Not sure what size I want to go for. Pricing is really good so that is no problem. I had the idea of a sci-fi board mixed with some hybrid sea boards painted as a space board in the very middle to make some kind of floor observatory. Kind of like this but on a grand scale.


I will probably pledge after Christmas as that is when all the relatives send money! I think this may be the case with many people so don't be too concerned about not reaching your goals yet!

Very cool Commander Cain! Makes us want to battle on your Games & Gears battle board =D. That would be awesome and exactly want we want everyone to do. Creating your worlds on our battle boards is our goal. Just cannot wait and hope to see it happen =). I would love to play on your battle board!! Thinking of scenarios already.

Feel free to copy our sig temporarily to spread awareness.


This and the seas of war battle board painted as space is a win for sure!

Thanks Commander Cain for the well wishes =).


Cheers!

I looked for a sig to copy but couldn't find it!

I think this is it:

Thank you for your hopeful pledge and support.


Thanks!

I just see this on my laptop. >

Someone needs to fix their coding!

Your space station idea has got us going. Something we did not think of. Reminds me of the Starcraft battle missions, which you can recreate in 40k and other sci fi games. Having space in pockets of your gaming board and being surrounded by Sci-Fi War-Scape battle board. Would be really cool.

I guess the combos are only limited by your imagination!
=D

Cheers!

yeah,
Ths tile is great!


Panic...

Thanks Panic,

We hope to make many of these and see what players come up with in building their worlds to battle on!

If we get 1000 pledges there will be a dubbed "Panic" battle board. But we need help in a good name for our space Hulk battle board.

Everyones pledges counts. lets get to 1000 pledges .

Thanks!!

So we hope this Christmas/Hanukah and holiday period you get yourself a Games & Gears gaming board.The product is great the quality is great and With your pledge we can make this happen. Our thanks and best wishes to you all. Let's make this happen!

Post here is you have pledged already or you are about to!

I have pledged 200GBP for 2 boards and will be adding some more for some Sci Fi boards.

Honestly don't know why everyone isn't blowing up this KS.

Two words - Kingdom Death it's sucking up everyone's gaming budget right now and battle boards come out of the same budget. I also think the British Pounds puts off US based backers but as GamesNGears are UK based that can't be helped they have to use KS UK.

Some interesting stats on KS UK here:

http://www.kickstarter.com/blog/kickstarter-in-the-uk-the-first-month

of 470 projects launched (31st October to 30th of November) 30 have been successful to date
US backers account for 23% of backers
UK and EU account for 62%

Where as US based KS has 78% US backers.


I'm no longer backing this KS.

I suspect the big problem is US KS users have got used to getting free postage from US based projects

And the moment the see it's going to cost them significantly more on top of their pledge they switch off

Whereas us users from the rest of the world have always had P&P (and often taxes) to add on anyway

There is no extra P&P for US backers here and a lot of UK based KS seem to have realised that if you want US backers you have to give them free shipping (or at least include it in the pledge price so no one's any the wiser )

Shipping is free for US Canada EU and Australia backers...

We are confident and we can succeed overwhelmingly with other great projects out there. But we have noted that,

We know our gaming boards are great in quality and design and have been a joy to play on them.

Ours seems to be a marathon than a sprint. But with everyones backing and pledge on Dakka Dakka and our Facebook fans, we can do it and easily go over the 1000 pledge territory. Since we make these ourselves we have an edge on delivery.

Thank you for your pledge.

Please continue to post here is you have pledge or are planning too. Let's make this happen and enhance our gaming experience together!

Shipping is free in the USA. If we succeed in the KS. We will attend Gen Con and other conventions in the USA. As well as European conventions.

So pledge now and to those who have we salute you and want to see pics of your armies on our gaming boards once you have received your Games Gears Gaming board.

Let's make the good times and get this rolling.

Pledge made 100 pounds for a 4by6 initially and then increased to two of them.

My local club is instersted in the 500 quid deal, hopefully they will sort it out next week. Would be awesome to play 40k on these boards in the club too.

Cracked Earth Battle Board aka Cracked Ice Battle Board. You can paint these battle boards in many variations to suit your worlds, armies and battles.

Btw just to be clear =). Shipping has always been free to the USA, Canada, EU & Australia =D

Thanks!

Cheers!

At 38% in just a few hours not bad. Really want you guys to get to the stretch goals. Want me some hybrids =D

Dear Darkeldar Crone,

Thanks for your great support. Our current backers have allot of passion and enthusiasm for us @ Games & Gears. We are looking forward to the next wave of backers soon =).

Thanks!!

Sorry if this has been asked previously- is this project on Kicktraq, or not because it's UK-based? I can't seem to find it on Kicktraq, so if it's there and someone could link me directly, that'd be great

http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/554355176/gaming-boards-great-quality-great-price-and-great/

Not that encouraging, but there are often those late-drive surges.

While I think the idea is neat and hope they succeed, I just can't find a place for them in my budget. Already having gaming boards and mats, this just doesn't hit the right spot for me at the moment. Best of luck to them though, they seem to be trying to make a quality product.

I too have plenty of gaming mats - styrofoam, roll out mats, tables, etc; but man I do not have good high quality modular hard plastic textured boards, and these look so awesome. What sold me were the extra trays on the side for storing cars/dice/dead models and not having them litter the tabletop like they normall do.

Really hope it gets funded. That's why I pledged for two 6x4 sets and willprobably add more.

I can't help but feel the timeing of this kickstarter is it's down fall right now

The Kingdom Death Kickstarter is rocking because it ends well after new years when everyone is getting their budgets together agien.

This Kickstarter ends Dec.26/Boxing day, and only New Years right around the corner. I fear that we will not see the "pledge bomb" this kickstarter desperately needs.

Yeah, I know I would pledge more if it wasn't ending right at Xmas. If it was in January I definitely could afford to probably do double. My gaming group and I would never need any other board system.

Exactly. Even thow it pains me, due to my own Christmas spending I might actually have to reduce my pledge for this kickstarter even thow it pains me to do so. I dearly want to see this kickstarter succeed, as I know this will be a product I will come back to years down the rode for my board needs. But it seems the timing on it is utterly killing any momentum it gathers.

Maybe this question has been answered but,

What will the equivalent sale price of your boards be after the
kickstarter is over? Will it be the same as the kickstarter backers,
or more?

Dear Malfred,

Aprrox 10-20GBP more. Pending on volume.

Good news is, we are expecting a hopeful late surge from clubs. Although we do want it to be as early as possibly.

We are confident in succeeding and we really appreciate your comments. It really spurs us on that all want to see us do well and succeed.

We hope to getting as many pledges as we can in the next few days a weeks with a big bump along the way. =) So if you want to get these high quality boards made to last pledge now if you can.

All your comments are noted greatly with thanks
