Awesome thanks to both of you for the quick replies.
HBG's Amerika Game ON KICKSTARTER NOW - FUNDED!
-
1. Will the Allies have a comparable set of units? In other words will it be like; Germany and Japan have bombers, tanks, etc., will the Allies have the same type of units as well?
The Allied list will be announced before the end of the week!
2. Is production of Amerika entirely dependent on Kickstarter for funding? Or is Kickstarter just to get the project on the shelf more rapidly?
Since I try my best not to speak in absolutes… AS OF NOW, we must depend on the Kickstarter campaign to fund the game. The initial cost behind producing a boxed game is huge. That said, Coach seems determined to do what it takes to see this project through. We will of course need YOUR HELP to make it happen. Nothing will be produced in it’s final form until we know the Kickstarter is going through. However, all the 3D molds, maps, rules, etc will be done so we can show it off at GenCon etc.
All the 3D Models will be completed, NOT the molds.

Forgive my ignorance, but I am unfamiliar with this “Kick Starter”. I understand that it’s obviously a way to help fund the development of “Amerika”. Is it just another way of saying “Pre-order”?

Thanks for letting me know this. I will look for your spot there in August.

Just posted another great round of updates!
First, the Allied pieces have been announced. Enjoy! Second, we decided the 20" X 30" map was a bit small, and will LIKELY (can’t say definite yet) be upgrading it to a 24" X 36".

Finally, be sure to have a look at the game’s BGG page. Updates and other info will be posted there. Help us spread the word early so we have a successful KickStarter campaign!

ITS BEEN A LOOOOONNNGG ass time since I’ve been on here, just want to say Glad to be back. this game looks interesting to say the least. does anyone have a map, rule, or any further information?

Coach,
Awesome lineup of units. E-100 and T-29 Heavy Tanks now that will be a fight for sure!
I will be supporting this on Kick starter.
I hope this is a highly successful game and your sales of it skyrocket!WARRIOR888 :-D :-D
-
WOW!! This looks absolutely fantastic!
I’ll be a backer and buy several copies of this alternate history game! This is right in my wheelhouse!
Best of luck!

I am curious about the T-29 Heavy tank. The way I understand it, the Allied forces in this game will be mostly American with some British. Usually, the “T-##” is a designation for Soviet style tanks. American tanks are designated “M-#”.
I will admit that I am not as familiar with British designations for tanks. I have only heard them called by name (Churchill, Matilda, Centurion, etc.). Is the T-29 a British designation? Or is there a small Soviet research team in the US helping out since in this time line the Soviet Union has already fallen. -

Thanks for the link. So I guess US tanks are designated with a “T” when they are still in the developmental/prototype stage and an “M” when they reach full production model. I was unaware of this. Kind of like the “Y” for new fighter planes and “X” for new bombers.

Looks like we are submitting our Kickstarter info tonight for review 8-) 8-) 8-)

That would be a great help! Thanks IL.

I’m in. Can’t wait. Hope the funding goes well!

Seems the funding has really, really stalled over the past week.
Pretty disappointing, I was looking forward to getting my copy in February… Meh.Still, I’m hoping it jumps up again…

Yes, we have noticed the same thing. We are hoping for a jump after GenCon now and another once we get final numbers on international shipping. Of course the best way to help is continuing to spread the word and get your gamer friends to throw in for a copy. Every bit helps!
