1933 A Nation Divided "Kickstarter" goes live

[B.E.A.R]

I pledged and I have already started writing up some history or my little part og Georgia, Dade county. I have never wanted a kick-starter to succeed more!

[Mina]

Great, thank you!

[commissarmoody]

Looking forward to see what you come up with B.E.A.R

[B.E.A.R]

I do have a question though, how do your sculpts match up with Pulp Figures? I have some of the pulp 30's USMC?

[Mina]

They should match up just fine.  The figs Leandro did for the Shanghai range fit in well on the tabletop with our Pulp Figures, as I recall.  And these are the same sculptor & same scale.  I'll try to get a pic of one of our existing products next to a Pulp Figure in the next couple days so you can see the comparison.

[B.E.A.R]

Thanks!

[Mina]

For those of you who are excited about writing part of the history... we've just added a new pledge level as a limited (5-person) reward!

Want to play a role in the development of our story? Don't want to wait until Letters From The Front is ready for publication? Here's your chance to join us as a co-author!

SONS OF THE OLD WORLD: YOUR COUSINS IN AMERICA NEED YOU! ($90)

Do you think your country of birth should have its say in how the war goes? Is there an obscure unit of Coastal Artillery that a beloved uncle served in that deserves to see some action? Does the unit you served in need to play a prominent role in the early years of the war? This is your chance to make sure it happens. At this level, you will not only be contributing directly to the goal of funding our project, but play a direct role in the production thereof. Five individuals backing at this level will be given credit as co-authors and given the opportunity to write up a fully official background article and gaming suggestions for any unit of their choice. (Subject to proofreading, and we do reserve the right to make a few alterations if it strays too far from the theme we've established.) In addition, you'll receive all of the rewards of the $80 level!

Enough Lurking, I'm in.

Business is about to pick up 

[Arlequín]

Asking for the input of other authors is to be applauded... but we generally get paid to write, occasionally I might do some 'pro bono', or as word count combined with a percentage of total sales but actually paying to contribute is a brand new concept to me.

When I saw this I knew I couldn't just sit back and watch this project any longer, I had to get in on it! I'm looking forward to getting a unit from my hometown into the war!

All - a new backer level has been added and the price of getting yourself (or a loved one, ancestor, etc.) sculpted as one of the figures in the range has been reduced! 

TO THE VICTORS GO THE SPOILS.

By popular request, another opportunity to make your mark in the ongoing story that is the Second American Civil War. You may write a scenario for miniatures gaming that will be included in 1933: A Nation Divided. You may create an engagement of your choosing, determine the combatants involved, and determine the outcome, as well as providing a scenario for replaying the battle you've created and the forces involved. (We reserve the right to proofread your scenario and, if necessary, to ask you to make revisions 'No, I'm sorry, you can't have a Tiger popping through a magical time portal from 1943 to wreck havoc in St. Louis.') We will help you along the way with any questions and background information you may need. In addition, you will receive all the benefits of the $80 level, plus a co-author's credit in the book!

IN addition, we have reduced the level of the top backing award from $500 to $400. Get yourself or a loved one sculpted in miniature. LITERALLY be a part of the action on the tabletop

Well folks, it seems that sadly the kick starter isn't going to cut it this time, so its been taken down. I am still an avid fan of the idea of the idea of 1933 and would really love to see it and the mins come alive on thw table top but, it seems that its not to be at this time.
