I think it's a bit premature to cut off the expansion goals. At some point you say, "No more", but you want put that at the 11th hour. This has been very successful and I bet 1-2 more goals could have been popped in to keep everyone hopping.

Can someone repost the details of the CMON stratch manager or whatever it is?

Like many of us, my budget is blown, though there's more cool loot I want to add, and if they'll leave it open a couple of weeks, I'll be able to sort it all out.

I don't know what happen with Zombicide but for example Mantic posted a farewell message with the last target that went to the roof in just a few hours and they had two extra goals after that. For me the last two stretch goals are really unexciting. I understand they are free but getting them or not it's really mehhh. The optional extras on the other hand, I love the robots but at the moment the budget is overstretched and I can get them later in resin for a few more bucks so I will probably get them at a later stage.

From what I can work out, the CMon bid manager is a separate site that allows you to manage your order and buy extra sets or models for about 30 days after the closure of the Kickstarter project.

Almost 3/8's of the way to the new goal in 10 hours. Not bad at all. Now if I can only find out if there is a limit on the suits like some of the other promos....

I messaged them asking just that a few hours ago - will post here if I get a response!

Heuy, Duey, and Louie Achived.

And the pin up is a bag of cool, as well.


Tapped in for two so far, waiting on the next snack.

Why yes, I will have two of those fighty robot suits, Mr McVey.

Out of interest, I wonder whether we're likely to get non-gridded "ordinary" tabletop rules for Sedition Wars sometime in the future?

$550k

Only $50k more to go!

Yeah they are making a killing. Some better stretch goals would be nice though!

Aye, I'd hate to think that what we've seen so far is it. If this keeps going, that 600k will be in the bag by tomorrow leaving 1-2 days left. Either they have something up their sleeves, they don't want to do anymore or perhaps they're potentially underestimating how high this could go?

I am actually wondering if they will do a stretch goal where you get all the strain version of the characters they have been adding. Saving everything to one last push could work I guess

I for one would like to see a batch of those mutants.

Other then that, I want to get me a load of that space hallway scener and space out the rooms.

I see a lot of that foamcore stuff that I was working on for Incursion getting finished, too.

The $1,000,000 stretch goal - Everyone gets a clone of Mike McVey to paint all their models for them!

I am in . Specially if it keeps painting my other models after finishing the biohazard set

yeah,
So far I've pledged enough for Bio Hazzard, P&P & terrain and 1 x $10 extra... I was going to go for ripley.
But I think I'll switch that to more drones since someone in the KS comments said hurley can produce one drone per turn with no limit on the number of drones.

Plus they look cute.

Panic...

Really? Then I might get some more as well.

Damn you Panic... makin' me buy more stuff!

So for those who pledged for Zombicide, how did CKPM work? Was it through the CMON site or email or what? I understand it'll let us buy the KS exclusives after funded, but what's the specifics?

Because I really want to add back in the Terrain set and a couple THI suits when I get more money in the middle of the month...

The actual quote on Kickstarter is from CMoN

The mini-drones are an unlimited resource for Hurley but she can only pop one out at a time, and they're quite fragile.

Which implies that it's probably not going to be an issue only having six... but it's always best to be on the safe side though

the Head-Crabs aren't in the main box game at all, but will be featured in some extra rules/scenarios coming soon (ish)

Bonecrabs aren't in the base game, they're a bit of fun with additional rules coming from Rob.

So who knows how many of those things you'd ever expect to see in one go.

See I've already got ideas to adapt this into some sort of grand strategy X-Com game, so the limitations within the actual rules don't bother me.

For Zombicide the normal Kickstarter confirmation stuff came first and later they emailed a link to their page that let you re-confirm your extras (and t-shirt size, etc). I think It had all the stuff you had already said you wanted checked off. If there was no extra money owing you basically clicked OK and were done. If you wanted more it took you to a pay page. I don't think you could take less than your pledge.

The big question is will it let you choose all the optional extras even if you choose none at the beginning? Or it just has a small selection of the extras?

For Zombicide I'm pretty sure all the extras were there. (Though I don't think they ever posted a limit like Sedition Wars has)

Could you go back later and add more after clicking OK the first time? Or do you wait to do that until you feel like/are capable paying for the additional extras?

"we'll do a separate head for Jada to fit in the suit"

That means I'll have to get a third one. Oh for crying out loud...

To be honest, I was set on my original choices and didn't need to change anything. I'm not sure if you could go back again after using the CMON confirmation page. That said, there was a month between the Kickstarter closing and the KS confirmation, and then another month after that for the CMON confirmation. Also, they seemed pretty relaxed about helping people get what they want. So even after 2 months to think it over/dig up some extra money I think they'd let you add more as long as some final deadline hadn't passed.

Sounds cool, thanks for the help!

Plan on it, because you know we're hitting that goal...and then some!

Do we know for certain if they will release downloadable cards for existing miniatures like the Power Suits? Because if they are, I can budget better and maybe wait and get the metal ones and play them with downloadable cards when the game ships, and spend that on the other characters.

Otherwise, I have to get at least one for the card it comes with, and wait until March to play with them.
