During the last 6 months, we had some heavy testing activity with the pre-fab prototype, testing them during games convention (including the famous Batalladores in Zaragoza, Spain)
We have receive more players comments and did some adjustments to the factory files.
Production Planning
Now that Chinese New Year has passed, activity at the factory will resume. We have to upload the final production files there, and wait for the production team to supply ‘Print Proof’ copy of the game. When it is final and validated for production, this one will be launched
Economy and Logistics
We have to make production-efficient planning, so we will be producing at the same factory all our current games. This include reprints of War & Peace and Small Wars: Mohicans, both of which have almost depleted inventory (or even out of stock in Europe for one).
At the same time as the reprint takes place, WAW will also go to the factory, and we will launch soon after the production of Hispania, a game we just succesfully funded also on Kickstarter (see its campaign here, you can still late pledge it).
We will also produce in sequence two other games (one is Hispania-like boardgame, another is a wargame).
The whole process allows us to mass produce 5,000+ games, using some standard components (boxes, countersheets, dice, etc…), which translate into serious cost saving.
It also allows us to combine all game production into one single shipment, saving a lot on shipping from Asia (we will ship 50% of the production to Europe, and 50% to the USA).
So, all in all, we expect to receive the games next Summer. Pledges will be delivered soon after arrival and custom clearance.
