Darn it Vance! You got me to cave. Backed.

To be fair, that gorgeous Red Square map pretty much tipped me over the edge. I'm hoping someone has an early copy at Origins we can play...

Me too. That would be a great place to show case it.

Played last night over VASSAL with Mark and Shayne there to watch and answer questions.

Interesting system. Takes some getting used to the kind of free form turn but once you get going it flows well.
I like the infantry CRT, no chance to use the AP one yet. Unit morale is set by scenario rather than on the counter. When taking fire and you shake or break you have a chance to shrug it off if you can make a roll against your morale. But when you take casualties you always take casualties.

Good stuff.  O0

Was cool to watch you and Kev playing OST.
I think the system does make for dynamic battles.

Jamm - you're gonna be at Origins, right?  ;)

What's the expected retail price for the game after kickstarter?

Sounds like it will play OK solo then.

There are no spotting rules in this game. You can shoot at anything on the map... as long as you have a clear LoS.


Spotting in LnL is one of my favourite mechanisms in that series. It takes away the need for hidden units and some to the "All Seeing Eye" aspect.

^I hope so, since most of my gaming is solo.

Was wondering what the rest of the stretch goals look like. The "Coming Soon" is already past the half way mark with 'soon' not in sight.

Anybody got an idea of what they might be?

Mark is trying to come up with stuff that won't delay the deliver if the project as is....

That makes the project look like it has poor planning. Why would you start a KS program and not have figured out what your stretch goals are instead of just putting "Coming Soon"? They are already 2/3 of the way through the time frame for the project.

Maybe it got more funding than they thought it would and were caught by surprise.

I believe it's this. Squad level gaming is pretty crowded these days after all....
