| Wow. I knew it was a bit odd that they seemed to make a game, and then when they moved on to the next one the support and long-term play of the first game seemed to wind down rapidly. However I didn't think they were doing badly. What a shame. |

| When I was at Uni I used to hear that song played as the intro to the comedy nights. Usually only heard a bit of the beginning or the first half or so. Really interesting to see and hear the whole thing. Especially seeing it for the first time. Is all their stuff like that? |

| Is the plastic terrain going to be 15mm only, or will there be 6mm plastic terrain too? Or have I missed some plastic 6mm that you've done before? |

| Those pipes look great. If there was a piece where the two pipes seperated(even briefly, then returning again) it would give fantastic diversiity to a set-up built using these. |

| If true ... he should sell his remaining inventory, if there is any, to e.g. Microworld, or, etc. ... :-\ I agree, though first up he need to give the required inventory to the polyversal people. And if that isn't happening, then he needs to notify CEW as soon as possible. From what I can see from ... |

| Just to add to what RexHavoc said... I too love Kings of War. It might be my favorite wargame. However I don't find their main forum that great, even if you ignore the dominance of certain toxic members. However the twitter and facebook communities tend to be better, even if they are not always free... |

| I didn't know there were issues with Prodos. I knew they mentioned issues, and they have had to go from a company printing for them, to basically one guy doing it in his house, to get the quality etc of the prints. In a way its a shame two 6mm sci-fi kickstarters with rule sets came so close togethe... |

| I'm not going to put it straight up on e-bay. I can't say that I've had much kick-starter experience, but this seems par for the course outside of really big companies. I can't say I'm happy about it, but then I didn't expect them to realistically be coming until the end of this summer. What were th... |

| Yes adding choice is usually good. That's why non-replenishable dice pools are better, but then the tracking becomes burdensome. As designers, you always need to thread the balance to chieve what you want and mimic what you think matters. I have seen to many games try for the "One roll to rule... |

I hadn't checked this log(or many logs at all ) in the past while. It's great to see this one still going.
The building are amazing. Did you print them, get oop ones, or are these ones that are actually available to us mortals still?
Keep up the great work. Look forward to more. |

| I actually disagree with the notion that opposed rolls add any real long term enjoyment to a game. It can often just make things take longer to work out, you have to have the board space to roll dice separately, and it can cause annoying outliers in results. When learning a game, the notion of rolli... |

I will be definitely getting some of your stuff through the polyversal kickstarter which is the second time I'll be getting your products.

| Personally somewhere between a third and half the time. My reasoning being that standard infantry are often doing suppressing fire, but at the same time you don't want a game where standard units may as well be carrying around a gun that just shoots 'suppression' everywhere. |

| Is he perhaps selling? It might be best for him, if he isn't in to the business anymore. Its understandable, as you need to be stocking a lot for it to be worth your time, and you have to have good turnover to make the space needed worthwhile too. |

I don't know why people aren't using imgur more. I left photobucket many years ago. I didn't like it at the time, but it was the only alternative. As soon as imgur came along I switched to that.
I'm honestly shocked that they think their service is worth paying for. Am I missing something here? |
