Here's the relevant part: Instead of fixing the value of the Regiment Pledge Level, to stop you from getting 2 Battalion Level Pledges for more stuff, CGL says "feth YOU! YOU ONLY GET 1 SET OF BONUSES FOR YOUR PLEDGE!".
So there's that.

I see great things coming for the KS after that move.

Edit: I'll be charitable and think they probably said it thinking about the logistics issues, rather than trying to push more people to pledge at regiment level instead of the cheaper double bat.

There seem to be some good positives in There alongside a couple of downsides. The retaliation packs seem to have been a really big thing for a lot of people so hopefully that will give a nice mid-campaign bump and make it more likely for fence sitters to come down. Gotta reach the cookbook! (Or something)

A Barber's Marauders box was mentioned, and the idea of lighter lances was floated around. I'd love to see that.

The best retaliation box was the one that combined AGoAC and the Beginner Box for $40, I don't know if we can agitate for that one too. Being in the US, I just bought a AGoAC for $36 and the Alpha Strike box for $55, it's not hard to wait for a discount on the full box better than what you'll get on the KS for just the models.
But I am very glad they listened and did something smart, even if they continued to grandpa things by saying they didn't know if they could successfully do double pledges. I'm sure this will add tens of thousands more dollars toward getting us to $7 million.

No double pledges?
And I was so looking forward to get double the PDFs...
They grossly overestimate the perceived value of everything besides the minis. The plastic is what draws 95% of the people. If this was an all minis BTKS, I guess everyone would have been happy.
Human ambassador of Cats on earth. All hail our feline overlords!!!
Note that Catalyst is not using CrowdOx as the Pledge Manager for the Mercenaries Kickstarter, they're using GameFound. I would imagine they want to make sure that they CAN do double pledges before they tell everyone that they can just to find out they can't. They're holding another livestream this Saturday IIRC and it may be covered there.

And Retaliation packs for Mercs and Alpha Strike are there!
What are the contents for Alpha Strike?
Also are they doing Mk1 Retaliation boxes also, preferably with Vindicator swap in?

You can get double pledges anyway by opening a second account. A lot of people already have second accounts to take advantage of other Kickstarters with better stretchgoals. I had a long dormant second account I reopened for more Dungeons & Lasers.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.
It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.
A second account also means you're paying separate shipping for each account.
Livestream with Randall Bills right now at https://www.twitch.tv/GenConTV An interesting fact provided by Randall is that at $5m it is the 45th most successful Kickstarter of all time (all categories) and there's still two weeks to go.

Thank you I saw the image but didn't recognise all the mechs.
I take it the one in front is the Wraith, if so I can work the rest out.

Well yesterdays total was up close to $100k again, so more than double recent days. If that keeps up for a few days it will bring the nice $7m extra boxes that much closer

From left to right: Mad Cat, Masakari, Puma, Black Hawk, Dasher, Archer, Wraith, Atlas, Warhammer, Phoenix Hawk, Blackjack, Locust, Wasp.
I've never seen an Archer with guns on its forearms - is that a new look or just a variant?
Note that is not a Puma (the Inner Sphere designation of the Clan Adder} in the Alpha Strike box. Instead it is the Pouncer.

[sarcasm] The Mercenaries Kickstarter must be close to shipping since ACD Distribution already has the boxed set up for pre-order. [/sarcasm]

Shock and horror… update 22 confirms that they can do the thing that pledge managers are set up to do
D’oh. Missed Ghaz’s update… that’s, like not even ninjaing. That’s just me not seeing stuff…
