Absolutely.

Also the costs for a 4by4 will be nearly the same. If all 6 designs get unlocked which we hope. Then a fair option would be for the 4by4s to choose which pcs they want. However this increases costs in time in packing, checking orders case by case and working out volumes increase costs considerably it also increase the length in delivery time (for everyone). It can be done no problem, but the cost of this will not make it worth it for 4by4 rewards as there will be little difference in price.

If we price the 6by4s for 200usd or more then we can have room to do all the leg work for a 4by4 as stated above. As it will be charging consumers a lot of money and way beyond the threshold we think battle boards/gaming boards should be.

Since it would not meet two out of three of our critirea: 1.Great Price, 2. Great Quality 3, Great delivery (1 & 3). We have decided not to do it and offer everyone great value for money, in return of great support to us & the product.

, Ninja Division, Hawk Wargames and us will be making high quality battle boards as many have seen in Gencon or down local clubs. We just cannot wait to get it to you

6 for $100 instead of 4 for...$70, $75?

What's not to like?

Provided, of course, that these boards turn out to be everything they're promised to be!

Yeah, I would've liked the option for 4, also due to the fact that there will be only four unique designs to start.

If G&G hits the $100 price point for 6, then that's still OK for me... but if there's shipping on top of that, etc it can add up quickly!

Whereas four with shipping still for under $100 would be a no-brainer for dropzone commander players. I guess if my other friend also gets a set, we'll each use our spare 2 tiles to make a third 4x4

Shipping included : USA, EU, Australia, CANADA, NEW ZEALAND and SINGAPORE

Awesome! We just cannot wait to see pics of people playing on the battle boards at the their home, local store and conventions having good times .

Zing!

And yes, IF (when?) G&G gets 6 designs 'unlocked', it should be a pretty good deal...

Edit: Ninja'ed

Shipped from where, for EU backers? good price regardless, don't get me wrong; but that would make the difference between good deal or awesome deal

We hope with the support we have and the those spreading the word of mouth. We will do it and a lot more. We are all gearing up for the KS. Lets do it

For EU customers. Shipped from UK

For USA & Canada Shipped from USA

For Australia, New Zealand & rest of Asia. Shipped from Australia

Okay, last questions from me then:

Will this campaign be in pounds?

Will there be a pledge level for two sets of 6 boards each? (I may combine with said friend if it makes sense to do so)

@Ritides!! Feel free to ask more! It's good!

1)Yes. But (there will be a large link for Universal Currceny converter, so easy check in USD).

2)Yes. A full explanation of the rewards system end of this week or early next week

Pounds isn't a problem, I just pledged for a campaign in it . It just means I try to have the funds in Paypal so I can use my Paypal card and not have to have my bank do any converting.

Even a set of six 2' x 2' boards (6x4) is beneficial for players who use 4x4 for their games - if there's multiple unique designs it allows you greater flexibility in setting up your modular board!

...Okay, so that's €75-80 all-in for a board. That is pretty nice.

All Games & Gears battle boards will come in 4 designs initially and then a further 2 design unlocked via stretch goals for each battle board. Unlocking all the designs will give each theme 6 designs that go together.

So the pledges will be for 6 tiles regardless, each theme with 4 designs - and then unlocking an additional 2 designs per theme? And each of the 6 tiles with a different design after stretch unlocks?

@Azazelx. Yes correct

Next week can not come soon enough!!!! How about another sneak peek!!!! You know you want to!

Sorry, we are in full swing of getting the KS ready for launch next week.

But here is a G&G Terrain sneak peak. Part of one terrain set on the KS that you can upgrade with your pledge. Just working on the battlements.





from our FB
"Hell Dais:
is another Terrain piece from Games & Gears. Elevated terrain, great for heavy weapon squads, artillery and anything else that benefits from line of sight over troops by being on elevated terrain. In true Hellish fashion the Hell Dais can be flipped over to create another elevated terrain for your gaming pleasure."

Guys, these photos are horribly dark. If you could stop using that "dark around the edges" effect, it would be great. Clear pics FTW!

here is the link for clear pics:

Some more G&G Terrain previews for our upcoming battle board Kickstarter!

Holy crap that is some sweet terrain. Reading the blurb will fit nicely with the Hell board and a corrupted Anima board. Waiting to see what other terrain you will do for the other boards! cannot wait for this, Kickstarter this week?

This week?

Oh no! GnG spent too much time talking to Ninja Division, who are working with Palladium Books on a Robotech miniatures series...

Gak! The PB Delivery Date Curse is contagious! We're doomed!

:-P

This Kickstarter has been drawn out for awhile. Let's hope it gets going this week. In GnG we trust.

yeah,

Panic...

... having the forum handle of "Panic" and signing your posts makes me think someone is actually saying we should Panic until I glance over.

I wish I could say I was better at pattern recognition but it gets me, like, every single time you post.

Nice that we have a date finally!

Yep, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th - or 9th of November. Or something. I wonder how long the delays on this one will be once it's complete? Also, ending on 9th of December isn't really particularly friendly, so I might have to skip this one now, when if they'd gotten it running earlier I'd have definitely been in.

Worth noting, campaigns don't have to be a month long. A cursory Google'ing indicates they can be as short as a day.

Obviously it won't be THAT short, but they've commented on wanting a very swift turn around for delivery, and have been spreading the word on Facebook, here, and presumably elsewhere.

I could see potential for a mere 2 weeks, or something like that. Enough time to finish getting the word out a bit, but cut out the middle man of those 'slump weeks' where only a trickle of funding is found. Big start, big finish, minimal loss if the products are delivered shortly and fans become their marketing material with boards destined for the website and proper order shortly thereafter.

But that might be crazy.

Just so crazy it could work....

KS can take up to a week to approve a campaign, don't forget. Maybe it was submitting on the 2nd. Or they were waiting production proofs? (ya know, what everyone jumps down Mantic's throat for not having)
