What is Battletech?
You've probably heard of the classic game Mech Warrior? It's that universe but in turn based, mech crunching format instead of realtime mech crunching format.
Well the geniuses at HBS (Harebrained Schemes: Shadowrun Returns, Dragonfall, Hong Kong) are making another turn based game! And y'all know how much I love turn based combat. Like a fat man loves a fry up.
That doesn't help, what is Battletech?
In the medium distant future after multiple terrible civil wars 5 houses, noble in name, fight for the right to rule over humanity. Their weapons of choice? Giant mechs kitted out with as much demolition hardware as possible! If you're a noble in a planetwide firefight, may as well look badass, right?
Where can I find more?

Or check out the steam group Battletech(2017) I created for updates.
It was successfully kickstarted a while ago but I didn't really see it until now. It's slated for a 1-2Q 2017 release so only a year or 2 to wait.
