Dear Mattman,

Thank you! Your support as with everyone else's means the world to us!

Thank you.

Best!

...if I can possibly, possibly find the money for a set of these, rest assured you will get it

edit in fact I like it so much, I'll even let those wishy-washy "for the people" comments slide, haha

Dear Bolognesus,

Your comments like many others leave us very humbled. We sincerely appreciate your support in bringing Games & Gears to life. For the people & by the people, absolutely!

Thank you Bolognesus, deeply appreciated.

Best!

This looks like some well costed and affordable win that I need. kickstarter cant come soon enough.

These are really cool and look like an affordable option compared to some of the alternatives out there. Can't wait to see the kickstarter!

Dear Cyphertheory & Ozymandias.

Thank you, makes the work/labor of love all the more worth it and fires our engines even more. Cannot wait to get these to your homes!

Best!

I am highly interested in this product and eagerly await for the kickstarter, only reservation I have is I do not see an proper science fiction urban set.

I play mostly Infinity for example and the textures offered do not fit the modern sci fi look of it something along the lines of clean future urban setting would be great.

also do the tiles secure with each other in some way? I could not find info on that.

Does the board come prepainted or do I need to paint it?

Dear Psychoticstorm, we love infinity @ Games & Gears, heavily into that and 40k for our sci fi fix,our seas of war board can be painted as galactic space with stars, clusters and planets. Cracked earth can also be spinned off as a sic fi board pending you how you paint it. Cracked earth is awesome with infinity. Urban War is pretty good too depends how you paint it

Field of war is great for desert, scorched earth battle.

Also you can add your own bits to personalize the board.

Regardless of the above, I cannot confirm nor deny that there will be additional boards . I cannot wait till you see our Kickstarter.


Best!

Dear Sarge,

Painted or pre painted. Pre painted Games & Gears boards come at a higher price than quoted.

Best!

Missed your last point sorry. Yes all boards come with Games & Gears clips. These clips hold your boards tightly, steadfast and secure.

Best!

Pre-paints as well and it sounds like lots of extra customisation. gents if you can deliver you may have a very successful business on your hands.

Dear Cyphertheory,

Correct, we also have An awesome highly skilled pro team. We are very proud of what we have been able to do & with your support pushes us forward. We are in it for the long term if Kickstarter is successful which we very much hope so. We take our mission statement to heart and wear it on our sleeves as well. Http://www.Facebook.com/GamesNGears. Our about section. Lastly our love for the hobby and dedication in bringing real prices with great quality was a barrier we wanted to break in this market... Where other markets already have done for decades.

Best!!!

I've been thinking of getting a Realm of Battle board since it's more durable than a pink-foam board, but at roughly half the price I might just have to overlook the lack of hills. (Or consider it a customization feature, or something.)

How hard are the tiles to cut? I'd like to be able to add some sort of a river to my table, which (probably) is going to mean cutting up some boards so I can do a proper recess.

Dear Lansirill,

I would kindly advise you too hold that thought and not act on it. .

Best!!

I think we're going to have to wait and see what your Kickstarter contains!

I'm hoping for an 'urban' setting without cobblestones, and a field less burnt....!

=P, for the Field of War Board. You can always flock it =D. As for a futuristic Urban board. It fits well with certain 40k worlds. That said. I can discuss more and reveal more once KS is up =D.

Best!

I think some of us might want to know a little more detail on what *precisely* the board is made of. I believe you said injection-molded as opposed to vacformed; exactly what material used would be nice to know as well.
Whether it takes polystyrene cement isn't much
of an issue I think, but as for durability etc plastics vary wildly.
If answering that would be an issue, could you at least say whether it's PS like, or more 'bendy' like vinyl models?

Dear Bolognesus,

It is not PS plastic which is cheap and as not as hard. This is hard plastic, however if you purchase an unpainted board you would need base coat the board before painting on it, we recommend Matt black coat.

The reason why it is high grade hard plastic. Is for it's durability, no bend... Unless you sit on it or stand on it :p which I would not suggest. That is what I can comment on. The specific material was chosen for it's hardness, durability and quality. It was design to take on heavy models and terrain and also to stack onto each other for storage. Also for transport.



Best!

Okay, sounds good. looking forward to seeing the KS page pop up

Dear Bolognesus,

Kickstarter page to go up in T- minus 12 hours ( or possibly sooner). Final touches are being added!!!

Your support and everyone else's is throughly appreciated. We want our Games & Gears Boards in every home. We are both very nervous and excited as you would as our success and the life of the company will be dictated by you and your support.

Best!!

We also recommend army painter sprays, all colours give a lovely coat. From there you can either stop and have a basic painted gaming board or going into much more detail... Up to you

I'm interested in following this.

You guys might want to consider selling individual tiles for use as display boards.

Dear Walledin,

Already done =D and one of our pledges.

However one individual gaming board is dearer than a set which makes up a 48" by 48" (inches) for example.

But: There will be an optional Load out section which maintains a relative price level if you have already made a pledge what ever level.

Best!

Can you provide a link to the kickstarter?

Dear bbb

Sure 2 hours left till it goes up or sooner!!! Will provide link soon. Your support and everyone else's is much appreciated.

Best!!

Nice, keep us updated, though I am crossing fingers we see some more sci fi textures enabled through kickstarter.

Dear PsychoticStorm

Absolutely, I can touch on that once Kickstarter is up.

Best!
