I'm not normally into Weird WWII, but if it has got tentacles, I admit I could change my mind... The artwork looks really cool.

I'd really be interested to see some minis!

The art is fantastic!

I love nice art in gamebooks and this stuff would be worth getting for the art alone. They nailed it.
Indeed. I'm backing this one, hoping it will reach £24000 so they can print both books in colors.

Thanks guys! In fact there's miniatures coming as a Stretch goal later in the campaign, all hush hush for now though so secret squirrel and all that!

We just unlocked a secret £17k stretch goal giving everyone at £35 and upwards a free 98 page campaign PDF.

Also we are planning a miniatures supplement!

Wow almost at our second hard cover goal, we're working on a miniatures stretch goal for later on plus some very cool miniatures tiles!

Modiphius,

Excellent artwork, some of the best I have seen in a game for a while.

Any plans to support Trail of Cthulhu?

There's only one man to sculpt WW2 figures in my book and that's Paul Hicks, get him and they will come!

However once I'm on leave from the Pussers Gray this is a KS i'll be backing

Regards

Jim

Hi we're actually doing a Trail conversion of our first two adventures now, if that works okay and we hit a stretch goal for this we'll do a conversion.  Thanks our artist is so good we've got him on staff from July!

Ok this KS finally caught me eye with the Mountains of Madess campaign! I find the organization levels you have set up a bit difficult to understand, but I think I get it overall. Tell me this though before I buy in:  I see you have the "second" part of two adventures based on various funding goals, but what if you don't make those goals? What good is only having part 1 if part 2 never gets funding? Wouldn't it have been better to have a complete adventure at each level?

Also, is there a print copy of the main rule book available at some level? It looks like it may be an add on, but I can't tell for sure.

Hi there, we've actually completed the Shadows of Atlantis campaign with the 3rd stretch goal for it, the final third of Assault on the Mountains of Madness is due to hit it's goal this week (if for some reason we didn't hit it, it would be separate books and not as amazing art).

The print copy of the core book comes with the Print Master or the Print Keeper (remember it's a source book for Call of Cthulhu not stand alone rules)

Our latest update confirms we've unlocked the full 248 page Shadows of Atlantis campaign for Achtung! Cthulhu, free on PDF to all backers of the PDF Master Bonus level and upwards. We are now climbing towards the last goal to fully unlock the Assault on the Mountains of Madness campaign - here's another piece of concept art from Korungn.


We also announced a special bonus for reaching £50k - the Achtung! Cthulhu Secret War Documents Pack in PDF for all backers to help bring the world to life.



and of course the first Achtung! Cthulhu miniatures Stretch Goal is insight, which unlocks an Add On of a set of six stunning Allied investigator's, of which Professor Richard Deadman is the first!



Quite a mad day in all!
