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!
Excellent sculpt choices all the way through.
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-)
Should be up and running on the campaign by Thursday or Friday. We’ll keep you all in the loop! Be sure to check it out, tell your friends, loved ones, your dog, and whomever is willing to listen. Let’s make this one a success in a long line of successes! Thank you everybody!!! :-D :-D :-D
When you are sure it is good to go, please post a link to it here so it will be easier for us to get to. Thanks.
:-D :-D Okay gang! We are up and running on the Kickstarter. Go go go! :-D :-D

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!
It was really great to see the game being played at GenCon and to talk with Coach about the projects HBG has on the drawing board. (I stopped by for an hour or so over lunch on Saturday and got to see both Amerika and Barbarossa being played.)
I’m really stoked about this game coming out!

I’ve already tried… without success… My buddies aren’t really into these games like I am. Sure they have fun playing, but they aren’t really really into it like I am… which should explain why I kick their asses in it every time.
I’ve posted discussions about “Amerika” in board game meetup groups that I’m apart of, hopefully I might get some to consider pitching in.
