: 2019 was a great year to be a [[BattleTech]] fan. The [[Sarna BattleTechWiki]] had its second most active year ever, going by new articles created (3,160) - and 2020 is shaping up to be at least as good, with the expected delivery of the [[2019 Clan Invasion crowdfunding campaign|Clan Invasion Kickstarter]] goods and probably also the launch of the [[IlClan era]] with its accompanying fiction and goodies. Though personally, the announced product that I am stoked about most is [[Shrapnel (magazine)]].

: The BattleTech fanbase tore into the [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/450703636/battletech-clan-invasion/ Kickstarter for the Clan Invasion] box set like the Clan Invasion tore into the Inner Sphere. The project was funded after seven minutes (where "it should have taken longer than seven minutes to read all the stretch goals", to quote CGL) and stretch goals are being steamrolled much like clueless Inner Sphere defenders in the face of the Clan juggernaut, with some stretch goals achieved even before they were properly offered on the Kickstarter page. The Kickstarter seems to be a stunning success. Go BattleTech!
