Muskets & Tomahawks II - Nickstarter.
« 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

Cheers
Nick

No.

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

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.

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.

I just got the NS newsletter with a link to the Nickstarter, which worked for me. Not sure if it will work if i post it here (or even if I should) but will do what I deem the decent thing:

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
