Title: Muskets & Tomahawks II - Nickstarter.
Post by: nicknorthstar on January 23, 2020, 12:57:59 PM: We are planning the Muskets & Tomahawks II Nickstarter pre-order campaign right now.

If you don't know what a Nickstarter is, it's a silly name for taking Pre-orders. But we add elements of Kickstarter into it, so the more that is spent, the more Spend Goal Rewards it releases. In this case they will be unique miniatures.

I'll put a reply on here when we launch, hopefully next week.

I'm giving all our newsletter subscribers a little 'Early Bird' bonus. If you're not a subscriber, and are interested in getting M&T II, you can join up here: https://us5.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=addf114e407ae6b960460a70e&id=03fee180e2 (https://us5.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=addf114e407ae6b960460a70e&id=03fee180e2)

Post by: THE CID on January 23, 2020, 03:41:06 PM: Will there be a figures only pledge as I don't game, only paint and collect.
Title: Re: Muskets & Tomahawks II - Nickstarter.
Post by: nicknorthstar on January 23, 2020, 10:59:37 PM: No.

But, all the figures will be at a Nickstarter special price, so it'll be worth buying in at the time.

Post by: infinite_array on January 25, 2020, 04:22:33 PM: Looking forward to seeing the updated rules.

My only request/hope is for a better quality set of activation cards, printed on poker sized cards, if that's still going to be to main activation method for the game.
Title: Re: Muskets & Tomahawks II - Nickstarter.
Post by: nicknorthstar on January 25, 2020, 05:25:10 PM: The cards will be better. The original set were from a regular printer, Studio Tomahawk have got the version II set from a card manufacturer.

Post by: infinite_array on January 31, 2020, 09:03:44 PM: Also in. Can we get a little more details on a couple aspects of the campaign - what material are the tokens made from, and whats in the Redcoats & Tomahawks book that makes it a seperate supplement?

I'm a little worried about M&T being expanded to cover two centuries worth of conflicts on multiple continents, when it worked so well for le petite guerre in North American in the mid to late 18th century.

That is how they do all their rules now. A core book and then a second supplement for a period specific set of army lists. That way the core rules are cheap and you only buy the period book you want

Post by: FlyXwire on January 31, 2020, 11:18:51 PM: I'm in - and starting an FIW winter collection.
Title: Re: Muskets & Tomahawks II - Nickstarter.
Post by: nicknorthstar on January 31, 2020, 11:45:54 PM: The tokens aren't here yet, but I believe they are thick printed card, like the Saga counters and measuring sticks. Congo, the other Studio Tomahawk game, has similar as well.

Redcoats and Tomahawks has the army lists in for F&IW, AWI and War of 1812. There are no army lists in the main rulebook. Like Saga II.
Title: Re: Muskets & Tomahawks II - Nickstarter.
Post by: FlyXwire on February 01, 2020, 12:56:49 AM: Nick, will the era supplements be released in chronological order?
Title: Re: Muskets & Tomahawks II - Nickstarter.
Post by: nicknorthstar on February 01, 2020, 09:49:51 AM: I don't think that's the plan. The next one is Napoleonics, which comes next I'm not sure about but the plan is for a Colonial book and an ACW book.

Post by: Ghost on February 01, 2020, 02:59:07 PM: Hello Nick, are the french and english armies equal in points ?
I've noticed that the english army is not the same between level 6 and level 5/4, any reasons ?
Title: Re: Muskets & Tomahawks II - Nickstarter.
Post by: nicknorthstar on February 01, 2020, 03:26:16 PM: Hi

Yes, both armies are just over 300 points. That's the minimum you need to play, and classed a skirmish force in the rules.

I'll check the British armies, cheers

Title: Re: Muskets & Tomahawks II - Nickstarter.
Post by: nicknorthstar on February 01, 2020, 04:39:11 PM: Studio Tomahawk commissioned them just for the Nickstarter, they'll never be for sale. They might appear in a future promotion, but probably not.
Mike Owen has also designed some Nickstarter only figures, they are in place for future Spend Goals.

Post by: Cat on February 02, 2020, 01:02:24 AM: How many figures per unit in this game?
Title: Re: Muskets & Tomahawks II - Nickstarter.
Post by: nicknorthstar on February 02, 2020, 10:14:19 AM: The number of figures per unit varies.
You need a minimum 4 Indians, a minimum 6 Irregulars and a minimum 8 Regulars. But you can add to them, usually upto 12 figures.
Title: Re: Muskets & Tomahawks II - Nickstarter.
Post by: Antonio J Carrasco on February 02, 2020, 10:37:45 AM: Well, I bit the bait and ordered a few models from the Nickstarter, mostly to complete certain gaps in my collection. So far I have painted 42 Iroquois and 12 Compagnies Franches de la Marine (Conquest Miniatures, now Warlord), 24 Provincials from the Virginia Regiment (Eureka Miniatures) and 12 British regulars and one officer (Galloping Major Miniatures, which tower over the other two ranges, but who cares). I have another 12 Provincials, 8 rangers and 8 British Regulars (all Galloping Major) in the pipeline; also I can increase my Compagnies Franches de la Marine with another 12 models (leftovers from the Warlord box). And now I have ordered in the Nickstarter 6 Highlander Lights (now I realize that I should have ordered 2 packs, as regulars are 8/12 models!), the 2 codes for Canadian Militias, and one blister of those British regulars in campaign look (a love at first sight!)

