We all love our minis, but what about if you're new and want to try BattleTech before you buy into the hobby? Thanks to Catalyst Game Labs, you can learn to play for FREE!

Episode 14 is a discussion with another new to the universe friend, CJ, from the Next Gen Nerd podcast. We look at how you can play BattleTech for free with some official resources. In preparation, CJ even listened to his first BattleTech novel, Decision at Thunder Rift, so we finish the episode with a short first impressions discussion!
