Definitely in on this. I have the original and it's brilliant (got the SNAFU expansion too).

 I am in for the Grinder+SNAFU pledges yes i know its naughty but I did msg Jim Bailey and apologize for my double dipping of the stretch goals but I don't own the original Incursion and I have limited funds so the more I get the better it will be for me. 

 This will be my last Kickstarter for this year [unless Mongoose Publishing kickstart Blue shift or West Wind does Secret of The Third Reich]

I got to many things coming:

Impact Miniatures Dungeons and Dragons Chibi themed 
Zombicide Season 2 
All Quiet on the Martian front 
Judge Dredd from Mongoose publishing [well got most of the stuff still waiting on three boxes of stuff and some more characters]

so the next 9 months or so will be very busy.

LGW

I almost went in for All Quite on the Martian Front - it looked like an interesting game.

I'm in for the double feature. I may revise this as I have the original incursion and SNAFU. But the models and stretch goals look pretty good.

At the minute I am waiting on...

Sedition Wars Wave 2 (Still!)
Mierce Miniatures Wave 2 (Angelcynn) - I already have my Dragon men
Arena Rex (The gladiators looked too cool!)
Through the Breach (might be a route into a Malifaux gang or two)
Robotech (very excited about this)
Deadzone (bucketload of minis and terrain for DS, plus some interesting rules)
Raging Heroes - toughest girls in the galaxy (all female squads for DS here we come!)
 
All in all far too much spent on toy soldiers that I haven't received yet, but the payoff will be a big one.

Cheers Laney

I have moved away from full scale 28mm games and went with 15mm. Only games I do in 28mm is Skirmish board games. 

I have:
750pts Battlegroup Kursk Germans [100% Painted]
750pts Battlegroup Kursk Soviets [99.9% Painted] just need to paint 2 jeeps and 1 sniper.
750pts Battlegroup Overlord Germans [100% Painted]
750pts Battlegroup Overlord British [100% Painted]

I couldn't pass on All Quiet on the Martian Front infact I went way above what I was planning to spend. 
Originally I was only going to get some of the Tripods to convert into Battlegroup but after talking about looking at the way the game plays the tanks I couldn't just dip my toes in and instead just plunged into Early Bird Martian Pod Leader. 
Looking forward to August 2013 [Impacts Chibi minis]
Looking forward to September 2013 [Zombicide Season 2]
Looking forward to December 2013 [All Quiet On The Eastern Front] 
Looking forward to March 2014 [Incursion]

One other thing I have on order is Warmachine High Command and Hordes High Command. Basically Warmmhordes card game from Privateer Press. 
Should be interesting... As I have also gone into a few card games. my current fav is BOSS MONSTER!!!!!! that game rocks... 

If I get time tomorrow will take some pics of my 15mm WW2 armies to show you what I have been up to.

Update:



Incursion has been Funded and we also now have the first goal completed and with plenty more to come:


so go on over check out the KS project see it you want to join the battle between the Axis and Allies see who can utilize the weird and bizarre to take control of the WORLD!!!

LGW

Much slower going than I would have expected, but anything from here on is a bonus for me. Maybe the kickstarter bubble has burst or maybe its because of the high starting limit (75k).

I expect 'entitlement' and lack of freebies to be mentioned soon either on the kickstarter comments or dakka dakka (seems to happen with every kickstarter).

Onwards and upwards from here!

Cheers Laney

its should hopefully increase soon once Jim Bailey adds in the pledge level that will cater to the backer that already owns the original versions of Incursion and SNAFU.

as I know there are alot of negative comments on DakkaDakka and BGG regarding the lack of support of Original buyers of the game. 

we are so close to the 2nd stretch goal 

time will tell but last time I check kicktraq it had the project at around $300k+

Cheers
LGW

just a quick update they did add in a new pledge level. 

the Ale Carte - Pledge $1USD and then add on any of the Add ons if your total is over $60USD then you will get the Gretel Icon Stretch goals. This was set up for the 1st Edition owners of Incursion so they can get what they want. 

The game play vid should be here some time next week.

the amount is starting to yoyo so please if you haven't had a look yet go see what the game can offer.

the game play Video was added onto the KS page go have a look at the above link and see what you think

LGW

Update:

542 backers
$109,354 pledged of $75,000 goal
7 days to go

only 1 week left before the Incursion Kickstarter ends...

we are awaiting the price point for the SWD drop troopers which will be in metal as the plastic version would only be unlocked if we get to $250k [which seems a big stretch at the moment]

I am currently in for the Grinder and SNAFU level but with the Drop troops most likely around the $55USD to $65USD range I may have to drop off the SNAFU pack and use the funds to pay for the Drop troopers.

