Kurse You Kickstarter

[Landlubber]

Looks like there will be a delay in getting the ships produced, and thereby a delay in delivery. Hoping it's not too long! But I do have my shiny new Halo: Ground Command models to keep me busy in the meantime...

It was interesting to see that they were bringing their production back in house.  I guess how we'll see how it goes.

New update from White Dragon. Looks like they're aiming to get pledge rewards to the backers before the SALUTE show in the UK, which is on 22 April. I'm guessing that Spartan will be late on their Kickstarter delivery as well...which means I'm going to have a whole bunch of models show up on my doorstep just as the weather is getting warmer here in Colorado and the summer hiking season is starting...dangit! 

First world problems, first world problems...

FWIW. I got a shipping notice from Hawk that my Dropfleet kickstarter has finally shipped. Great game but appalling customer service from Hawk.

It's definitely been sub-optimal, to be sure. However, I personally reserve words like "appalling" for debacles like the Palladium Robotech KS. Compared to that, Hawk has been a model citizen .

My real complaint with Hawk hasn't been delay, I semi-expected that with any KS but the communication has been literally non-existent. Judging by such basic things as Forum updates and email response, they are understaffed at a significant level.

Man, sorry to hear it.  I got mine in early December and have not paid much attention to what's happened since.  You'll forgive and (mostly) forget when you get them.  They're sweet.

[McKInstry]

They are forgiven. The models are sweet and they tossed in a significant number of "We are sorry for the delay" sprues and some other nice gubbins.

That's great to hear, that they've taken care of you.  I don't think we've met, but I'm up here in Castle Rock.  You and I may be the only ones in town with these things, we'll have to try a game.

Heck yes. I'll complete 12 Scourge small ships by tomorrow and should have a total of 16 small and 10 cruiser size Scourge finished by mid-February.

Hey! This thread is for Shattered Void! 

But now that you've brought it up, I would be happy to get a demo game of Dropfleet whenever you guys have time. Pretty sure BrdgingPrty also pledged in the Kickstarter, so that's at least three of you in the area.

Oh, you mean I have to play with assembled models?  Hmmm...

[McKInstry]

We only need a few for that first scenario. I think the initial teaching scenario requires only 3 cruisers and 4 frigates. Target the week after Ghenghis con?

[Ruckdog]

If you blokes could manage to get the game in front of Greg before we record our next episode, I would be greatly appreciative 

[McKInstry]

Will the 2/25-2/27 weekend still be enough time for that?
