Battletech...at last

Last summer at GenCon Indy I was all pumped to get the 25th anniversary boxed set edition of Battletech in its re-release but low and behold it was not out it. I saw a mock up and pre press version. The one I wanted, with all the miniatures, was not yet ready.

Now Catalyst Games has finally announced that March 30th the edition will be available and that it is shipping to warehouses now. This is not a light release either it is packed full of awesome Battletech goodness:
