DrugWarZ Rules shipping soon
over 3 years ago – Sat, May 01, 2021 at 07:47:24 AM

Hi All,

Thanks for your patience.

The DrugWarZ rules just went to print so will be shipping soon. PDFs should go out this weekend.

I will be closing the preorder store after this weekend (you can still order more items at the discount) and moving the range to the BrigadeGames.com webstore. The rules will be preorder there and will not ship until all backers who purchased the DWZ rules have their copies shipped.

Same backerkit store link above (green button) for this weekend. This is the link: https://drug-warz-28mm-minis.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

For the few of you who have not responded to your survey to pick your packs, provide your address and pay for at least your shipping, this is your last chance.

We had some last minute adjustments to a few of the rules based on a last playtest and we felt it was important to add those clarifications. 

I am hoping the minis have brought you some joy in this crazy time. I am looking forward to hearing your battle reports about the rules.

We have a new, part 2, French and Indian War Kickstarter beginning Thursday, May 6th.

Follow the project on KS here:  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brigadegames/this-very-ground-2-french-and-indian-wars-28mm-minis 

Many thanks,

Lon

The Latest News We Have Cooked Up!
almost 4 years ago – Thu, Jan 28, 2021 at 05:35:10 PM

Hi Everyone,

Here is the latest batch of crystal blue we have cooked up. 

Backers, still need to complete your survey (There are about 14 of you!): We have sent the survey out at least a dozen times, so if you have not completed your Backerkit survey, check your spam box. You can use this link to enter your Kickstarter email to get a survey sent to you:  https://drug-warz-28mm-minis.backerkit.com/ 

Miniatures

As many of you have realized, we have started shipping miniatures. Mrs. Weiss has been busy bagging,  labeling and picking your kickstarters, while I check, pack and ship them. These are shipping by USPS Priority Mail for USA customers. Understand that there are still ongoing issues with staffing at the post across the entire country. 

We started shipping late last week and are about half way through all backers. We have not shipped any international orders from last Thursday until today because on Jan 21 our US Post decided to change the minimum box size (4" height) and not tell anyone. All of our overseas boxes we typically use are 3" height. We just had new boxes arrive today so will be processing the international orders over the next several mailing days. 

We anticipate having all USA backers out by Monday. We should have all non-UK international orders out by early next week. 

If you prefer to have your international shipment ship by UPS or DHL, let me know at: [email protected] and I will give you a quote for the additional shipping based upon your choice. Both UPS and DHL would be about 5 days transit, versus the 15 days the post is quoting. Understand that we are hearing from customers that some parcels are getting to international destinations in the normal 5-10 days by US Post, and others it is taking longer. No matter the service, we can not give you a guaranteed date or timeframe as once it leaves us it is in the hands of the deity of parcel transportation.

UK Backers

I will be contacting each of you directly regarding the Brexit rules change with VAT. 

Rulebook - printed and PDF

Rich has passed the rulebook on to Dave for layout, photos, etc. Once this is done and the final version signed off, the PDF will be created and sent to those who get it. 

Additional Minis, preorder the PDF or printed Rulebook

If you want additional minis, or to preorder the rulebook, you can go back into backerkit and submit a new order. This is the backerkit store link:

 https://drug-warz-28mm-minis.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders/ 

Help Us on Social Media and Get a Chance at a Gift Certificate

If anyone would like to post their nicely painted BrigadeGames DrugWarZ painted figures on social media, TMP, etc., tag BrigadeGames and the backerkit store link above. Let me know you did so at: [email protected] with a link to your post, and I will put you in a drawing for one of four store coupons for $25 each good towards BrigadeGames brand products. You will be able to choose from the webstore or the backerkit store to use your credit. Each post will get you an entry as long as you let me know at the email above (with a maximum of 10 entries per backer.) It would be best to provide me a consolidated list of links in one email and to make sure you provide your full name and social media/TMP names. I will do the drawing on February 28th. 

I hope everyone loves the miniatures as I think they came out quite nice and the casting us superb.

Please follow us on all social media, our newsletter at BrigadeGames.com , and here on Kickstarter as we have a bunch of Kickstarters planned for this year.

Thanks and Paint On!

Backerkit Surveys are going out!
almost 4 years ago – Sat, Dec 05, 2020 at 01:52:42 PM

Hi all,

I am about to send the BackerKit survey email out to about a dozen backers. This is used as a test to ensure there are no issues with the survey. If you are one of those backers, please complete your survey and please make sure you let me know it you have any issues.

Tomorrow I will send the BackerKit survey email to all other backers.

So everyone watch out for the Backerkit survey email.

Miniatures are casting now so we will start shipping them in about 2 weeks. The miniatures will ship before  the rules.

You will have the opportunity to upgrade your pledge to one of 2 new pledge levels (or the Hardcore pledge level or the 2 new pledge levels if you are not already in the Hardcore level.) See the new pledge levels below.

You will also have the ability to add any code or add multiples to get more of one code.

You will also have the ability to add the Drug WarZ rules as a print or PDF Preorder copy. If you preorder the printed Drug WarZ rules, you will get a PDF free. The PDF is expected to ship in late December or early January, and the printed book in January. Rich is putting the finishing touches on them now so he can get them to Dave for layout. 

To upgrade your Pledge, click the switch pledge level link (see example picture)

If you click upgrade your pledge, you can always choose to cancel and it will go back to your original pledge . The original amount you pledged and paid in Kickstarter will be reflected here and will go towards your balance due. Minimally, you will need to pay the shipping cost, and your total due will reflect the items you add, any upgraded pledge and shipping, minus the amount you paid Kickstarter.

DWZ Status Update
about 4 years ago – Fri, Oct 09, 2020 at 06:30:20 PM

Hi All,

All of the additional greens made it across the pond and are in molding. Once I have the master metals back, I will be able to take some pics of the final packs I need and finish the survey.

Some of the items that we never got to in the Kickstarter will be available as add-ons.

I have a second pack of Policia Command, which is going to include "The Colonel"

Another add-on pack that will be available is the Narc Unit.

Molding should be finished in about 2 weeks and then casting will begin. Rich is finishing up the DWZ rules.

We are making good progress. Nothing is holding up anything.

I hope you are all doing well and staying safe.

Thanks for your support,

Lon

DEA Agents 1 have been unlocked
about 4 years ago – Mon, Aug 17, 2020 at 08:48:12 PM

Hi Everyone,

We have just cracked $8000 and have now unlocked the DEA Agents 1.

I can not edit the image at the moment as I am not at my home base. 

Not much more for us to unlock the Drug WarZ rules.

Let us keep this going.

Thanks,

Lon
