(KICKSTARTER) Across the Dead Earth - Pre-Orders Now Live! (UD 14/06/14)

[Quendil]

Barring any issues of approval, which I don't anticipate, it will run from 1st March to 31st March, so hopefully should cover everyone's pay days! 

Wahoo!

Loved the batrep and photos. Are you planning to add a separate game flow chart/cheat sheet for the rules as part of the kickstarter?

Commissarmoody you were definitely right. Good call. Still laughing over the last bit.

You mean like a handy summary/basic game play sheet? We hadn't really thought about it but I don't see why not. Looking up what the event cards do is the most common use of the rulebook I encounter in our games. characters's stats, abilities and weapons are all on their cards.
So, sure, will do!

Richie,  Will the KS cover the rules, the minis or both?

[Adm Richie]

Both or either, as there will be pledge levels for the rules either as PDF or softcover, 2 gangs of 5 and 6 figures, and a starter set of the book+figs including exclusive mercenary, or the same but just pdf (save a little on postage for non-uk).

Very cool.  Do you have suggestions for other minis that may match up well size wise until your line if beefed up?

This might sound crazy but I had the sculpts in my possession for so little time I never even put them on a table next to other mini's!  I literally just took them out of the package and drove to the casters! 

Hopefully have some metals tomorrow - if not then early next week, and I'll stick some pics up then next to some others.

I didn't mean to cause trouble, I just find it funny that RPG equated to the US.  You see, we really don't have RPGs being used even in our roughest neighborhoods, nor out in the sticks where I live.   I suspect it would be a lot easier to get hold of an old M72 LAW or even an AT4 than an RPG (unless you have cartel connections in Mexico and can get one smuggled up).   Even then, anti-tank rockets of any type just are damned near impossible to get in the US, even illegally.   RPGs are kind of a staple in the Middle East and in parts of what used to be the USSR, but they are not anything you typically find in the US.

Thanks guys (and Capt I didn't read your comments as intent to cause trouble).

Now we've with stepped back from the abyss that is 'talking politics' let's be sure to keep all future posts that way.
