73 miniatures and nice mix of villainous goons in the initial offering. Be interested to see what all Weird War 2 stuff they'll introduce. Too bad it's competing with Black Friday for my gaming dollars. Really it's getting to the point where the year isn't long enough in general for all the new product getting crammed into it.

I've just dusted off my old CD of Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
Took a lot of messing to get it to work with a modern rig... apparently I must have entered some sort of timewarp, because 17 years have passed since it came out!
Anyway, it's getting me into the groove.

Base game seems to have a fair amount of crazy too it. That's good. Can only imagine what the stretch goals bring.
Has there been any hint of the supernatural? The zombies all look like products of technology as opposed to magic, and I don't recall seeing the usual vamps and wolves hanging with the Germans.
I do hope we see a Nazi Moon Base expansion. That'd be fun!
Poorly lit photos of my ever- growing collection of completely unrelated models!
I'm guessing it won't be heading to retail, so it's get nothing, get some stuff at the KS prices or get it all at $10 off so not a reason to get everything if you don't actually want it but a nice bonus if you do

The macguffin in the game is vril which makes it science(-ish) based rather than supernatural based.
If there's demand for more RB then moon base is high on our list for future expansions.
The discount is more than $10.
I'm always careful to say 'we want it to go to retail' rather than 'it will go to retail' as whether it does or not isn't entirely up to us. We have to have distributors willing to carry it and a price point that works in retail. If we unlock all the planned SGs then the MSRP for the all-in would be almost twice the price it is on the KS. That does include some KSE bits which wouldn't go to retail but it underlines the issue with converting a game like this to retail (and why Monolith decided to stop trying).
We avoid SGs which require an expansion to play as we don't want to force anyone to buy an expansion to make a SG useable. All of the SGs will be useable with the core game and the expansions though.

In fairness, I think Leo did say that in the Beasts of War interview. It's only a $200 all-in during the KS so the discount won't exactly be huge, but it is a discount over waiting for the pledge manager and substantial one over waiting for any retail release.

That is extremely good to hear, hopefully in a more "Mass effect" direction than a cyberpunk/ post apocalyptic or 40k clone direction.
For example I was really interested in the mecanisms and presentation of time of legends, but the theme left me uninterested, was really thinking, this would be a fantastic way to present a sci fi battle game, I really do hope you create similar projects like time of legends and reichbusters in a clean modern sci fi theme.

Will try to keep my expectations (somewhat) in check.
The more I think about it (and the more I impatiently wait for my Joan of Arc pledge), using the Time of Legends engine in the Reichbusters setting would be an interesting avenue to explore in the future. You could really get some crazy units on the table that way.
Plus have an actual moon base map to fight on
My own personal desire is to see a ToL style game set in a more fantasy inspired Sengoku era Japan though. Demon Lord Nobunaga versus the other unifiers of Japan!

Nicely done video... I'd imagine that was expensive!
I know I recognize the guy on the left at 31 minutes with the beard from some other game videos. Wasn't he a part of the Beasts of War team previously?

Is the lack of nazi symbols to avoid problems in Germany or something?

Yes, Az did have a stint as a Beast of War. We produced the video in-house. It's very flattering that people think we must have spent a lot of money on it

There and elsewhere.
