Last I heard they purchased back the rights to the series, and they were in a heated legal battle over the Tomahawk/Warhammer. It seemed pretty bleak and there was no hope in sight. Did the FASA guys lose the IP again?
Quickly on the side, as an avid fan of World of Tanks, I think this is a great Idea, just hopeful they incorporate alot of polish and custom ability. This is probably the best way to bring this series back from the dead.

nothing happened S&T are more of a concept house than a gave developer. They still had their license for MW from MS but the PGI stepped in saying they really wanted to do a MW game so they were able to work a deal with S&W so they had control of the license.

MW:TC is the MechCommander spin-off franchise. Its been quiet and doing well. Never been a MechCommander guy, but if I were to own an Ipad, this would be why.
Also, Note that this game is vastly different than MechWarrior:Tactic, which is basically Battletech:TT, a turn base strategy.
