With your help! The success of our last few games allows us to fund the Base Skirmish Game - but with your support BATTLETECH can become so much more. Here's how the game will expand as the campaign's funding increases. (For a full summary, see the Game Stages section below).
- STAGE 1 (Already funded by Harebrained Schemes): A turn-based tactical skirmish game - command a Lance of 4 'Mechs & MechWarriors against AI opponents across a variety of battlefields.
- STAGE 2 ($1,000,000): We add a full, single-player story campaign to the game.
- STAGE 3 ($1,850,000): We add side-missions, procedurally-generated missions and the campaign becomes open-ended.
- STAGE 4 ($2,500,000): Introduces PVP multiplayer combat in the famous arenas of Solaris VII.
BATTLETECH is in development for PC, Mac, and Linux in English and will be delivered in standard and DRM-free versions on Steam, GoG, and Humble stores. The game will also be made available in German, French, and Russian (with localized text, and audio subtitles) in a post-launch update. Other platforms and languages may be announced at a later stage. BATTLETECH is expected to launch in early 2017.

I'm in for $50. The Shadowrun games have been really good (better with each new one they've released), and I don't doubt that these guys can deliver. I kinda wish they'd support up to company level engagements rather than just lance level. Maybe in a sequel or expansion...
Looks like they won't have much trouble hitting $1M. At least we should get the single-player campaign out of it. That's what I'm looking forward to.
