Production Progress Report:
COVID STRIKES BACK
While we have has success working on the artwork including new maps by the talented Sven Lugar, and have found several places to do the plastic injection molding we had a significant setback with one of the manufacturing steps. The company who was doing the model conversion from a format for 3D printing (*.STL) to a CAD format (*.STEP) format went under due, as it was explained to me, to COVID related losses and economic hardships.
The progress made in doing the conversion was lost and now we have to find a new company to do the conversion for us.
Despite this minor hurdle we are in fact continuing forward and are still on track for a late first quarter/early second quarter 2021 Kickstarter.
Here is a little bit of a sneak peak at something we introduced into the new rules: ORDERS
During the first phase of the turn every player has the option of placing orders down on their units before the roll for initiative. These orders are:
Rally On Me! – Automatically rallies a broken Unit (Human units only).
Double Time! – Doubles the Speed of a Unit if it takes a move action until the end of the turn.
Pour It On! – Allows a Unit to reroll missed attacks during an attack action.
Maximum Effort! – This order requires two Command Tokens and allows a Unit to take a bonus third action. This bonus action may be an action already taken during the current activation.
