I assume you will have some sort of minimum buy to get the stretch goals.

They could also be add-ons at a reduced price given you plunk down so much in your pledge.

Or both.

Any general feeling of how you plan to do this?

Hi Ray,

For every hundred dollars or four packs you will get one of the stretch goals for free. All stretch goals will also be available as add-ons.

Congratulations on the kickstarter going live - love the figures and was really looking forward to getting involved - but with the figures over £4 each and the free add on being only one figure if you spend over £80 - then sadly I will have to give it a miss :'(
Hopefully the range will continue to grow.

Love the designs but $28 seems a little steep for 5 infantry models. May have to wait and maybe buy a few later once the kickstarter has run its course. Seems like the goal has been reached anyway-which is great. Very happy to see this range do well :)

I was going to pledge anyway, but now I see it is already funded and my $200+ will get me two stretch goals into the bargain!
My only worry is that I will get hit for customs being in the UK.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Also would like to thank you for this project and support of VSF.

Thanks for your support. I also updated shipping to take care of 50% of the cost for folks spending 100 dollars or more, because it gives me the wiggle room to do so. There are some real fun stretch goals coming and I am sure you will be amused..

You welcome and it has been an expensive pleasure getting the range going. The clockwork mule for the artillery is probably one of the coolest pieces of the range and is just beautiful. Images should be this week.

Thanks again for the support..

Well... you know what they say about how you get a million dollars in the miniatures business... You start with 2 million dollars...  ;)

If it's anything close to how the horses came out it should make a pretty big splash.

Just a reminder bump for anyone who missed it that the project is now

EU FRIENDLY

So no customs or other tax worries, it'll be shipped from me in Wales, so you are free to go crazy with your pledges ;-)

Congratulations for reaching target and I hope you get even more support to achieve some of the extras.

From lessons and observations from other KS projects, communication on the KS page is crucial.

I note you've taken time to provide replies on the Comments posted up - well done, so many creators stall on that. However, don't forget your Updates section too - it's especially important as sometimes, this is an area that non-backers can access to check up on progress, and putting up a few messages really helps - even if it's only one per week. It means visitors to the project page still see some impetus, and that can convince some of them to jump on-board in the latter stages as the project reaches the deadline.

Great to see the success. My hope is that at some later date, these will be available for normal retail, but best wishes regardless  :)

Thanks for the well wishes and the advice.. It was funny that I planed a huge update several days ago with images as well and Kickstarter had this wierd problem where you could not upload images...Some other sites were experiencing it as well. Hopefully it is working today...

Is there a way to buy packs with no cavalry at all?

Fellow beast,

I'm fairly certain the individual packs are divided into foot, cavalry, and artillery. I'll admit the wording is not completely clear, but I'm used to dealing with Star Fleet Battle players...  lol
