Everything in the pics looks awesome… the miniatures, the 3D map, even the unit trays (with the little swords… how do I grab a piece without slicing my finger off?!?).
Having said that…
If/when this game goes commercial, its either going to be super-crazy expensive (the miniatures, the 3D map and unit trays with little swords), or what we’re seeing in the pictures is not what we’d be getting (a much cheaper board, cardboard counters instead of miniatures, much simpler unit trays or ziplock bags?).
What’s in the pictures is TRUELY a work of art and a lot of love… but works of art and a lot of love is hard to mass produce at cost effectiveness… So will the final version indeed be what we see in the pictures (if so, this must be very expensive), or will there be cost cutting measures put in to make it more affordable to the marketplace?
How will the final product compare with what we’re seeing in the above pictures?
