Lake Charles, LA, - April 13, 2012 - The BattleTech Pods are being prepared for mobilization and deployment to the battlefield of CyPhaCon held in the Lake Charles Civic Center in Downtown Lake Charles, Louisiana. This return deployment is expected to turn out scores of veteran BattleTech MechWarriors and new recruits wanting the ultimate experience in Giant Robotic Warfare.

The Virtual World Tesla II® BattleTech Cockpit Simulator Pods deliver adrenaline-pumping action. Every moment counts as you control a thirty-foot tall, 75-ton walking tank, blasting your way to victory. From the moment you spot an opponent on your radar screen to the explosive battles, you are exhilarated. Enjoy the hunt for prey in a futuristic wasteland from inside our BattleTech Pods.

Go up against live and additional AI opponents in team or free-for-all mayhem. BattleTech is not hide and seek, it's seek and destroy.

A short training session from Veteran MechWarrior Pilots will get you ready for battle. Afterwards, you can talk smack while enjoying a mission review video of your battle and comparing your scoresheet to the other pilots in your mission.
