Let us know what you think and we cannot wait to get these Gaming Battle Boards to you.
FAQ:

1.How high are the boards? 2cm

2.Are the boards Hollow? Yes but there is a cross section underneath

3.Have you made tests on how much weight a board can carry before it deforms/bends down)? We have tested up to 15KG per board. Clears stress test. Enough for all your heavy models. Just don't sit on it or stand on it for too long =P. We will do higher KG stress tests, but we are not sure if that is worth doing unless you tell us other wise =P... Do you have models heavier in total that 15 KG combined on a 12" by 12" board? if so let us know and we will test higher levels of stress.

4. Every Gaming Board will have 2 extra clips in addition to full amount you need to the board.

5. Each board is 12" by 12" (Inches)

Best!

Looking forward to the kickstarter... when you guys launching it? I have heard soon for this week, and was wonder if it has solidified up.

Thanks Edweird, should be any day now. Just waiting to publish it! =) We are hoping as soon as and will make an announcement. Thank you for you support and interest.

Sincerely,

yeah,
Well that was very fething exciting...
.. I'm not sure what I just watched though?? /jk

Battle Boards Yay! they look very cool.

When are going to show people what exactly it is you are selling and how much it will cost etc...


Panic...

Dear Painc,

Great questions.

Firstly price: A 48" By 48" Games & Gears Gaming board will be 80.00GBP including shipping to the USA, EU, Canada & Australia

A 48" by 72" Games & Gears Gaming board will be 100.00GBP including shipping to the USA, EU, Canada & Australia.

All prices with stretch goals will be on Kick Starter very soon. All our gaming boards are attachable. If we attain stretch goals you will also get X amount of gaming tray and then felt dice trays to roll your dice on (you no longer have to roll on the board) and allot more very exacting stuff more to come.

as we make these ourselves we can offer these prices. One of our goals is to provide top quality @ real prices. Because we want every home to have one of these and make our wargaming hobby more accessible to everyone. All gaming boards are attachable.

Our first wave will be on Kickstarter very soon!! the rest of our products which we already have 18 months to release will be done via the traditional way.

However to for us to do this we need a successful kickstarter your support and pledge would not only mean the world to us but will give Birth to Games & Gears.

Best!

Have you got a website or something that we can browse/read through for us unfortunates at work? I can't really view flashy videos as nice as they may be...

Dear filbert,

Try: http://www.facebook.com/GamesNGears. Hope you like it!! Thanks Filbert. Great sigs.

Best!

yeah,
I'm interested and look forward to the KickStarter to see exactly what's happening.
What stuff is made of etc!

Panic...

Any chance of some pictures for the work blocked ( from both you tube and facebook)?

Sure will endeavor to post some pics today for you all. =D


Best!

yeah,

I pulled these photos from their facebook.





Painted or unpainted



board/card games...





Panic...

edit... messed up the tags ... I've not had this mornings caffeine yet...

Cheers, what are they made out of? They look like injection moulded hard styrene open boxes.

Do they attach to one another to reduce movement? (I guess this may be addressed in the YouTube vid, but alas, looking at YouTube would irrevocably degrade my work output)

Sorry for the delay in response and thank you Panic. Thank you sir!!

They are made of High Grade hard plastic. We have the latest machines & tech with design to produce beautiful texture on our Games & Gears Boards.

Best!!

They attach steadfast and tightly together so there is no movement. =).

Lastly, the video is a teaser. A full length feature will give more details

Before I forget. All Games & Gears clip come with the Games & Gears Gaming Boards with the prices quoted above. All prices will be listed on our Kickstarter.

Best!

I wish you had a more 'generic' urban looking terrain version, and/or maybe a more generic 'green fields' looking version too.

As they are now, they're almost a bit too 'specific' looking for me.

I do like the board game version though...

Looking forward to the Kickstarter proper, and seeing what's what.

Good luck!

Looks really cool. Really like the cracked earth one in particular, seems like itd be very flexible. Could easily paint a muddy color and flock a bit for a grassy look too, Will likely be buying two 4x6 ones if prices are what you are advertising =). Much cheaper and more flexible than the GW one.

I agree to some degree, would like to see a desert-y one and a paved/street one as well. Would be cool if you did something where you could transition from one type to another as well. Just some ideas.

Dear Alpharius,

Thank you for you comments! Have you seen our Field of War Battle board?

We will have the full length feature video on Kickstarter. Further more we all come from a community background in the hobby. So your ideas, what you want in the future is all great stuff for us. Since each design you see has been hand drawn then converted to 3D and so on.

We are also looking into doing specific boards for gaming companies too as there is allot of interest.

However to bring this all to life it starts @ Kickstarter. So your support and everyone else's will bring life to Games & Gears & the 18 months of products we have lined up already!

Best!

!!!! I cannot confirm or deny, but ask you all kindly wait for the main video =D. Although your foresight is very scary =P.

Yes the prices are 100% confirmed and includes free shipping to the destinations mentioned above. Also a 48" by 96" will be 160.00GBP. The other prices for smaller Games & Gears boards are posted above.

Note: There is allot of products to unlock via kickstarter so it will be allot of stuff if this becomes a community backed success. We can give real prices, because it is the right thing to do. By the community & for the community, absolutely.

