I increased my pledge level for the Classical Greeks and the campaign has now reached it's 3rd stretch goal.

Only a little time left on these Renaissance Knights ...

No doubt the Perry plastics are less expensive, yet these are very good sculpts and worth the money. I've increased my pledge amount to also get the 6 pikemen.
Oooh! Look at these dudes ...
These could be used for historical situational gaming or pulp gaming ...Received these today, and really liking the looks of the Tramp Steamer kit! Can't wait to paint it and put it together. :icon_biggrin: :::cheers:::

I like the whole concept ... however, still deciding what level I'll pledge at.
I like all the figures, so probably at least that. And I'd love to purchase the steamer boat as an add on at the end!
Really nice collection!👆
I do believe there are 6 mounted crossbow men to receive their complete status before 😸

Now to eventually get around to doing them with some paint ... lol.
Eeek! Those look good!
(Dang ... not another era, GP?)
I here ya. They could make decent looking Bretonnians too. And see, there's this campaign idea I have in the Border Princes ...
Does anyone really ever have enough? :icon_wink: :icon_lol:
Baron's WarOnly a few hours to go on this.

Rec'd these, and they look wonderful. I got the one of everything deal, and added 3 packs of spearmen to them for an additional 12 infantry. I'm imagining these might get based for Lion Rampant, although when I'll get a round to them is up in the air.Baron's WarOnly a few hours to go on this.

I pledged enough to get one of each item. I'm imagining these could be used for historical gaming and Bretonnians.
I wasn't interested in the spearmen and auxiliaries when that was all they had for Byzantines, but providing those basic cav and horse archers makes it more appealing to have some of all those. I'm imagining these could be used for a Border Princes force or mercenaries of some kind.
It was interesting to see the pledge amount for the Byzantines significantly dropped towards the very end of the campaign, and wonder what that was all about. Perhaps the world health issue has effected some folks decision to spend money on the project. :icon_sad:
Wow, I just saw the final total raised, and it really came down towards the end more than it did the last time I looked while the campaign was running. Not ever seen a kickstarter campaign go quite like that, and be so much less at the end than it was before the last day of the campaign had started.
although I'm sure there are some mighty nice Vikings and Cataphrats made by other producers anyway, if I even want them as part of my Byzantine army.
The Brigade Games stuff does look good, and I like the fact that the poses are very varied too - there are a few too many similar poses with the Northstar stuff in my opinion.Not sure what is meant by "be up to $37" :icon_question:
I may pledge, but I seriously do NOT need the figures numbers wise. :closed-eyes: and the postage looks like it may be expensive to the UK.
I am a bit confused by the way it's laid out at the bottom of the page - it looks like it could be up to 37$ :icon_question:
I probably need to read the whole thing more carefully - there's a whole load of extra figure sets listed as well.
I've had a closer look now.Think it will likely make 23K. And I'm so not into the "Last of the Mohican" figures. I'd rather have more packs.
I expect I will just stay with the new FIW sculpts - the 6 starter packs and then the add-on 4 Infantry packs providing the total makes it to French Infanty II at 23000$
So 127$ and then a decision about the Rule Set - 20$ for the softback version.Yep, definitely the soft back for me. These kinds of rules have really little resale value, and have no idea if I'll enjoy them or not, although it sounds like it is an upgrade from the original. The ideas on firing, charging, melee and morale seem intriguing.
Haven't seen the first set so no idea how it plays?
I already have the Rulebooks for Muskets & Tomahawks, and the Black Powder Rule Book with their supplement "A Dark & Bloody Ground".
So it's a question of 2 or 3 rules sets which I am unlikely to play :engel:
I wonder with this sort of KS how people view it?Yes, there's been a mixture of attitudes apparently. I went for $127 for the F&IW figures and yes, +$20 for the rule book = $147.
Do they throw their hat in the ring straightaway and pledge a for the initial sets, and then go in and edit their pledge as more units get unlocked?
Or do they sit back and watch to see how much unlocks before committing?
A mixture of both I guess, and with 17 days to go we are probably in the 'limbo' phase.
Interesting if everyone went with the first choice, would it encourage the developer to offer more freebies as the total exceeds the 26000$ current top target.
So the Backer Kit survey is out for this one ...

I ended up adding some items on top of what was already pledged for at the time ... silly me. :icon_mrgreen: :icon_lol:
