(KICKSTARTER) Empress Modern

[carlos marighela]

You might be. Jim and I are talking about the past and the Real Cold War (TM) Showing our age no doubt. But that's for another time and another thread.

We return to our normal programming......

Judging by the sculpts, those Chinese are going to be very chilly fighting Russians in winter.

[Shipka]

A big resounding yes to Chinese and also perhaps Japanese, maybe so e Taiwanese

Chinese marines

Thanks for sharing the pic. 
Oh and just to make one last request for US Army. I would like to see a walking 240 crew, a javelin armed grunt, a mark 48, a trooper armed with a punisher and a turrent gunner. You know nothing big.
Just a small simple request

so whats happening to this kickstarter

I would imagine a great deal of planning, consideration of options, weighing up of its viability and commissioning of greens etc... we've all seen where starting a Kickstarter based purely on a concept and nothing else ends up, after all.

Be patient! It's Empress, it will be good.

[Keith]

Things are moving forward quickly.
There's been a very useful period of talking to existing (and potentially new) customers via email and at recent shows. Much of the feedback will be incorporated into the Kickstarter. 

[Slayer]

great to hear things are happening behind the scenes

[jdeleonardis]

Im really excited about this.  This will be a popular Kickstarter.

Don't forget, that China also borders Afghanistan. Who is to say once NATO pull's out, that The PLA wont move in?

Maybe the only people the "Don't get involved in a land war in Asia" doesn't apply to?

Gracias,

Just an update.

We are still working hard on developing this but are very close now to launching. Should be little over a week now. 

[commissarmoody]

Great to hear.

[Cypher226]

Awesome. Need some of the Chinese after watching Tomorrow when the war began and reading the Invasion America novels 

[commissarmoody]

Is "Invasion America" as grown worthy as "Tomorrow when the war began" is? If So I can not wait to read it!

Nevadans seem to delight in reading something that may offend or annoy.

Twenty-three years ago I was on an inbound flight to Las Vegas, reading a copy of Fear and Loathing in LV. The guy next to me noticed the cover and demanded to know what it was about, so I handed over the book, with a brief rejoinder about it being the archetypal example of Gonzo journalism. As he skimmed through it I noticed his expression change from mildly perplexed to decidedly irritated and his face start to mottle red.  Grunts of apparent disapproval followed by a  'is this guy for real?' came from my fellow passenger. Fortunately we were landing so we never got the opportunity to expand on the topic. It was a vaguely Thompsonesque moment all of itself.

Amusing city, though I hear it's become a lot more 'family friendly' in the intervening years. Almost got married there but that's another story.
