Hello GamesNGears,
Could you elaborate on the clip system for your boards?

Also, pledged myself a 48"x48" just now

I also think it'd be better if you had some of the tiles blending into others. That would be awesome. It'd certainly pull me in more. I for one would love to see cracked earth mashing in with urban so that you could make a city on the verge of being engulfed by ice or lava . It would't certainly make me more inclined to back.


Best regards,
Howie.

Absolutely, Each board will have the right amount of clips to fit the entire board together.

We already have used them over hundred times, they give a very tight and steadfast fit. These clips a durable and specificly built for our boards only. Material (hard plastic)

How exactly do the clips work? Where do they go?

Dear Howie, we do!!!! they are our Hybrid boards!!! check the video =P... and will be unlocked via stretch goals... everyone can end up with 5 Hybrid boards of there blending choice. as part of the stretch goals.

Best!

I just checked out the KS, looks good to me so far.

I'd recomend updating the OP with the KS link so people won't have to search for it.

Also could you make a KS video showimg how these things are put together and how durable/delicate they are?

Great question:

Each board has 8 slots, you can see them in our close ups. 4 long clips for each side to hold tightly.

Anything else let me know

Great Idea will do!! and will post a new thread as well me thinks for it?

Will do a video of the clips in the coming days (please bear with us on this!!) . Unless you start bending the boards violently the clips hold. Otherwise they bounce out.

You can frizby the small 24"by 24" boards.. clips still hold tight would not recommend it though =P

best!!

Do you plan on having a YouTube channel?

I wish there was a more futuristic/SF looking table option available.

I think at this point, the only thing that looks like it would fit for 40K or Infinity would be a "Fields of War" board painted in an urban grey color?

Which seems like a waste of the potential for this product.

Having said that, I'm not sure what would look more 'futuristic' - but cobblestones or 'cracked earth' don't seem right for me.

Still, I wish you much success, and maybe in the future you'll have some additional designs that will fit a generic SF setting a bit better!

Thanks for the input. We do have a sci fi board. But It is in the design phase atm. We are quite strict on design and look and it does take some time and wished it was ready for KS but we won't rush into things untill it is ready.

But, thank you for your kind words. We are already thankful to the backers who have already backed us.

Best!!!

Ah, good to know...

I'll be sure to pick up that version when it is available - and I think that it will be a big seller for you when it launches!

Thanks!! We think so too!!

Best!

Cracked earth looks like a good base for broken streets.

No, it does not, but with the two pod terrain systems available one from warmill and the other from Sarisa it can nicely fit as a colony outpost, even better if the mixed tiles of cracked earth/ field of war happen.

While I understand the difficulties of a sci fi terrain, making a layout that can be arranged many ways with roads that will not look plain is difficult, I am really hipped on its potential availability.

Our Hybrid battle board were made for that... there is more to be revealed..


However we heavily play 40k here & cracked earth and field of war with Hybrids make an awesome Sci fi terriam battle board. Also there are many different ways you can paint the battle boards.

For instance a lava cracked earth board could be a Khonrate wolrd etc.

That said, We are working on a Sci fi specific board. But we have strict process as you can tell hopefully our designs are top notch which we hope you agree with .

Again your words of support have been terrific thank you. Already on 3% and we are very humbled, excited and nervous. =). We just hope we have done a good job and really want other to experience the joy we have had with our gaming boards.

Best!!

You can also give the Cracked Earth Battle board a glowing green alien effect between the cracks. There is allot you can do.

The Games & gears boards where deliberately design as a base product where you can add more things to it and be totally creative or just have it as it is.

Best!

Well I'm in for the 48"x72" option just in time I was starting to get KS withdrawal

Really weird pledging in pounds sterling and not using Amazon payments but directly entering your credit card details I guess this how Kickstarter UK works then.

Quick question GamesNGears if the Hyrbid boards get unlocked will it be possible to get half your boards of one type and half of another - so the 48"x72" option has 24 boards can you opt for 12 cracked earth and 12 fields of battle boards or do all 24 have to be of one type?

If we with the community support we can unlock all the Hybrids. it is something we can do for sure as volume on our machines will be enough to be able to cater even further for that request.
hope that helps and will make a formal announcement when it does become unlocked at that level.

We are by and for the community, so as long as we can do we will do it

Best!!!

We have updated our Kickstarter. Your idea has been implemented and will be noted on our main page too.

Best!!

Thanks very much very helpful and I'm glad your open to suggestions.

if you're taking suggestions anyway: I'm thinking there'd be quite a demand for something to transport this in; even if it's just a bag to snugly shove 24 tiles in with a single back strap (or 16, for the 'pauper' board ). if you're producing sufficient volume that should be doable.

I don't mind making one myself but I can imagine not everyone agrees

Dear Dave C,

It was a great idea and as gamers ourselves makes sense and we can do it at that volume. We very much hope we can attain that stretch goal and get the hybrids to you!!

Amendment to stretch goals has been made.

For the community and by the community absolutely. We also have the advantage of making these ourselves.


Best!

You are spot on!!! We have 18 months worth of products. For that to happen and the rest. We have insure we get a maximum backing on our initial core line which is this Kickstarter. Your support & the communities backing via pledges makes pipeline stuff like that become a reality.


Best!!

yeah,
Great to see you taking the time and answering so many questions!
Makes me want to buy your board even though I already have a board,

Have you got any images yet of your boards mixed in with the GW realm of battle boards? or are you keeping your product clear of GW comparisons?
It could be a real selling point for someone like me who has a GW board but would like to shake it up a little, if the height of the board is the same/similar.

The hollow nature of your boards look like they want to be converted and have a trench dug in them! I'm very tempted!

---

I see that you have a custom tile board pledge level on the Kickstarter. That's pretty sweet.

I don't have that kinda cash, but if I did I'd commission a DeathStar surface tile!
X-wing is played on surfaces 2'x2' up to 4'x4'... The recommended game size is 100pts played at 3'x3'
And there is a gap in the market for a good board. Most people myself included have been printing out deathstar pdfs.

I don't think it needs to mega detailed just lots of rectangles. like the angry birds game
If scale neutral It could also be used for 28mm games as industrial planet surface / generic spaceship hull.

Gary...

Dear Gary,

Thanks for your kind words and support =). Not a problem, when we say are by & for the community we meant it =). Unfortunately we do not have any GW realm of battle boards. Our dimensions, weight are all different to.

However all we can say is that our detail and quality is top notch and are prices are based on the product not brand name. We are big fans of the GW games. So we hope all of 40k games and Fantasy are played on our Games & Gears Board. We just up a Games & Gears KS thread in this section too. =D.

We could to a Deathstar tile =P. X-wing is an awesome game. =D. Great suggestion
Best!!
