Catalyst Game Labs is pleased to announce that Randal N. Bills will be attending the MechWarrior Online North American Launch Event in San Francisco, California, on September 26th.
“I played the original MechWarrior computer game when it was released in 1989,” said Randall N. Bills, Managing Developer for Catalyst Game Labs. “In fact, I remember that my friends bought it for me and I had to go in half with my dad to double our RAM from 2 megs to 4 just so I could run it. And I’ve been a fan ever since, having played every version across the years. Watching MechWarrior Online unfold, being a small part of that process, and watching the community embrace it and take it to whole new levels…it’s crazy exciting. It’s an honor to be apart of this event.”
Randall N. Bills will be running BattleTech: Alpha Strike at the event in a dedicated Catalyst Game Labs’ BattleTech section. BattleTech: Alpha Strike is a quick-playing tactical miniatures game that provides a whole new way to enjoy BattleTech, giving you the complete experience as a true miniatures game with fast, exciting game play!
Meet Randall, ask him questions, play in an Alpha Strike game…he’ll see you on the 26th!

Update on Upcoming BattleTech Boxed Sets
With convention season behind us, the Catalyst team wanted to provide an update on two hotly-anticipated BattleTech products, the “BattleTech Beginner Box” and “BattleTech: A Game of Armored Combat” boxed sets.
Just before PAX West, we were surprised to learn we would not be receiving additional rush-delivered copies of the two boxed sets. What’s more, despite being in near-constant contact with the overseas manufacturer throughout August, it is clear they have not shipped the production runs as expected.
As such, we wanted to let customers and retailers alike know that the two products will not be available by the end of the third quarter of 2018 as we’d planned. While this news is as disappointing to our team as it is to you, we wanted to ensure you had the most up-to-date information possible.
We continue to work with the manufacturer to get both box sets in stores as soon as possible. Once the production run ships and clears customs, we will have a reasonable estimate for a release date of the two products.
Until then, we appreciate your patience and understanding, and your continued support of BattleTech.