Is there anyone who would want to add to my pledge and split the postage and rewards?

msg me if your keen.

Cheers
LGW

Ok guys here's an update I have been waiting for. At this stage no confirmed price yet, we will get more info tomorrow. So far this unit can be used against the U.S APE's and the MI-13 British troops. But here is the Fun part the Drop Troopers can be used to fight against Hugo Von X as the German High command believe he has gone to far. Either way this new unit will be awesome to play.

they will be in metal with separate metal heads.  Plastic versions won't be here until we hit the $250k mark [considering we are at $110k not sure if we'll get there, though we can dam well give it a go]

if you haven't seen this Kickstarter project you got 6 days to before it ends so get over there and have a look. 

The German Drop Troopers:


The Starter pack has 7 minis:
Hilde Becker, Sarge, MG42 Trooper#1, Flammenwerfer #1, Panzerfaustwerfer#1,Trooper #1,Trooper #2, Drop trooper Dice set.

Reinforcement pack:
Panzerfaustwerfer#2, Flammenwerfer #2, MG42 Trooper#2, Trooper #3, and Trooper #4.

Creator Jim Bailey about 2 hours ago 
I just got off the phone with John Roberts. We're gonna do these two things: 
1. Add a box of Sturmzombies to Grinder and Double Feature 
2. Lift ALL restrictions on Buckets of Blood switch-outs. 
I just informed my colleagues that I will be "not in the office" for the next three days. I intend to create a pledge tracker banner at the top of the home page that links to a "what you currently get" page and we will fill out some stretches beyond 205 k. 
Let's take this thing home, people...

So guys now there shouldn't be any excuses not join [having a restrictive bank manager aka the wife my let you off this time]
so spread the word.

new update guys

We are entering the final 48 hrs. of our Kickstarter campaign to print 2nd edition Incursion. Please visit us:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1440310529/incursion

We have made SWEEPING changes to the campaign since its opening day. Some of the things we have done/achieved:

1. Provided European fulfillment so you pay no import duties in EU.

2. Added a free set of 24 Sturmzombies to the core pledge levels: Grinder and Double Feature yielding 77 and 94 figures (including some large ones) at base-buy in at each of those levels respectively.

3. Massively compressed stretch goals by almost 75%. As of this writing we have unlocked 13 stretch goals. This represents 27 new free figures with associated cards at the Buckets of Blood pledge level.

4. Increased flexibility of Buckets of Blood pledge level by allowing you to switch out the t-shirt and/or extra board for Add-on credit.

5. Added the much requested Fallschirmjager Drop Armor figures and cards.

6. Provided a complete game play video

7. Added two new pledge levels (SNAFU and Ala Carte) to better serve existing fans and provide more add-on flexibility for new fans.

With your help, we will get this campaign up to 205k and include many more free figures (including the new Fallschimjager drop armor in plastic), lots of dice, plastic doors, waterslide transfers, new sculpts, and more.

Since we are catering to a wide variety of desires within our existing fan base as well as new fans, the options available in the campaign may appear complex. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to send us an email or contact us through Kickstarter or ask your question on the Kickstarter comments section. We would be happy to personally walk you through your options if necessary. Here is a link to the pledge calculator that explains options:

Please help us by spreading this message to every forum, website, Facebook page, etc. that you know of. Feel free to copy and paste!

Thank you all in advance for your support and your help in bringing this incredible game to life in the form it deserves.

Sincerely,

Jim Bailey and John Roberts

I wish I had the money to keep this one going, but I've got to wait for retail, car tax and a new kitchen have just swallowed my hobby budget! (Boo!). It really has picked up since I last checked, so $200k is not totally out of the question.

The way its going I think there is a dam good chance we could get to $205k...

just depends on the mood of the fence sitters. I am going to be adding in some stuff post Kickstarter as we will be able to add to the project and pay with paypal and that amount will be added to the total funds. And then latter on we get to add more when the pledge manager comes out [that amount won't be added to the fund totals]

really excited about this as I love this type of game system.
I am in the process of designing a special Unit the 7th fallschirmjäger Greywolves already have a use for the exclusive Gretel mini we all get. I turned her into a clone and named her Agent GX. got a data card made thx to Jim Slade off the comments section and will see if he can make up the cards for the Greywolves. 

I'll keep on posting here as it unfolds.