Best,

I'm very interested in this as I love new game boards especially since these aren't foam as I don't use foam terrain anymore

it's a very interesting idea... I'm put off by scary foreign currency, because 80 USD is totally within my impulse buy zone, but 130 USD is not (which is what current exchange rate is rounded up to a nice even dollar). Yes it includes shipping... idk though.

I like what I see though

Dear Kirasu,

Thank you kindly for your interest!! Your Blood Angles & Imperial Guard would look lovely on these boards!! Checking out the rest.

We cannot wait to see people posting pics of our Gaming boards with their armies on them. We very much want to get these Games & Gears Gaming Boards to everyone's home. It certainly has increased our enjoyment of playing war games and other games. The attachable felt Dice trays are addictive and I am glad I need not roll on a gaming table again =P.

I think these look awesome.

I'd love to see some "transition" boards like 1/2 Urban War & 1/2 Field of Battle (for example) to give even more variety to the overall boards that can be assembled.

Yeah, I could love if I could have an cobblestone city scape that I could easily transition into like a field of battle...

Dear Alfdante,

Thank you for your comments& interest!! We have tried our best to give the best price we can as these are highly detailed, durable & attachable Gaming boards. Also when you see the stretch goals and we humbly get a great backing by the community the stretch goal products you get to kit out your boards with should largely/hopefully further increase the incentive for you. Regardless thank you for your kind words. Very much appreciated.

I would love to spill the beans. But we hope you will love what we have to offer on our Kickstarter. Which will be hopefully live within the next few days.

Thanks again,

Best!

..... I am really sorry. I cannot confirm nor deny the above. But your foresight is very very scary.... We cannot wait till you see the full length feature video made in house by the Games & Gears team more to be revealed soon. Thanks.

Yeah, I see nothing wrong with the product. If you guys could offer those prices in USD (i.e. a US based company), you'd have my money... As it stands, I'm interested in this project and will probably be following it, seeing if I can back it near the end of the kickstarter.

I do have a question. Say the kickstarter takes place during the month of December, what's the turn around time from the end of the kickstarter (and the distribution of funds to your bank accounts) to when backers will start seeing their products show up on their doorsteps? I've backed several kickstarters, and 2 are still within their projected timelines, 1 delivered the goods on time, and 3 were months late, even though I've recently gotten my backing rewards.

Are we expecting like 3 months from completetion, 5, 6 months? What sort of timeline could be given, knowing full well that this might take off and you might have your hands slightly fuller than anticipated.

Dear Alfndrate,

Great question. This I can answer. Since we make these. We are looking at an estimated April 2013. As you have noted with December and holidays. However we have been very conservative with this and as will be mentioned on our Kickstarter although the estimated delivery is April 2013. We want to dispatch these to you end of March. Since we do not like to keep things in the warehouse for too long as it will just sit there we are looking into doing shipments bit by bit working up to March 2013. However we have to take in delays as well so we have put estimated delivery April 2013 for non painted and May 2013 for pre-painted. If we can deliver these earlier not only would it be good for us, just great customer service and adhere's to our mission statement which you can find on our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/GamesNGears in the about section. Hope that helps.

Also add, all products are pretty much ready to print on our machines. Since we have done much of the ground work already. We just humbly need the communities backing in large to bring this all alive and kick start a long term future with a great line of products as these boards for every gamer is a long term investment. We have already 18 months of products to be released and working on the next 18. But it all depends on the Kickstarter success. Hope that answers you question. thanks again.

Hello GamesNGears,
Your product video showed up on my Guts N Gears newsfeed as a new sponsor. Is your company simply a sponsor of Guts N Gears, or are the same people working on the podcast part of this new product?

Game boards don't interest me... but I do feel there is an untapped market for 'board gamers' who want something between a 2D cardboard and a full 3D custom terrain.

I am not sure how these are made or if they are individual print like laser cutting vs mold/casting but it seems like there should be a market for 'dungeon tiles' which can be put together like these and swapped around. I don't particularly want tiles to put my boards on, but if there were SDE tiles or Decent tile dungeons with textured terrain and 'black' in dead areas like walls, I could see people having an awesome way to make a dungeon for RPG and board games alike.

If there is no need for molds, and each piece is printed individually, seems like there could be dozens of possible tiles so someone could start with a 4 pack and end up with a 4x4 table of dungeons one day which each tile being unique.

I dunno, seems like a textured dungeon system, there would be a market for it... maybe not.

I can see that. Kind of like those DnD tile boxes, but 3d and textured?

Dear nkelsch,

We have deliberately insured we cover various gaming markets to meet our own needs as gamers =P. However I cannot confirm nor deny the above. But all I can say is that we are very excited!!

Best!

Dear Mattman,

No worries I can see the confusion =P. We are looking to sponsor allot of similar stuff to get the word out. But those guys are awesome and so are the Privateer Press Games.

Great question.

You can stack all 16 boards to a 12" square. Height would vary on how many you stack on top of eachother.

Fantastic! That's quite compact! Definitely looking forward to see what the kickstarter brings, especially considering Christmas bonuses are next month
