Could those have two turrets? I can see myself having far too much fun with that.

Looks like each of 'em have two plugs. So many possibilities!

Awesome!

KD killed my wallet though.

I'm jealous of those who can afford to pledge though!

I may be avoiding anything in the 2nd release so that I can budget it all

At my count there are two future expansions / releases available for purchase now.

• Battle of Brighton
• Heavy Metal

That seem right?

Those two certainly seem like complete expansions. The rest of the non-exclusive stuff sounded like it was going to be divvied up between a couple other expansions, but in numbers and combinations to be determined.

Less than 10K 'til Shady and Otto. What then?

Apparently nothing - as we hit it 8k ago and still no update. Not that I'm complaining. We added 6 new free heroes today.

Hell, there are so many heroes now that I think they might outnumber the infantry.

Was really hoping for the titan... I suppose Dreamforge will have to do... oh yeah!! Feeling better now.

No super heavies for me though... They are nice, but the planes are where it's at

Funded. Just under $600k, so I'm sure the RW guys are very happy.

Forgoing the Brighton and Heavy Metal stuff. I'll pick that up next year when it's available.

Came in at $220! Think I might be done with kickstarter until July or August.

Pfft - that's what I said a month ago - "No Kickstarters for me this year." *sigh* - at least technically I lasted all of January.

Well I screwed up and slept on this. Has there been any word if you can still jump in during the pledge manager phase like was allowed after the Bones KS was funded?

CMON has been know to allow this, so I'd contact them and beg

kickstarter@coolminiornot.com

Thanks for the info. I sent them the question and I'll post back here when I get an answer.

Just got back from work about an hour ago and only now had a chance to see where this ended up. Really pleased to see it was well over the £550k mark and will need to have a think about stumping up for those Super heavies.

Pleased to see that the almost endless negativity from some quarters did not deter everyone. I cannot see the issue some had with duplicates. Effectively I will be getting a doubled up set (missing rules but presumably on pdf as well)for a knock down price, saving even more as my postage is not doubled to get it to the UK - other costs defrayed as well. Add to that the pimping out with the various heroes etc so great value.

BoB was initially a problematic choice, but by the time it arrives the potential for a standalone air game makes it a worthwhile bonus.

I for one am itching to get my grubby mitts on this in the autumn

Looks like backers can enjoy the $125k goal by sunday then

Interestingly enough on the bottom they do mention their other KS

Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

From past experience, there are some vagaries in terms of timing when it comes to anything produced in China, such as:

Production delays
Shipping delays
Customs delays

We've done our best to minimize this as far as possible, and we are always happy to refund pledges if for some totally unforeseen reason the game can't be delivered at all. Since the game is 95% complete, we don't believe this is in the least bit likely - we've successfully delivered Zombicide and will be shipping Sedition Wars shortly, our first two Kickstarter projects.

We also have two other ongoing projects, Relic Knights and Guilds of Cadwallon that are both progressing on schedule - please refer to those individual project pages if you'd like to check the progress there. These projects are entirely independent of Rivet Wars - they have completely different development teams and have no effect on the production flow or development of Rivet Wars.

Strange they said "Ongoing", Relic Knights and Guilds have already been funded. Unless they mean late backers

i dont anderstand totaly this whit backing what should i give and what do i reciv?

So I went to BGG to read a demo play session review that someone had posted, and man, there is so much bile being spewed on that site.

What a bunch if awful complainers.

What are they complaining about?

Board Gamers don't care about the extra models anywhere near as much.

They wanted more detail on actual game play.

Not an excuse... I still think they have been too negative overall (and don't seem to be as well suited for crowd funding as rules are rarely fully thought through for these style games)

From their comments I do not think they were boardgamers, they demanded increased complexity for no other reason than to make it more wargame like.

Personally I think its "simplicity" will make it quite a good boardgame, fast and easy to learn, but hard to master.

Pick something. They're talking about how poorly it was run (huh?), how you there's no value in the Blitz level, etc, et al.

The whole campaign had alot of negativity around it. I think people are expecting too much out of kickstarters as the site is becoming more used and well known. I hope this isn't the start of a trend. I liked how the whole thing went and was lucky enough to get an earlybird at the beginning. Never thought of giving it up but I did have to stop checking the comments on the KS site because it was just sooooo ridiculous. Oh well, at least its over and now we can sit back and wait for all our new toys! (and tiles for some)

Well, I can understand the dissatisfaction in relic knights, it was really bad run, but this, not ti was not badly run, if nothing else it spawned alternative troops look the community wanted.

Yes they did not give wargame rules (really in a boardgame?) some people wanted and did not put ridiculous over-complicated terrain rules a few demanded, all to the better of keeping a boardgame a boardgame.

Squall108, may be right about this one.

A lot of the adverse comments on BBG seem to come from people who expect kickstarters should be giving out shiny freebies at every point, hence the endless talk of duplication.

Also being in the middle ground between boardgame and wargame also meant a lot of critisism that it was not complex enough for a minis game and conversely boardgamers wanted to see the finshed rules - free on PDF was asked for at one point - during the KS. Instance, one constant poster declared he was sticking to Flames of War because it was more historically realistic..mmmm

Also there does seem to be plants on these KS now from rivals. I noticed the regular posts from the same posters, of its the same as Dust, but Dust tactics is much better supported in the clubs - yeh bad mouth something that will not hit a gaming table till this Autumn.

Personally, I do not care, the theme grabbed my attention, Ted's artwork is quirky and fun, but best of all I reckon my money well spent and look forward to plenty of good gaming for months out of this. That is even before we get anywhere close to making a tactical wargame out of it.

I guess I don't understand the lack of value argument. For $90 (the base, retail product) you get the 48 high quality miniatures, the plastic tokens, and everything else with the game.

Descent is $80, "only" comes with 39 miniatures, and has cardboard counters.

I just don't get it.

Ten there's those arguing that the Blitz level isn't a good value, ad I can't help but think they're a little nuts.

Sticking to FoW because it's more historically realistic? Where do these people come from...

Given the style of game, duplicated units makes perfect sense!

I heard back from customer service:

"We’ll add you to the list of late backers! You’ll get an email when we have a pledge set up for you."

So if you missed the boat then email them to get in on this.

Oh what a shame to have missed this one! Very nice KS.
