Due to unaviodable financial difficulties, I have had to pull my pledge. I look forward to the retail release.

Sorry to hear it, hope you overcome those issues soon.

Each units of 5 infantry is mounted on a single base , I've been using on a 60mm base, (although a 40mm would work just as well). APCs and VTOLs use a 60mm base.

(there's two units of infantry per squad, so two bases per squad)

Round bases for infantry? Okay. Hmm, would 40x30mm rectangular bases cause issues/undue advantages in somewhat casual play? It's what my CMG stuff was supplied with and it seems not to be *too* far off from the 40mm you mention - also, it's a lot less bulky when stored!

Hm for 6mm would that translate as 20x20 round bases? Honestly it's nice to see more 6mm games promoting round bases!

On infantry the base sizes aren't really a priority so long as everything remains in a group. Infantry always act as a squad and never run around individually. For 6mm infantry I'd likely use a 25mm or 30mm base simply as it's a little bit less fiddly, 6mm mecha and vehicles will be on a 40mm base as a default. I have a ton of 30mm plastic bases from proxie miniatures so those will probably be what I use as my default. Not really particular on what the base sizes are so long as the mecha and other vehicles have a standardized set. As long as you are in agreement with your opponent feel free to use any bases you want.

Okay that makes sense. Don't know if you do much 6mm gaming though, but 40mm bases on vehicles EAT them in terms of space usually. I have some based on 20mm two pence coins and they fit nicely with a bit of room to spare. Just a heads up!

Thanks! Still sort of surprised at APC's on 60mm bases but I'll get over it

Well, I just put this back up over $15,000.

Well done! Seems like it may stay a bit flat then tick up at the end, same thing just happened with the Impact Kickstarter. As long as at least the other heavy is unlocked (preferably both) it should be fine from a playability standpoint.

What is this weird "pence" you speak of?

And yes, yay we're back over 15K.

I think the key to getting more dollars and keeping more dollars is having three factions "fully buyable" in this KS. I'm not including the quads in that category but Wendigo and especially the Blackwolf are essential. I think the Blackwolf is reasonably within reach considering a last day bump. I hope the Wendigo is/will be, too.

We could help Paulson Games begin work on another faction: The Netherlands.

Not sure what your link has to do with it, but that does sound fairly interestng. What are the faction allegiances anyway? Is it mostly a free-for-all, or what? Neo-Bloc vs NorAm obviously, but how does Blackfrost fit in?

Hah, that's hilarious.

It's just a thing talking about what would happen if a giant portal showed up on the bottom of the ocean and started draining out all the water (see: Pacific Rim) and how little the impact would be due to the simply staggering amount of water on the planet.

And while he's going over that, apparently the Netherlands become a rampaging force claiming territory across the planet.

We actually do have a bit more of a history of doing that than we get credit for, nowadays

Yeah, but I heard ya'll traded in your pointy hats and battleaxes for coffe mugs.

Yeah. They pack a mean punch at proper speeds, though

First speed skating, then the world!

These look quite interesting, but I didn't see any Quadrapeds among the models, which is what I would be looking for with this aesthetic.

They will definitely arrive at some point, whether in this KS or otherwise. The NorAm quad is the line's signature mech.

Yeah. The current efforts are aimed at funding the next 2 Heavy mechs (the light and medium mechs are good to go). The quads are past the Heavies, and will take some pretty significant funding levels to achieve.

Definitely not impossible, if nothing else you should checkmark the "remind me" star on the campaign and check in during the final days. Hopefully, like many other campaigns, the last few days will be good and spicy in terms of backer and funding numbers, and who knows what might happen then.

well I have upped my pledge to its final level after sitting down and doing some maths with my shopping list to $258 using the £130 pledge then adding: a mini dex, dice pack, 15mm faction deck, light Mecha X3, light weapon Pack X2 and medium weapon pack X2... that should keep me going until you finish the quads Paulson.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Should I add another $50 in the hopes that we unlock the quads? (20 for lights, 30 for mediums, 40 for heavies if the trend continues $50 should cover the quad Mecha)

thinking about it I can update my pledge using the questionnaire after the campaign is over but that will mean I haven't helped toward the quads......

I really hope we hit the 18K mark, or I might need to change my pledge at the last moment. I'm in for the $200 6mm package, but that is kind of reliant on being able to get a heavy of each faction.

Same boat SavageRobby.

Yes I agree (albeit in 15mm).

Hopefully the next couple days are just the remainder of the waiting period. The calm before the storm.

Those 48 hour reminder emails will go out 4pm (EST) on Monday? Tues/Wed hold promise to be pretty interesting.

We'll see but I'm not 100% sure we're going to get that bump. If we'd gotten to the heavies already maybe but I guess we'll see.

I fully agree that nothing is certain, but I'm something of a realist with optimistic tendencies.

Yup, a second Heavy is what i'm waiting for. If they don't it'll just mean bumping up two of the Combat patrols and making do fiddling with addons, but eh.
