Blood on the Sands - First look at the Wargames Atlantic gladiator sprue

Franco, 100 grand! Woohoo!!

Love the latest Stretch Goals. Will be in after 28 Feb.

Hope the stretch goals don't take over and you aren't victims of your own success.  A massive project can be harder to deliver than a moderate one.  Looking forward to getting it all in my grubby mitts though.

Well don't go and jinx it!! 
All looking very good as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks all - the KS campaign is going very well.

Navigating the pitfalls of Kickstarter is certainly a hazardous venture but I thankfully have an experienced associate in on this with me. It's certainly not for the faint hearted.

The Blood on the Sands Kickstarter is in it's last days.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bloodonthesands/arena

It's been an amazing ride and the support BotS has been shown has been humbling.

If anyone was thinking about backing and is still holding out - now would be a great time to get behind this. There are a few nice stretch goals to unlock.

The amazing crew over at Wargames Atlantic Digital have made us a downloadable STL pack of Roman spectators, available as an add-on in the Kickstarter. We are so grateful for the support of both Wargames Atlantic and Sarissa Precision.

The spectators are such a great idea! They look cool Frank! 

Are they the ones you used?

[Furt]

Yeah they are very nice Matt!

No I did not have access to these files when I made my arena.

Hi will there be a late bid for the kickstater it says so on your page but there is no place to put in a late bid on the kickstater page.

The pledge manager will be opened soon and you will be able to make a late pledge.

If you are on Facebook you can join the Player's Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/339066415451207 where we will announce when it will go up. I'll try to post here too.

Thanks
Would love to late pledge, and as many I just cannot go on Facebook for so many reasons, but will mark the kickstater so I get info when you update.

[wkeyser]

Looking at the Kickstarter page and the updates it is rather disappointing that most are for backers only, I would have liked to seen more content as some one interested in the game but not having joined the kickstarter!  I missed the boat on this one as I only just saw the game on kickstarter after it had closed.  However seeing most of the updates for backers only it was rather annoying and have not seen this done other kickstater campaigns.

Still will join when the pledge manager opens hopefully allowing me to late pledge.

Any news of when the pledge manger will go live?

Any news of when the pledge manger will go live?

We made a KS update late last week:

"The pledge manager will be delayed for several months to minimise any risks arising from uncertainty in the current state of global trade. Work on the game is continuing apace, and we will have a revised set of 'quick start' rules for release fairly soon. There is no anticipated delay to the production timeline, and everyone will still have ample opportunity to purchase additional copies of the game and various add-on items during the (later) pledge manager. Thanks for your patience!"

So basically, to cover ourselves and our backers we aim to open the pledge manager as close to production time as we can. Crazy times...

[wkeyser]

I really wish you would open the updates for every one like most other kickstaters. It is really annoying, unless you have free downloads for backers it makes no sense and particularly if you would like those of us who missed the kickstater to late pledge.

Please change the settings for the updates.

I will see about opening them to the public.
