    [​IMG]After a few days BattleTech has reached several stretch goals already:

    Another Funding Goal Hit!
    Two New Backer Mission Rewards Unlocked!
    Update About Add-Ons!
    And Some Stage 3: Expanded Mercenary Campaign Talk!
    Wow! Our Kickstarter is only 3 days old and you've already hit our next Funding Goal. Thanks to your generous support, we're able to add voice acting to the game! Hell yes!

    GBC Mission Report #2
    Since our Alpha Strike Mission Results, the Global BattleTech Community has managed to unlock THREE more Rewards:
    • We're adding the Eridani Light Horse, including MechWarriors, as an enemy unit you can fight in the Stage 1 Skirmish Game
    • We're adding the Kurita Sword of Light , including MechWarriors, as an enemy unit you can fight in the Stage 1 Skirmish Game
    • And we're adding a SECOND Live Streaming Twitch Q&A session with Jordan, Mitch, and Mike
    We should also point out that thanks to the Global BattleTech Community, a SECOND Michael A. Stackpole e-novella has been added to the $50 Reward Level. And if more Backer Missions are completed, a third and fourth e-novella can be added, too!

    And remember - if the GBC is able to earn 60 pts, Mr. Stackpole has agreed to drop the e-novellas and commit himself to a FULL LENGTH 3025 SUCCESSION WARS ERA NOVEL.

    Add-Ons
    We've gotten a lot of feedback on our Comments page about Backer's desire to purchase Add-Ons and support the project. We would LOVE to be able to offer all sorts of cool BattleTech physical goodies for you to purchase but unfortunately, right now we can't.

    While we are able to offer some sweet physical rewards as a THANK YOU to Backers, we don't have the rights to SELL physical goods to you in the form of Add-Ons. We're working on it, though, and hope to be able to offer some cool physical Add-Ons before our Kickstarter campaign is over. If and when it happens, we'll send you an Update ASAP!

    But we did hear that you also want DIGITAL ADD-ONS, so that you can buy copies of BATTLETECH for friends and family. So we're very happy to add that!

    Always Read the Fine Print
    One of the more treacherous elements that we'd like to include in the Stage 3 Expanded Mercenary Campaign is negotiating contracts with potential employers - who can be anyone from the leader of a local farming cooperative, to the crown prince of a Great House.

    We are currently thinking that mercenary contracts will contain a variety of clauses or terms that can be negotiated. For example, you might trade a higher initial down payment for increased salvage rights on a given mission. Or, insist that the client provide some of their own military support for a particularly dicey operation, in exchange for a reduction in fees for completing a mission objective.
