I like to support the company I work for . Awesome crew. As I said before which was for the Cross Forums and now here .

Looks like we are on track. Very excited here myself. It has been amazing. Just get these bad boys delivered to you. It's very exciting stuff and just the beginning.

Let's spread the word and get more backers!

Ok cool, whilst you are here can I add more stuff after the KS ends? I was able to do this for Rivet wars and other kickstarters.

I agree to an extent. I think where the freebies might hurt it a little is in the final couple of days - the freebie bonanza that many wargaming projects experience as the funding rockets in the final few days I think in part self perpetuates. The more funding, the higher the perceived value of the deal, the more people take the plunge, rinse, repeat.

I'm not personally butt hurt either. As you say, I can quite easily create another account, and get 12 tiles instead of eight, for an extra 22 quid.

Ok sorry I confused you for my mate Eggs, but in reply, We are neutral in this position (second account) For us it's a balance. It is not making a ton of money whilst giving a lot away as from what we know and has been done, this delays the Kickstarter and also can make business's Kickstarter dependent. If you followed our brush Kickstarter it is now a succesful global line. How many kickstarters do you know which deliver on time??

For us Kickstarter is getting the funds to tool the project and reward backers with the product. We don't want any delays or stress on the production line, like so many Kickstarters have suffered from.

Good price, good delivery and good quality. Is what we want to do. Kickstarter is just the beginning and with your support we can get awesome products out there sooner to you and the market. It's been a great success thus far in where we want to be, let's get it to crazy levels of goodness. Thanks

Sweet thanks G&G!

I backed avp and battle system last minute. It is just what happens. I also backed this one early to! So you don't get the boards free yourself??

I was last minute on battle systems, but early on AvP and this. Great minds and all that

We backed those too! All last minute to join the surge!! (Although I did back this one early, not the creator here, just work for this awesome company). Great minds indeed!

yeah,
Looking at the 28mm urban boards,
I can't see that many layouts being created with the 6 proposed tiles.
I kinda hope the final t-Junction doesn't get unlocked as I'd prefer a second straight or open board.

I think the locked t- junction should be changed to a 90 turn or the straight with laybys...

Panic...

I was actually considering getting two urban boards - so I could make busy or spartan urban layouts.

New update!

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/554355176/games-and-gears-battle-boards/posts/700549

I sent the kickstarter link to Natfka yesterday and he posted it up today. Should help with the final push... he gets good (as in incredible) traffic and is a huge DZC and 40k fan.

You're welcome

Of course its all self-serving, as I just want that 6th Anima board

Nice one, Lobukia!

Just spreading Christmas cheer. I was going to send them that Frontline/battlemat KS link too, but after I got online to do it, I saw that Reecius had done it himself.

Thank you Lobukia!!

G&G, you seem to be awesome at making stuff, but not good at marketing. Here is the update pictures. Awesome work guys. Cannot wait to get it. This is their elevated Terrain. You can get this by pledging for a reward on the Games & Gears Battle Board Kickstarter and then getting this as part of a terrain kit. Comes in two pieces. Rocky part is seperate from the flat pavement brick according to the update.

Awesome Thanks Darkeldarcrone. It is a sweet terrain piece.

Update to be posted soon. Heads up you will be able to get our terrain pieces individually

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/554355176/games-and-gears-battle-boards/posts

Beat you to it! Great update. So glad to see a kickstarter which listens to its backers!

Thanks!

Decent looking altar/base thingy.. any top down pics?

I'd like to see it in it's two separate components, myself.

Hoping to get pics of that as two separate pieces soon hopefully!

yeah,
Ok
so heres my beef with the current set of 6 urban 28mm tiles.

You can move juctions around a little but I can only see three basic layouts..
pls excuse the crappy photos... paper tiles and iphone.

1) both empty tiles at the top or bottom.
2) both empty tiles at the left or right.
3) both empty tiles split by the straigh tile. (top or bottom)
.

.

If the 'locked' blank tile is swapped for a straight road tile it seems a little better.
This is because the park can go in any of the six spots and the roads go around it...
.

.

But ultimately I think the gaps between the roads create enough space?
Is there a need for a park!

I think 2 straights, 2 tjuctions 1 cross road plus 1 other road. would be better.
to test this out I made a 90deg turn.


IMO This seems to create much more freedom of tile placement...


I like the park tile, but I feel the park should be an optional extra tile. so your not forced to have a park in every Layout
The park creates an area on the board that I think will be hard top place buildings on without looking strange.

Also parks are fairly easy to make.
link to tutorial I made years ago!

If we had 2x straight 2x T-juction 1x cross road plus 1x 90deg turn as standard...
plus a ££ 2 tile urban upgrade pack containing the blank tile & the park tile I'd be all over it!
I could have any of the above setups

Panic...

I agree, Panic! And since the park was unlocked as a stretch, it likely hasn't been tooled yet. Good suggestion and I hope they can take it!

I think my friend may go in for an Anime Wars board, really hoping so because then we'll have three 4x4s between us for Infinity.

I'd be changing to what panic suggested if it were available. As is, I have ordered two blanks to supplement the urban board. If all the tiles were as panic suggested, I'd just turn one of the blanks into a park, or buy the park tile as an add on. More versatility is always better.

Ok Panic,

Going to get the powers that be to talk and sort it. Fingers crossed. Your passion is infectious. Thank you for taking your time and doing that.

That would be a big improvement, G&G!

yeah,
It's very exciting now that we are in the final days!


In my above post I made the mistake of thinking the blank was locked... the last locked board is the second T-junction.
My bad!

G&G Is it possible for you to change the locked T-junction to a 90degree turn? A second T-junction design isn't really needed.

But I can see the problems with a radical changing the of the set this late in the Kickstarter, such as removing the blank and park.
If a backer has a 2x board pledge and wants double 28mm city.. and wants parks.
He would be fairly aggrieved if the parks became available only as purchasable extras.

Maybe you could offer two 28mm city options?
1) The Original Set

2) All Roads




+++
Anyways... I don't have to worry about this anymore!!
I decided the best value for me was to jump up a level to the 4x early bird deal.
2x 28mm urban battle boards
1x anima wars (tau city board planned)
1x hellscape (nurgle garden board planned)


++
Regardless of how G&G sort out the 28mm set - I'm in!

I've got G&G brushes - a KS they delivered on time.
I love the G&G paint rack - a pre-order that was also delivered on time.


2014 is going to be great with all the stuff I pay for this year arriving in the post!!
It's like I've bought lots of little presents for the future me.

I can't wait till May! Exciting times...

Panic...

Mega edits!! sorry...

Big update to come with some good news!

47 hours to go!!

Finally got my pledge in, now to start planning the terrain to go on top.

@grrrfranky welcome aboard .

Under 46 hours to go!!

When can we expect the update? I'm going to be busy the next couple of days, so if I'm going to change up my pledge, it'd need to be tonight.
