I'm not even at the airport to head to Gen Con yet, and this news happened (I'm blogging on my phone from the shuttle):
TACTICAL ‘MECH COMBAT RETURNS TO THE PC. Harebrained Schemes is pleased to announce their return to Kickstarter this Fall to partner with backers in co-funding the creation of BATTLETECH. Jordan Weisman, the creator of BattleTech and MechWarrior, is back with the first turn-based BattleTech game for PC in over two decades. Steeped in the feudal political intrigue of the BattleTech universe, the game will feature an open-ended Mercenaries-style campaign that blends RPG ‘Mech and MechWarrior management with modern turn-based tactics.
Sorry that the presentation is ugly, there aren't a lot of frills from the phone version, but I wanted to get the basics out. I'll pretty this up, and get more details to you when I'm at an actual computer.
