| Don't worry Mord, I get the feeling they will be producing new models for a little while... This successful campaign should definitely be a good starting point for some expansions and growth of the models and universe. Don't spend all your money before the other options are released! | |

| Agreed - I've 'stuck' at a particular pledge level for ages now. I may pitch in for some carapace, but it would take something really cool to make me part with more cash other than that. My only thought was go Biohazard x2 (if my wallet can take it) and then ebay the spare base set and goodies to recover some cash! Akosha is ours - $650K reached (we will surpass zombicide at this rate!) Next stretch is cool too! So.. if Akosha is getting all amped up (like we are), what about... Morgan has decided to one up Akosha, and suit up in full Wildfire bio-hazard gear. Environmentally self contained for the most destructive of outbreaks, the suit provides enhanced protection from the strain infection. Armed with an incinerator, scanner, and advanced medpack, Morgan is ready to hunt the strain down and burn them out of Alabaster station. If we hit this stretch, every Biohazard set gets Morgan all suited up! Ships March 2013, unpainted and unassembled! Laney | |

| I really like all of these new models. It will be a nice little boost to get the new models in March, 2013. Hopefully I will have the rest of the core box painted by then... Very cool additions. I want to get the terrain pack, but I will wait until I have the rest of the models painted. I am really looking forward to playing some games and checking out the finished models.
I have a male drone coming sometime in the next few weeks, so I am looking forward to slapping some paint on that too. | |

| Pledged! 330$ Biohazard and most of the optional stuff except for the glow-in-the-dark things. November seems a long way | |

| 27 hours to go $685,263! (Morgan Vade will be ours in a few hours - still time for another stretch goal or two!). Pledge raised by $15 for the THI suit!

| Progress report: Sedition Wars: Battle for Alabaster 3,415 Backers $739,065 pledged of $20,000 goal 19 HOURS to go Well, the $700k ceiling was SMASHED and Morgan is ours! The next stretch goal is very significant... This is the amount collected by Zombicide. This would be a new record. The reward? Every Biohazzard gets... "Close combat with the Strain is lethal, so Kara has decided to upgrade to her personal suit of Gnosis power armor. Built for extreme combat - with a self contained environmental envelope, internal medical systems, and enhanced tac-net connections - the Gnosis is the equalizer that the Vanguard will need if they're going put a stop to the Strain's malignant expansion." | |

| If only the campaign went a little longer. It is trending towards exponential growth! The new stretch goal is great. I am really liking the new models that are being added to Biohazard. The new suit for Kara would be a big value addition. Hopefully the model is great! I can't wait for the models to arrive. | |

| Very cool model - we should hit ths goal pretty easily - currently $762,516 (14 hours to go) - so $19K left in 14 hours.
The Gnosis Suit looks cool - but a little chunky (I'd prefer it without the sword too).

| Progress report: Sedition Wars: Battle for Alabaster 3,728 Backers $818,522 pledged of $20,000 goal 7 HOURS to go Holy Strain! The Zombicide record was blown... and the Gnosis Armored Kara is ours, shipping in March 2013! Now they are aiming to break the record set by Ogre (the best board-game project) at $923,681. With 7 hours to go... can they make it? Very interesting reward. Every Biohazzard gets, Barker Zosa and his loader frame! Ships March 2013, unpainted and unassembled. But not to worry, he'll be available if we don't hit it for $25. "Bulkhead doors, airlocks, and walls can slow the progress of a tactical breach. Trained to use Exo-armor in tight conditions, Barker's Aphid industrial power-frame is perfect in the cramped conditions of Alabaster station. Customized with armor plating, industrial breaching tools and a close range kinesis shredder, Barker uses this suit to get to them before they can get to you." | |

That Barker exo suit for free would be too cool!

| Shocking! I can't believe how much this made in the final few days. I really didn't think they would reach that last goal. These last 4 stretch goals have been incredible. 4 fantastic models. Too bad they don't ship till March... Great value with all of the new models added in. | |

- Now we're officially the #1 funded board game ever on Kickstarter - and even typing that seems unreal!
One of the things I'm most proud of in this whole process is the comments section. When you look at most projects, even successful ones - the number of comments is rarely higher than the number of backers. Usually it's far lower. On Sedition Wars, there are well over three times as many comments as backers. That means we have already build a community around this product - and that excites me more than I can tell you. It's the community that will dictate the future of the game - if you guys don't engage with what we are doing and with each other - it won't last long. It's still early days, but we're off to a flying start. Amazing! | |

| I am pretty impressed on how well they did. Almost a million dollars is pretty crazy. Hopefully, they will sell some games when they release to the public. LOL.
My new pad will have some room for a game room but I need to run some air condition and heat to it as it is a walk in attic room area. Really hot in summer and very cold in winter.
I really like the idea of tile fighting, or something similiar to Space Hulk. The concept of space zombie is kinda cool and unique.
I hope there are too many cool games coming out on Kickstarter as this is my third game. On another note GW has not gotten any money from me in quite some time. What does that say? GW needs to get on board and create some really cool themes or ideas to bring back some gamers to the fold. | |

| doesn't GW have something coming out soon I am certain there was some thing
6th edition ummm what was it oh that's right 6th Edition WH40k..... LMFAOWFOTF [Laughing My Arse Off While Falling On the Floor.]
GW don't learn at all. They just slapped more gloss pics in changed a few words, the cover art and called it a new book.
Congrats to McVey Studios and the CmON! team and all of the backers. Didn't think you'd get so high...
I couldn't get the funds in time and even if I could I think I have far to much to do with out adding in a space Zombie game. [you have no idea how much brownie points I got for "walking" away from spending money"]
On a brighter note I may have missed out on Sedition Wars but I got a game I can play against my Kids which to me is priceless. [Super Dungeon Explore]
Keep us all updated on when your new toys arrive give us an overview about your expectations and how they were rewarded and what fails happened.
Cheers LGW | |

| I was pretty sure you would be feeling some regret the day after. You can only do so many different things though.
I can't wait until the game ships. Well, I can be patient. But I am really excited to receive it! | |

| I would have loved to jump in on it...but the logistics of buying it discreetly, shipping it to someone else, then sneaking it into my attic to later pull out as if I'd had it all along seemed like too much trouble. Stupid wife and her logic, who cares if I don't need to spend a hundred bucks for something I may never use, look at all those...err flat grey miniatures! | |

| Claus....I hear you. I am in the same boat, I doubt if I will really ever get to use the miniatures but I couldn't resist.
I am hoping to get up a small game group in a few weeks. I just need to get a cheap 4 x4 or 4x 6 table so I can put up all the frakin terrain I have in rubbermaid containers.It may never be played in a game but it will look freakin cool. LOL.
When I get it set up I will take pics and post up the stuff. | |
