.
