This looks kind of cool, actually, even if it is basically Fortress America meets Axis & Allies. What's really getting me interested are the stretch goal game pieces, such as:

Looks like they might fall short of this goal as there's only six days left and they're about seven grand short. Hopefully they'll succeed, who knows.

That doesn't look right for the HoXVIII. From the size of the cockpit outline it looks too small. Also, it was to be a true flying wing such as the YB49 with no vertical stabilizer at all.

Yeah, I know...but still, it and the other pieces are pretty cool.

I was wondering that, too.

Apparently it's in production at $99 a copy. You want to reach out to them to see if they can get us a review copy? I don't want to overstep my bounds.

I mean, I'd be glad to do it if it'll save you time. I don't want to contact them if you've already done it/are going to do it though. Don't want to confuse them. :)
