May 25, 2005 (SEATTLE) - WizKids Inc., makers of the popular Mage Knight®, HeroClix® and MechWarrior® collectable miniatures games (CMGs), is proud to announce the release of MechWarrior: Firepower, the most recent expansion for the MechWarrior CMG.
"MechWarrior: Firepower ramps up the action in the battle for the Inner Sphere," said Mike Samora, vice president of Sales and Marketing at WizKids®. "This is a very attack-oriented set, and players will love the new levels of strategy and power it brings to the Age of Destruction." Earlier in 2005, WizKids launched MechWarrior: Age of Destruction, a complete update to the MechWarrior CMG that introduced new mechanics and familiar factions from the more than 20 years of the universe's fictional history.
Advancing the storyline with new alliances and conflicts, MechWarrior: Firepower brings the very best to the table for collectors and fans of the game. Players can now collect an entire set of MechWarrior: Firepower out of one case of Boosters (not including the super-rare game pieces), making it easier than ever to expand a collection and battle for supremacy in this exciting, tactical future.
