Thanks to everyone for another successful Kickstarter.
While KS takes the next two weeks to collect your pledges, I am already knee deep in creating the pledge survey which will be via Backerkit.
In the Backerkit survey you will have the ability to upgrade pledges, add the unmet stretch goals (except all in pledges which get them in that pledge reward level), and add any additional add ons.
Master molding should be completed this week. Production molding follows and then of course casting.
Assuming everyone’s as planned we should be shipping significantly ahead of time.
Thanks again,
Lon

American Rifles 1 Stretch Goal Unlocked

Hi All,
The American Rifles 1 pack stretch goal has been unlocked.
Based on your feedback, I have adjusted the next stretch goal.
American Rifles 2 pack has been added at $12,500 replacing the British Howitzer in the stretch goals.
The British Howitzer pack will still be available in the pledge manager.
Your Comments and Questions
One of the questions received is whether the unlocked stretch goals will be available in the pledge manager. Yes, they will be available. I am probably going to set two price levels for the locked packs, with backers over a certain amount getting lower prices for those packs. I believe this is a good additional reward for those who back with higher amounts.
Since KS will collect your pledge after the KS ends this week, I will also add to the backerkit the ability to upgrade your pledge if you choose to do so, and still participate in better pricing for the packs that are still locked when this KS ends.
Sharing the Kickstarter link on different social media, and getting your friends to support the kickstarter makes a big difference. Please consider sharing the link.
Just a little insight - The amounts between the stretches are meant to pay for a good portion of the costs required, such as, the sculpting, molds and castings to meet the kickstarter, plus the fees for the kickstarter, cc, etc. Of course, this isn;t an exact science so there are a lot of assumptions built in. In a perfect scenario, everything gets funded and I have the invested money ready to commission more items. Since we won't make the higher goals, it will just be longer for that to happen. The post kickstarter pledge manager gives everyone the opportunity to add items and help with that as well.
There is no doubt in my mind that they all eventually breakeven, and here is hoping that is sooner than later. There is so much we want to add to the range as we continue further.
Thanks,
Lon

Stretch Goal Question

Hi All,
Thanks for your continued support. We are 495 away from unlocking the 1st Riflemen pack.
I have a question and would like to hear back in the main comments section on this -
Would you prefer me to switch out the next stretch goal after the $10,000 Riflemen 1 pack with a second Riflemen pack, or move up the Horse holders?
Here is a pic of the 2nd Riflemen pack -
This pack is also on site at my molder.
Let me hear what you have to say in the main KS comments.
Thanks

We seemed to have entered the middle stall zone of the KS.

You will be able to ask for any 5 or 6 figure pack in the BrigadeGames readi-ship ranges that are listed in the campaign or in our webstore. To adjust your pledge just follow the graphic (just click manage pledge and adjust the bonus support and total.
Let us unlock the American Riflemen.
