I had planned to, but I wont. Other priorities need my funds.
Stretch Goal #5 reached already! :bd:
8 map Fulda Gap!!! :D
Ugh... Just when I don't have cash for another KS, this one's absolutely stuffed with content... ::)
Over $49,000 has been raised. Nine of the 10 stretch goals are now included. Need to hit $55,000 to release the next one. The content you get for the stretch goals is over $200, plus the base game. More than worth the $70 I pledged.

David Heath posted on FB that the total package, base game and all 10 stretch goals, would be ~$340 if bought separately.
AND we're there!!! :bd: :D
We have posted some new Stretch Goals.
With five days to go, the Storming the Gap kickstarter has done wonderfully well. There's still the Solo Assistant Kit unlocked though :smitten:
Would need some $3K a day to get it, let's do this! :bd:
We have 72 hours left for our Storming the Gap Kickstarter and only ONE Stretch Goal to go.

And it ships from a UK supplier so you shouldn't be nailed with VAT and import. O0Looking at what was included and the fact it's 1985, I couldn't resist investing in my first kickstarter.
DO IT!

This a reboot of the entire system. So the major titles will be complete stand alone games. There maybe expansions to individual stand alone games but David has promised to never again have multiple game requirements for expansions.
Not sure if all the titles will get KS treatment but judging by the success of this one I don't see why not.

Cool. Any idea how many standalones we’re talking about?
Ok but that’s 8 WaW games in various era’s ? Or 8 in ‘85?

In '85, various theatres.
Oh my dear God... how am I going to explain all this to my wife once she discovers this is just the FIRST of a series... :peace:
Oh I wish this would work. Or, that when you'd go to a gaming session, you'd ask which game to take with you, and she'd replay, actually. After which you'd take the exact opposite, perhaps rolling your eyes at her.Oh my dear God... how am I going to explain all this to my wife once she discovers this is just the FIRST of a series... :peace:
What, you a newly wed? The same why she explains why she needed to buy another pair of black heeled shoes. They were on sale! And their different than the other 4 pair of black heeled shoes that she already has.

"Do I look fat when playing this game?"
I am rather excited having just confirmed everything yesterday. :smitten:
Yeah... now the wait begins..... :D

Hi Guys,
The games are still waiting to get on to a Container ship from China, this is NOT us.
David
Yes thanks, David.
Sorry for the confusion, but I now remember; its mostly likely my Wing Leader stuff. :nerd:
How will the cat crossing the path outside affect dice rolls? Is there a rule for that? I mean, he's grey, not black, but still...It depends. Was the cat by him/herself, or was she/he riding a M1150 Assault Breacher Vehicle? There's a huge difference, you know.
Box was delivered a few days ago. Didn’t have time to open it due to work at first, but once opened I was filled with joy to see the huge amount of content and quality of materials!Neat! I received my shipping notice yesterday, can't wait! <:-)
That’s a whole lot of gaming for a small price! \m/
I've played 3 games now solo with the SA and it's great fun. Letting it do it's thing is the most important thing, I've seen a few videos and AARs where people override it nearly every turn when it didn't do something they thought was wrong or didn't make sense.
I had one instance where the SA had manoeuvred it's units into assault range and I was all ready for it to do so next activation. It's next card draw had the units stay in place and fire instead and I almost overrode it as it needed to capture those positions for victory but thought I'd play it out and see what happens. It ended up decimating my units with point blank fire and was able to pretty much walk in to my positions next activation. It was pretty impressive and showed me to leave it alone except for the really dumb moves.
So. how do you guys like the game so far?
Me? Haven't had a chance to play it yet :hide:
Any of you grogs playing this on a regular basis?Unfortunately not. I am not much of a VASSAL player, and with how everything is going on with covid19, haven't been to the local wargaming club not once since February iirc :(

I have the kickstarter deal, with the solo assistant, but haven't really got started with it either. I really should. So for now I have been mostly admiring the art, and played the starter scenario for both sides for a three, four times.
A pity. I am all ready for the Blood and Bridges kickstarted, mind. Surely this self isolation will end one day.
Have you tried VASSAL, at all? Would be fun to try it, maybe. If interested maybe we could try it out some time?Any of you grogs playing this on a regular basis?Unfortunately not.

Exactly my situation. I have even contemplated selling my KS set, but its just too good of a deal and just too beautiful a game to get rid off.
One of these days...
How about we start the first scenario?Sorry, I missed your new post. Yes, how about this Sunday at say noon(ish) or thereabouts, your time? I am one hour ahead of you.
