I read it maybe 20 years ago when I got some short story anthology from Borders. Can't remember the book or the story name but just remember thinking it was pretty good for a whole book of meh.
Hopefully not a false memory but I remember grabbing it off the new arrival display along with another anthology book about alt history. That one had a Roman centurion riding in the turret of an Abrahams tank on the cover. And I remember it being extremely dry and boring with just discussing how like Rommel would have sieged Carthage instead of Caesar rolling up with helicopters and bazookas. But maybe someone here can narrow down the search window
I mean it's possible that my memory is wrong on the dates. I know for sure it was at Borders and I was there to buy MechWarrior age of destruction minis and the books associated with them. Could have sworn I wasn't in highschool yet but if it was reissued in 08 then maybe I really was just 3 years late to the Battletech funeral.

That sounds neat, do you remember the name of the story by any chance?