Post by: traveller on February 04, 2020, 12:44:48 PM: I haven’t git many d10, so I would be grateful if anyone could advice how many d10 dice will be needed for the game, 1 for each miniature, ie the maximum number equals the number of miniatures in your biggest unit?
Title: Re: Muskets & Tomahawks II - Nickstarter.
Post by: nicknorthstar on February 04, 2020, 01:04:13 PM: It's a dice per figure. I'd advise 12 dice?
Title: Re: Muskets & Tomahawks II - Nickstarter.
Post by: traveller on February 04, 2020, 05:18:35 PM: So, 12 per side=24?
Title: Re: Muskets & Tomahawks II - Nickstarter.
Post by: FlyXwire on February 04, 2020, 05:54:23 PM: Depending on the size or your dice (irregardless of what-siders they are), we often roll some combination twice, that arrives at the total dice needed to cast.

With M&T vI, 6 dice per side was fine, and then we just determined a combo to cast for the total stands involved in the fighting (using the same 6 dice to divi up for the total). We also use a dice tray, especially when playing on a full-board, fur-style mat.

I actually think players enjoy rolling two sets amounting to the total required (gives them 'another chance' to cast a better hand on their second throw around).
Title: Re: Muskets & Tomahawks II - Nickstarter.
Post by: nicknorthstar on February 04, 2020, 10:00:43 PM: We've hit the 4th Spend Goal in our Nickstarter Campaign. The chaps over at Cigar Box Battles have kindly donated one of their superb terrain mats as a prize, the one most suitable for the French & Indian War.

We'll be picking the winner in a prize draw tomorrow morning.

Had a look at their website and couldn't find the miniatures there either. Perhaps the imminent release of M&T mk II will encourage Badger Games to re-issue the figures : one can only hope.

Cheers for the answer Nick. The Black Hussar sculpts are very nice but since I've just ordered some of the Nickstarter F&W packs, I want the older set as well for the sake of consistency so that all the miniatures are Mike Owen's work.

Post by: nicknorthstar on February 06, 2020, 12:21:21 AM: I was only being silly about Black Hussar.
I will give Badger a prod. They will no doubt be taking Muskets & Tomahawks from me (I'm the exclusive distributor of the English language version, I bought the lot) so it'd be daft of them not to get the original figures out there.

Is that the Andrew Taylor who used to live in Coventry?
If yes I would just like to say, 'Hello' (lost touch some years ago)
I have come across several Andrew Taylors over the years.
It seems that if your name is Andrew Taylor the ability to paint very well
comes with the name. I am sorely tempted to change my name,
just to see if it would work for me.

Post by: Mindenbrush on March 25, 2020, 01:05:48 AM: A question for Nick - if I ordered my Nickstarter (rules, scenario book, cards & tokens) through Brigade Games, with the package becoming from the UK or the US?
I am in Mobile, Alabama.
Thanks,
Graham Wilkinson

The counters are in English on the other side ;)

Having the counters in French is a bonus for me - I can show them at the school club (whenever we may meet again) as proof that the game is educational.
I briefly considered ordering the rule book in French (but I think I will see if the school library can be persuaded on that one)

Going to need google translate for the counters lol but other than that I'm very pleased.
Two photos of figures I've painted in the main rules and a very nice acknowledgement from Studio Tomahawk
They made a welsh edition for you, Jeff? Know I really know that I know a famous Wargamer, Sir Jeff. :o I think they need a second or third parcel, because the welsh counters will be double or three times wider than the normal ones... :D

Post by: Mindenbrush on April 02, 2020, 01:54:17 AM: Mine arrived today from Lon, well packaged and after a wipe down I will break open the wrapping and start reading 👍

Post by: Juan on April 02, 2020, 09:55:03 AM: Yes the package is perfect. Mine arrived broken but the bubble wrap bag resisted very well!

And the book is really, really good!

Post by: craigjwoodfield on April 04, 2020, 10:08:31 PM: Got mine in Australia - lovely rule book, can't wait to play it.

BUT the Redcoats and Tomahawks book is ridiculously flimsy. I get the decision to go with softcover, but it is less durable then your average wargaming magazine! Already mone is a little dog eared. Disappointing in such an otherwise high quality production

Post by: NurgleHH on April 05, 2020, 09:32:00 PM: Jeff, I had “yr hen ddyn” and “Mae Dafydd wedi cymryd modur Rhiannon” in Mind. So the markers would become very big... ;)

Post by: syrinx0 on April 06, 2020, 01:58:14 AM: Mine arrived from Lon as well, very nice job on the packaging.

I see what Craigjwoodfield means. The cover of the supplements seems to be essentially the same weight paper as the interior pages. A clear report cover might be in order to keep this from getting too dog eared.
