By the way, is there any news about pilots and units of these big bombers?

My fault, I started speaking about Snoopy here.
I was OT.
After a short time, anyway, Ares did in such a way that we are not OT any more.

$9100 to Deck II, 143 FB Likes and 137 BGG Fans on the RAP to get posters...
They should add a Snoopy+Red Baron choice!
Agreed - a $30 pack - Snoopy, Camel, Red Baron.
I was really trying to stick with WW2 and with a focus on the War in the Pacific but the stretch goals and add-ons (yes, talking about you too Snoopy) make it tempting to stick a toe in with the Rookie pack. It is especially hard to resist since my in-house game room is now set up for full on Wings, so I can fly any war, any time...
Yes, I agree with you, Scott and Zoe.
Just saw update 7 ..."Oh Good Grief"..!
How I used that pack:

Attention Everyone:
I have merged the three big threads on the Ks into this one thread and revised the title to more clearly reflect what is being talked about. So, at points in the past posts, this might sound a little confusing as replies might not line up very well with the posts they were intended to follow. With a little concentration, I think one can sort it all out though.
I agree totally.

Great, now I only have to worry about updates to one thread.
Speaking of: $6675 to pushover on Deck II, 119 FB Likes and 118 BGG RAP Fans to posters. Start telling your buddies... hell, I've even asked non-gamers I know to have friends of theirs toss on some likes too. And if you're on FB or BGG and haven't added your likes, What Are You Waiting For?

I think the posters look really sweet, and I'd pay cash for one if they don't make the FB/BGG "like" goals -- and I'm sure a lot of the rest of you reading this feel the same way.
As the goals for the posters aren't directly connected to Kickstarter monetary pledges, is it possible Ares will allow the poster challenge to continue to collect "likes" even if it doesn't reach its goal by April 2nd? *crosses fingers*
And has it been said whether the posters would come rolled in a tube or folded? (I hope rolled so there'll be no creases!!! *bounces hopefully*)

I fear that rolled posters would have the same huge problem of mats - shipping cost.
I just signed up for my K/S. Plenty left for those still thinking about it.
I'm in, pledged for the veteran level. I considered joining in as a collector but somehow I want to get the remaining two bombers as "normal" editions.
Pledged for some more money still to get the delicious add-ons, especially all the game mats. I hope they make mousepad-versions of them later
Just under $4500 to Deck II, 106 each on FB and BGG to posters. We're getting there, slowly...
Around $3900 now... need 92 more likes on FB and 103 more fans of the RAP on BGG.
Weird but good ...
A few years ago I bought a nice poster frame for super cheap (maybe even free) at a garage sale. The frame was totally unused, being still new and shrink wrapped. I never used the frame because it didn't fit any of my posters, but I kept it anyway in my own garage, just in case I ever need it.
I just checked the frame. It's 50cm by 76cm.
The stretch-goal poster is 50cm by 70cm.
Assuming the stretch-goal poster gets printed, I'm ready!!!

I'm trying again: Any news on the Giants' pilots?
Dennis, my money's on the same as in the original Flight of the Giants box: I remember that the Staaken units were RFA 500 and 501, pilots were Schiller and Scholling, but not which was which or the O/400s.
It is in FotG Dennis - Hptn Arthur Schoeller RFA 500; Hptn Erich Schilling RFA 501

"He is wise who watches"
~$2300 to Deck II. $17.3k, 100 BGG fans and 74 FB Fans to close out the last remaining stretch goals, and four days to do it in. I still have $70 to throw in and I know of at least one $800 Retail pledge that hasn't hit play yet as of last update, so that's about 16.5k to go... IF we get a tail-spike like SGN
or Conan
or Galaxy Defenders 1st go-round
we should be OK. If we end up like the GD expansion, though... that one had a massive tailDROP.
Where we are now for comparison:
Looks like a normal tailspike runs anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 the first day... so if we assume a 1/4 tailspike at ten grand I think the remaining 2K over the 3 days between now and then is probable. However, I would not hold out hope for a $125K stretch goal...
There's another deck of skill cards, for bomber crews, at $110K--that's an even-number stretch, and the Last Big Push.
That's why I'm only "guardedly optimistic". Ares has had one go dramatically sideways in its last day too... I'd give us somewhere between 60-40 and 70-30 on pulling it out of the bag.
Now the Facebook and particularly BoardGameGeek social-media numbers... those worry me.
I think we'll get the Facebook numbers, not so sure about Boardgamegeek though....Facebook and particularly BoardGameGeek social-media numbers
How many of us here have BGG accounts?
If you have one, and you haven't Fanned the Rules & Acc Pack... You're Not Helping.
EDIT: Update - $1900 (oops, typo at first) to Deck II.
Just under a grand to Deck II, 64 FB Likes and those same troublesome 98 more fans on BGG to posters...
I don't understand... 582 backers. 582 people have seen the call for Fans on BoardGameGeek. At most, 202 have answered the call, which means at least 380 sitting around with their thumbs lodged up their bums. Help me understand... something for nothing and all you gotta do is toss a couple thumbs-ups and people still can't be bothered even with the incentive of free stuff?
Geeez. And gamers wonder why the rest of us perceive them the way we do... *rolls eyes*
Maybe they're not interested in a BGG registration.
I'm at BGG, but have no Facebook account. Of course I would not join Facebook only to get a KS poster.
Voilà le soleil d'Austerlitz!
I can sort of understand not registering for Facebook, In fact I only use it for just this sort of KS thumbing requirement that pops up from time to time.
However, any site that has resources like a list of card sleeves sizes for every game is worth looking at. Besides, how else are you going to lure the likes of X-Wing players back to the light side unless you are active on BGG?

Hy everybody,
