Using this product is a breeze. Just take the fully - assembled miniatures out of the box, grab the pilot and Alpha Strike cards, and you're ready to start your BattleTech or Alpha Strike game. When setting up the game, place the miniatures on the playing area according to the rules of the game you're playing. Remember to keep the cards organized so you can quickly refer to them during the game. As for maintenance, avoid exposing the miniatures to extreme temperatures or rough handling. You can use a soft brush to gently clean the miniatures if they get dirty. Keep the cards in a dry place to prevent them from warping or getting damaged. Have fun with your battles!
