'''''Scorched Earth''''' was a World Wide Event created by the [[Catalyst Demo Team]]. It consisted of boardgame and roleplaying scenarios that were played out in a worldwide series of events under the supervision of the Agents during the Summer of 2017. The scenario packs were subsequently made available for free download in [[w:PDF|PDF]] format, as two separate files. One file covered classic [[BattleTech (boardgame)]] and [[Alpha Strike (rules)|Alpha Strike]] scenarios while the other covered the accompanying roleplaying scenario for the ''[[A Time of War]]'' ruleset.
