Dracula's America.

We will, we're 15 pounds off and I have an order to put in before Monday...

YESSSSS!!! 

[dartfrog]

Think we are 515 short. Target is 12500. Still deciding if I get more myself.

[Kommando_J]

Damn, I thought the target was Ł12,000...will have to do my bit anyway.

[dartfrog]

It might be a close run thing, but I hope we make it. Means I'll get 3 special figures  .

From a recent Tweet from North Star Miniatures,  the current BEST SELLING FIGURE of the Dracula's America line is...

And here at a recent post at the Osprey's blog, Dracula's America author Jonathan Haythornthwaite has run through the different Posses:

You know, two factions that I'd love to see would be a Dogman Pack and Sasquatch Troop...going with some of the cryptids as part of it.

I am going to ask a rather silly question, but I seem to recall reading somewhere that posses are limited in the number of longarms they may have is this true or as the rotgut messed with my mind

[dartfrog]

Not sure, it seems the basic posse is limited to a few, however if building your own I think you can have as many as wanted.

[Kommando_J]

As I understand it, your starting possee in a campaign can have up to two long arms, no restrictions after or for one off games.

Makes sense to me, in any skirmish game long arms tend to dominate so beginning games are just long range snipes.

I've got to make the decision as to what extras I'm going to get before day ends. Seems we haven't moved much on the total, assuming Nick has upgraded us to the current total.

@SOTF: 'Dogmen' will be lurking in the bayous of book 3, in the guise of the Loup-Garou. Think of them as a cross between backwoods hunters and the 'dog-faced men' (and women) from historical travelling shows...
A Sasquatch Troop would be very nice indeed- I might very well write up a Faction list for them at some point as extra material!   They would make great opponents for an idea I had for a clan of cannibalistic/ghoulish mountain men (a la Ravenous) lurking in the mountains and forests...

@Delta Blue: Dartfrog and Kommando-J have the right of it! A starting Posse is limited to no more than 2 of each weapon (besides pistols) purely to keep things as balanced as possible early on- as you advance, you will be able to purchase whatever weapons you like!
Having said that, it seems this is worrying a few folks with a lot of longarms in their collection- early next week I'll have a word with the Osprey folks and see if we can't post the musket rules (intended for book 2) soon after SOTW is out so you can use them (like pistols, you aren't limited in the number of Muskets available to a starting Posse!)...

@Dartfrog: This month has gone fast! Just wanted to say thanks muchly to you and everybody else who chipped in on the Nickstarter!  
I'm not sure whether the total gets updated over weekends- it would be nice to see the Chupacabra unleashed; they are fun little nuisances that can make for entertaining situations where you desperately try to keep them away from your Downed guys (they prefer sleeping/unconscious prey, after all!)...

[Kommando_J]

The total has been reached Nick just doesnt update until monday .

[dartfrog]

Blood sucking scumbags for all!!!

Would be nice to get the musket rules out early. I understand that Osprey has the whip hand on this though.
