Production update!
Update #68 · Nov. 02, 2012

Hi everyone! Here’s a production update (at last).


We’ve hit a bit of a snag – all 6000 Sedition Wars boxed games for Kickstarter are ready, but the extra Biohazard models meant to go out with this shipment will only be ready November the 10th. Via the fastest boats to the USA and UK, we are likely to begin shipping these out at the beginning of December rather than November as originally hoped, but do anticipate being able to ship both the EU and USA at the same time.

There was a little drama with the printing sub-contractor when the boss disappeared with all his company’s funds (if you read Chinese you can probably Google it) – fortunately we were able to get most of the Sedition Wars printed materials out of the factory and get the remaining stuff reprinted by another printer.

What’s coming in this shipment:- the game, Biohazard extra pack A (extra models, but not the new ones, that’ll be next year), the Lights Out campaign pack and components and extra dice. We know this is a disappointment, so Mike and team are coming up with an extra character fig to put in Biohazard pack B for next year, which will go out to all Biohazard level backers for free (one per Biohazard level pledge). As we get firmer shipping dates we’ll let you know, but don’t anticipate further delays. We’ll be updating with the concepts for the new character soon so stay tuned!

Once again, from the crew at CMON and Studio McVey we’re really sorry about the delay and hope you like the new character.

Gepostet gestern von Mike McVey:

Okay - looks like another update is in order. I promise that I don't hold off posting here to frustrate people, it's just hard to know when to post if there is nothing definite to say (and I'm not going to post a report every day saying "sorry, no news today!").

I'm pretty frustrated at this point too - the game is 100% done and ready as it has been for a while, but the intricacies of the shipping process are a mystery to me, and I speak as someone who has arranged and coordinated many shipments from China over the years. The last I heard (today) was that it was still in the booking process - which means they are finding suitable boats to load the goods onto. This is what usually causes delays - it's not like shipping a single package that will always take around the same time, and transport for that package leaves on a regular basis. The shipping agent has to find a suitable boat (i.e., that is headed where you want the goods, and has room), and book onto that. If there is a delay it may miss that boat and have to wait for another - I have even had goods taken off a boat that was damaged in port and had to be loaded onto another.

So yes - the bad news is, it seems highly unlikely that the game will make it into your hands before Christmas, and I can't even begin to tell you how sad that makes me. We've worked long and hard on this product with the sole intention of letting people play it and (hopefully) have a great time. The reality is though - once it's in the production process, it's largely out of my hands - and that's pretty frustrating. The most I can do it beg, plead, shout and cajole to try and speed things along - sometimes that helps and sometimes it doesn't. The truth is also - the KS created a lot more work - new components and a double sized production run, and we underestimated how long that was going to take to run through the factories. Then we had the melt-down with the printing company, which we came out of relatively unscathed, apart from making things later. Believe me, that could have gone A LOT worse for us...

In the mean time, all I can do it take care of the things that are within my control - and that's the extra figures and content for the Kick-starter rewards, (which are going really well) and continue to work on Sedition Wars: AoS (which I am extremely excited about!).

So that's the update - not great news I'm afraid. I promise though, as soon as I know the games are on the ocean, I'll post the news here.

cheers for now

Ja sehr schade. Aber da sind sie nicht die Einzigen. Impact Games wird es wohl auch nicht vor Weihnachten schaffen. Stelle mich mental schon auf Februar ein. Und wenn es früher wird umso besser. Auch bei Relic Knight denke ich das wird eher was im Juli/August, weil da ist noch so viel mehr zu tuen. Flames War und Deep Wars sollte auch früher kommen. Ersteres ist jetzt da und das zweite läßt noch auf sich warten. Soviel zu Terminen in Kickstartern.

Ich weiß immer noch nicht was AoS ist außer einer Erweiterung.

Weiß eigentlich schon wer wann und ob die Sachen die es durch den KS extra gab in den Handel kommen? ich hab ja viel mit bestellt aber halt nicht alles.

Diese limitierten Figuren soll es ja erst nächstes Jahr geben und waren extra für die Kickstarter gedacht und es soll welche auf Conventions geben.
Selbiges für einige andere Extras, aber ich glaub das Gelände gibts später regulär (für Kickstarter gabs ja den Rabatt)

AoS

Die Erweiterung für Sedition Wars - Battle for Alabaster ist entwicklungstechnisch schon in der Pipline. Nach aktuellem Stand wird sie Firebrand, Strain und Vanguard und Bountyhunters enthalten, in welcher Zusammensetzung ist aber noch nicht bekannt. Bekannt hingegen ist, dass sie 20+ neue Miniaturen und neue Bodenplatten/Korridore enthalten wird. Die Miniaturen werden gerade modelliert bzw. sind schon in der Vorproduktion.

Die Erweiterung wird ohne Kickstarter erscheinen, da die Erlöse aus dem SW-Kickstarter mehr als ausreichend waren um AoS so produzieren zu können.

AoS wird, wenn alles gut läuft, in der ersten Hälfte 2013 erscheinen.

Auf der Kickstarter Seite von SW, der Link ist ja im ersten Beitrag zu finden, aber da ich so nett bin quote ich dir das mal raus:
How will you handle shipping in Europe?

We've figured that we should be able to ship within the EU from the UK. Shipping will still cost the same ($25 extra for the first box game) as we'll need to deal with customs and VAT on your behalf if you're in the EU, and to cover the extra cost of shipping less than a container load for UK fulfillment.

This will mean that you won't have any issues with possible customs queries, additional tax or other hassles, making your Sedition Wars experience that much smoother!
