I also have some not-FO minis from Bro V and really need to get them into action! These smaller scale games are the one that really motivate me when it comes to painting.

Think the rules would actually be ideal for FO for the tabletop - and you have that collection of minis from Brother Vinni (and many others that would be fit for purpose) available

Have anyone in Europe gotten their book?

May take some time yet, people in the UK are slowly getting them though, outside of the UK.. hopefully some will get theirs before the end of the week.

You mean Fallout?

Thats exactly what I'm doing. I'm playing an NCR Ranger warband (Peacekeepers). I've also got a pretty big Vault 53 warband (Caravanners), a small Brotherhood of Steel warband (Presevers), have made a start on some Tribals (Mormon converts similar to Joshua Graham's tribe) and have got miniatures for Raiders, Mutants and Settlers (a warband which has been hinted at for future releases).

I waited a week after they mentioned to wait a week at the time of the update and they said to wait another week...

I acknowledge this sucks, but because of the customs SNAFU we had to ship in the middle of the Christmas season. The wait times are aberrational, but I really hope things start to arrive this week. Our fulfiller told us all packages were sent out in one large block and various folks have received their packages, so hopefully the others are just working their way through the bottleneck.

It is my sincere hope this should come to a happy conclusion very soon, but I understand if folks get frustrated. Free free to contact me directly if you would like to discuss further.

All the best.

I'm cool with it, just can't wait to get my post apocalyptic grubby mitts on the shiny book!!

I got mine the week before Christmas.And I'm in the UK (North of England).

New update, looks like push came to shove or something.

Deadlines for EU/UK Shipping

First, I want to thank people for their patience in regards to our shipping issues. We have delivered over 95% of the Kickstarter, but that last 5% is killing us. As such, I am asking everyone who has not yet received their package to wait until Saturday. If you receive nothing by that day, please contact me via my email at joey@worldsendpublishing.com and I will begin shipping replacements immediately. I don't know if things are bottlenecking, dumped in the ditch by an errant delivery employee, or eaten by mutants, but I want to do right by folks and sort this out. Unfortunately, we don't have tracking numbers to offer, so we really can't hunt the things down to much. Also, if you are not Europe or the UK and you have not received your package, please contact me immediately so we can also sort you out. All the best everyone and I hope to see pictures of you all holding your books very soon.

All the best.

Was going to wait until the end of January myself, seeing as how UK postal services are not as up to spec as they used to be, but fair enough.

Received my copy in the mail today!

Feel dreadful sorry for those still waiting and especially for Joey McGuire who is very much on top of things himself and can only stand by in frustartion as some of his backers wait and wait.

But rest assured, it will be worth the wait!

Is the book A4 sized or smaller?

I'm glad I checked this thread now! I haven't received mine and didn't realise this was the situation.

It is A4 - full color, HC, clocks in at 170 pages. Binding is a bit wonky - pages are not glued to the inside of the cover spine, just held in by the pasteboards glued to the cover - ominous. Pages are coarse rather than slick - perhaps a thematic choice? Lots of inspirational pics and art, color is rich. They text layout looks very professional, although I obviously haven't spent much time with the text.

Interesting, thanks for sharing!

Will be interesting to see how much different the layout will be from the digital rulebook, seeing as that was done in A5 size, or along those lines. Could be wrong there though.

Inetersting! Text is nice and clear but looks to be 10-11 pt sans serif, not large print or anything.

Book is standard US letter size 8.5x11 inches for paper size. I can't speak for the binding, so far so good, but the pages are not slick because there was no other options. A lot of us small companies use a single print on demand service and they don't offer fancy page options. I would have loved to done gloss pages personally. Things like that are available if you go with a more traditional printer and running 1000's of copies. Something beyond the scope of our current work. We used the same service the Wargames Vault uses if that helps.

Hope that offers some insight.

Joey

Thanks.

Is it going to be available to buy at retail in the uk?

Once all Kickstarter backers have received their pledges IIRC.

USA actually. Ordered the book almost as soon as you posted it for sale at New Year's. Ordered some minis from you as well a while back, including some roaches:

Post came and no book, sadly had to email. :(

I'm going to wait until Tuesday myself, seeing as there's been a big fire near our sorting centre last night, which resulted in a power failure that still hasn't been fixed and as such, hardly any mail at all today, meaning a massive backlog on Tuesday.

Just a quick note, that there is a very good chance packages to the UK and Europe are still being delayed and that if anyone wants to continue to wait, your patience is very much appreciated. Replacing items and international shipping are not cheap! Our last last update is just a notification that no one should feel guilty at this point if they would like to see a replacement shipment being sent out. And honestly, as a consumer I would start getting anxious too. Thanks to everyone for being awesome and understanding.

I'll give it till next Saturday, that should be plenty of time to get to me.

I've decided to wait until the end of the month myself, I've waited this long, what's another three weeks? Plus I'd rather be damned sure before sending it in and wind up having doubles.

I think I'll also wait till the end of the month.

As my package was being sent to my work place, and we were closed between Christmas and new year, I'm hoping they remembered to put a return address on them.

I must say though, Royal Mail would have been a better courier. Sending them with MyHermes was distribution suicide. :(

My replacement arrived, very happy with it!

Did it arrive via Royal Mail or Hermes? Also, no customs fees I assume?

I'm assuming Royal Mail because apparently there was a knock on the door and the person delivering it ran off before anyone who was in could answer the door (I was out shopping).

No customs fees on my end, though I feel bad about the apparent shipping cost.

After reading the comments section today I've also decided to ask for a replacement, as we've been asked to by the creator and well, I'd rather not be the one to wait another two weeks, then find out that stock is gone or something like that.

Does make you wonder where it all went wrong though.

My stuff came today so it made me a happy bunny! I'm massively excited by this game but the quality of the book was disappointing, the back cover is warped, the inside pages form a kind of S which makes it hard to easily turn the pages and the pages look like they will rip/tear if you turn a page to fast! However the artwork is fantastic and layout is great as well as the quality of the photos. I also got the bottle caps, stickers and pin up reference cards which the quality of them is good. I hope this hits retail so it can be opened up to a wider marker and gain more recognition but the material quality of the book needs to be massively improved.

Just noticed at the back of the book that it was printed by a print on demand company in the UK, in Milton Keynes which is 20 mins drive away from me. If this is true I may ask for a replacement book.
