Unable to post images as on my phone but a new update has been posted with new stretch goals (including first aerial unit). They are going to fill in some of the gaps between the goals later.

Well they're going to sweeten the deal on some of the extra purchases

New Blitzkrieg Campaign download



Extra tanks added to the $20 purchase now get 3 of each



Free Atomic Robo for Blitzkrieg - final version may vary Artwork has yet to be approved.



1 of each dog Handler extra to the purchase option and Blitzkrieg level so 3 Dog Handlers per side - 6 in double pack

Creator CoolMiniOrNot 2 minutes ago

The included dog units are also bumped up by 1, made a mistake there. We'll update it shortly.



My personal favourite of this lot added plastic terrain pieces to the extra tile set - all that for $15 might have to by more than 1 extra now



Air Unit teaser - there will be more stretch goals between $335k and $400k

...damn you... atomic robo so cool! haven't pledged yet as i am watching a bunch of different projects but i may have to soon..

Atomic robo? Nice!

If you have never read his comics, DO IT. Some of the best laughs I have ever had

Atomic Robo is one of my favorite comics. If Zombicides expansion wasn't right around the corner I'd have to jump in at this point.

Holy smokes!

Those are all fine stretch goals. Of particular interest is the Supercharge! stretch; three M3s and Lanzkriegers is too good.

Yeah - I'm not sure what the helll is with all the mal-content backers on this one. I've never seen such a bunch of big whiners.

CMON has for Rivet Wars:
Added a ton of stuff to the core box
Given a boatload of freebies to Blitzers
Added VERY few optional buy-ins. And the ones that do exist are generally really good deals.
a) 4 tanks for $20? Soon to be 6!
b) 4 different tanks, again for $20
c) 2 heroes - $10
d) Rocketeer hero +plug =$15 (this is the only one not a great deal IMO)

As of this moment an "all-in" pledge is only $215 - that's very low. (A hell of a lot lower than KD:M, or Relic Knights or Dreadball or pretty much every big KS) I'm sure it will creep up a little more before the campaign is over - but they've shown admirable restraint when it comes to additional purchases IMO.

Normally I don't back a KS till the final 2-3 days, but I pledged today and am really looking forward to getting this. I think I'm going to re-play Advance Wars on my DS too.

So I'm clear, I need to purchase the Rocketwer, Cher Ami & King of pop Frost, and the M3 Verticals separately, correct?

Yes.

The only side purchases at this time are the:
M3 Vert. Tank and Lanskriegers (2 of each, soon to be 3) = $20
M7 Boss "tank" (and soon to be added Doomwheels) (2 of each) =$20
Cher Ami and Elsa Frost = $10
Rocketeer (+plug) = $15

There are other extras you can add - but they are just all duplicates of stuff you get in the core box/blitz pledge.

Dayum. Good call. Forgot the M7 didn't come in the base box.

Someone made a good point the extra Vert tank and Landskrieger stretch goal is called Supercharge 1 so there's a possibility of Supercharge 2 as one for the goals between $335k and $400k which might just apply to the M7 BOSS and DoomWheels?

EDIT $310k passed 2 Doom Wheels added to any M7 BOSS purchase

Missed a bit on the Red Baron he ships Q1 2014 so they are moving into a second shipping phase for the aerial stuff

So, let me get this straight: the only way to buy ANY optional extras is to pledge Blitzkrieg first?

I've asked a few times and sent a message to the KS creators and still have not received a definitive answer from them.

Hmm... the first Stretch Goal that would make me reduce my pledge. Yes I'm serious, if this one gets through I'd remove the pledge for the extra set of tiles. I don't want three sets... or do I???

Obviously I'm no authority on this, but I believe that is true based solely on the image provided which reads Blitzkrieg Only.

They don't specify that on the description for adding optional items. So either the image is wrong or the description is.

I dunna understands! You wanted more tiles but if they throw in more stuff at the same price point, you'll drop the item? /aneurysm

Chibi-Steampunk... hmmm. Color me interested.

Hmm though since its clearly inspired by WW1/Inter War/WW2 Period it would technically be Diesel Punk

Really not that hard to understand.

1. I want an extra set of tiles.
2. They offer an extra set for $15.
3. I buy extra set for $15.
4. They then go and make a Stretch Goal that includes an extra set of tiles.
5. I no longer need to buy the extra set, should the goal be met.
6. I reduce pledge remove the extra set of tiles I no longer need as I'm getting the extra set anyway thanks to the Stretch Goal being achieved (assuming it is achieved).

Comprende?

The stretch goal:



That one? They're adding stuff to the Tile Pack, not to the pledge tiers (ie - Blitzkrieg).

Oh! I misread it. Ok that makes more sense now. Apologies.

Then that makes the $15 that tile-pack costs fething amazing!!!

They have some images that say "Blitzkrieg only" and some that don't. The vertical tank and BOSS add-ons don't say it on the image, but there is still a lack of clarity, and I don't want to throw $40 or more away.

Any kind of straight forward answer would help, but it has been DAYS and they haven't fething responded.

I have no idea then. It doesn't make sense for them to limit it to Blitzkrieg backers only.

Did you email them at kickstarter@coolminiornot.com or contact them through kickstarter? Maybe you could ask in the comments section if you haven't already.

I think the issue is that the additional purchases are Blitzkrieg only, the images lower down are really part of the description of what you get rather than allowing these extra items to all.

In one sense it does make sense if they want to manage the initial run. By saying the core box is set in stone, any pldeges at the $90 range get just that , easy to pack and deliver. To reward the larger pledgers the additional items are made available now, but to this limited audience. Simplifies things for CMON, because as this ends next week they will know by end of February at the latest what the need to have in pace to fulfil the Kickstarter promises. Gives them 6 months to get it sorted.

I think that the extras will be available but probably not at such a sweet price - online discounters not included.

The Omega Terrain pack is confusing, given the earlier add ins for Tiles and Terrain - I will wait to see this clarified, but given the extra figures etc, it seems a must buy -= especially for 2x2 games

The downloadable campaign makes this look better all the time.

Now I need to recalculate my gaming budget for the year.

And as predicted update 23 gives extra M7 BOSS and Doom Wheels at $345k

"$345k stretch goal - Supercharge 2! (snazzy header not quite done yet)

Get one additional M7 and Doomwheel, so your 4 pack becomes a 6 pack of elite awesome!

Also, once we get our graphics guy out of bed, two more stretches at $340k and $350k to round out the expansion!"

Transfers and new blight hero stretch goals are up!

Oh CMON, you crazy romantic, you.

Brandi Graham is pretty cool. Who is she inspired by as I clearly am missing it

Heather Graham as Rollergirl...from Boogie Nights.

That's what I thought she was.... But I didn't think that would make it into THIS game. Nice. Very nice.

Hi all, signed up here to help escape the trolls in the KickStarter comments (I figure if anyone is immune to whining about stuff not being a good enough deal it's GW customers.)

Very happy to see things starting to pick up again, especially the decals (which I'll gladly claim credit for until they explicitly say they were already planned.) Not so excited by Rollergirl, although all the heroes are bonus, so no complaints. Still really hoping for Blackadder and the gang before all is over, if not I'm going to be forced to create a conversion kit for them.

Man, some really nice stretch goals on this thing. Lets hope we see the flyers!
