First off, I'm beyond excited for this. I've been playing Battletech since 1988, and the models and art they're based on look incredible. You've got my money.
Secondly, please don't screw this up. Charge shipping after the campaign ends. Be communicative and transparent throughout this process. Kickstarter Campaigns have a lot of moving parts, therefore lots of failure points. Every add on that isn't the core project is an additional failure point, so consider that stuff carefully.
Best of luck, CGL! Looking forward to having cool new mechs to paint sometime in 2021! (No pressure!)
