Hi Nick
I hope you are well.
I have a question about Silver Bayonet Egypt .
The question is about the relevent monsters .
It would be very good to know at least what monsters are in the first 3 or 4 Scenarios.
Right now I am keen to place an order ... BUT..I have no idea what order and or which monsters to order ?
For example the big scorpion model .. does that appear in Scenario 1 or 2 .. or does it turn up in scenario 8.??
Having at least some idea where we are placed s would also boost your potential sales.
I for one wont order any models until I can review the book , however If I new I need 4 skeletons and 2 mummies for the first 3 scenrios , then i would order such .
Your thoughts ?
Cheers

Hi VonAkers

It's been a long discussion at North Star whether to do scenario packs or not. In the end we've gone for not, but to just make the monsters that are needed (as far as possible) and let gamers choose what they want.

Scenario one illustrates the conundrum. You need Zombie Camels to play, but they only appear when a player 'plays' a Monster Dice. So how many Zombie Camels do we supply? Same with the Giant Scorpion, it's related to a clue marker. If both sides destroy each other and never claim the clue, it won't be in the game.

I even thought one time about doing the figure releases after the book release, but actually the book/ figure launches are so popular it's better to do it this way.

Cheers
Nick

Hi Nick,
I placed an order for this. Now I see that 2 zombie camels are needed. How can I add another one to my order in time and not pay full postage for 1 figure? Thanks.
Regards,

[nicknorthstar]

Yes, order another Camel. Mention it in your notes and we'll refund your postage.

Having dealt with Nick in the somewhat distant past, I can affirm him to be a scholar and a gentleman. He made the cross-briny transactions relatively painless. However, a tif between a former president's administration and Royal Mail added a whole new level of pain of cost.

With his kind indulgence, I will point out that Brigade Games carry Silver Bayonet and figs for the USA audience (Egypt and figs on preorder now.)

Do check with your FLGS, though, as I may have seen a book in a shop, though I don't recall hearing of a US distributor.

Exile leaves one so out of touch.
