Yes Rick - it's a sprue. There will be two.

Wow - that's fantastic news just on its own!
Amazing job Furt bringing all this together.

A dream come true!
Honestly, I dreamed of it, after all these years of development.

Bravo Frank, what a lesson in will and tenacity.
Be sure I'm already "all in" and ready to spread the news.

An update from Frank on the BotS Facebook Group :

I want to update you regarding the Kickstarter launch for Blood on the Sands. We are currently targeting early February 2025 for our launch date, so that we can take advantage of a relatively quiet period on Kickstarter (the holidays) to polish everything up.
We believe this shift will give the campaign a better chance of success and allow us to reach more potential backers without the holiday rush getting in the way.
We’re also ready to share the tentative price for the 2-player boxed game, which will be $98 USD. This box will include everything you need to play the game: miniatures, play sheets, hex-grid arena, custom dice, cards, tokens, and a copy of the rules. No additional purchases will be required to play, other than glue and paint for the minis.
Thanks again for your ongoing support and patience. Your feedback and enthusiasm have been invaluable, and we’re looking forward to bringing Blood on the Sands to life with your help!

[Furt]

I'm so excited to finally announce that Blood on the Sands will go to Kickstarter on 11 February!  This has been a LONG time coming with the first BotS post made on the LAF in March 2013?! https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=51608.0

If you’d like to support us, we’d greatly appreciate you sharing this announcement with anyone who might be interested. There is some exciting miniatures news coming in the following days

Thank you once again to everyone who has supported and shown interest in Blood on the Sands over the years - it is truly appreciated.

Great job.
This project has been a very long time in the works - I remember playing early versions of it about 10 years ago
Looks like you have found a brilliant way to finally bring it to full fruition and a much wider market. Well done
