Hi everyone,

Excellent map designer Christopher West is back again with a very small Kickstarter for a set of maps that go with his previous battle station map set.

He's got 4 new designs that together make up multiple decks of a single ship, that look like this:

1.

2.

3.

4.

I don't usually big-note Kickstarters, or start many threads for that matter, but for this guy's stuff I just have to as it is always fantastic. Christopher has always delivered quickly on his Kickstarters, and as the owner of a dozen or so of his map designs I can say they are excellent for all sorts of things (I've used them most with the 40k RPG's). This set even includes a map that can link to his Mass Transit set of maps, giving you the ability to make really big sprawling maps.

It's a very short campaign - 9 days - but I hope we get all four designs funded because they look like a great set.

Have at it kids!

Cracking stuff as usual. Wish I had money right now... :(

I wish I had more of a use for them, because they look great. Clearly perfect for RPGs, but maybe a touch crowded for skirmish war-gaming.

I grabbed his PDF library from his last kickstarter, and I can spare the $10 to get the new PDFs. Always loved seeing his maps in various RPGs, especially his ship deck plans for Star Wars.

Depends on the game... Star Wars Miniatures (which most of his maps have been designed for) works best with fairly crowded maps.

And it's funded! Onwards to $8k!

Stretch goals!

Hello again!

With just three days left to fund the remaining stretch goals for the Battle Stations project, I've made the decision to create some new bonus rewards and adjust the stretch goals to fit them in.

The biggest change is that I've decided to go ahead with the Deluxe Battle Stations poster map boxed set at my own expense IF the fourth Battle Stations poster is funded. We're almost to $6000 now, and we need to reach $8000 to make that happen. If all four posters do become available, I can't think of any reason not to go the extra distance to make that Deluxe Set content, so that extra material is on me.

After that, a new reward is unlocked at every $1000 increment:

At $9,000, every backer will get four free 5x8-inch terrain cards, to be revealed when we hit that goal. If you've got a PDF reward, you'll get the free maps as downloadable PDF images. If you've got a print reward, you'll get a printed set of those cards.

At $10,000, Deck Space III will be printed. That's the Windswept Dunes and Ancient Stone gridded texture maps.

At $11,000, every backer will get eight free terrain cards instead of four!

At $12,000, your Battle Stations posters will include their own additional terrain cards, too...map tiles that change or add to the posters in different ways.

And at $13,000, if we make it that far, you'll get TWELVE free terrain cards instead of eight, in the form of a whole new product with bonus material inside the front and back covers, as well.

We still have a long way to go to hit some of those milestones, and not much time left to do it, but I hope that these bonus rewards are a welcome addition to the plan, and that you'll help spread the word of this project to as many friends and fellow gamers as possible.

Thank you again for all of your support!

Chris

And the campaign is finished.

It was a very short campaign, but it reached it's main goal for the two new double-sided maps. Very happy!
