BATTLETECH secures April 24 release date
Harebrained Schemes have confirmed that their new BattleTech video game will be available on 24 April.
The new game is a turn-based wargame following a bunch of mercenary MechWarriors as they help Kamea Arano retake her position as head of her family and ruler of her homeworld, having been deposed in a coup. The game unfolds through a dynamic strategic campaign, with you choosing which world to attack (or liberate) next and what missions to undertake, and then a 3D battle mode where you take your 'mechs into combat. You can buy new 'mechs and upgrade your equipment between engagements.

I was extremely happy to see there is a Mac port, so I'll get to play this.
