As the new game is really a reboot than a second edition I have created a new board under the All Quiet on the Martian Front Category for discussion of the rules and background

Quendil (and others!)
That's an official statement from our team. We are making sure taxes and fees don't keep you from being able to enjoy the game.
Ok that is good news for people but it still means high shipping costs without a UK or Eu distributor. I have been told its an estimated cost of $75 for the largest pledge. I am heavily invested in the original game not just with miniatures but with the existing lore. It seems the new game does not follow on from the old game but is just a follow on from the HG Wells Book. So if shipping is a third of $75 for the book it makes it very expensive for just some new rules with the fluff not being relevant to the older version. Also I don't need any germans and have lots of lobotons so if I wanted to just add on some of the new tripods there is not a pledge to do that. (The $1 pledge does not allow add ons) Also without knowing how much the shipping could be it can make a few tripods very expensive. November 2024 also seems along way off to get a product that is supposedly finished apart from the book. I understand the book layout and printing takes time but I understand this is separate from the models so why would they take that long to produce and ship? A lot of people have asked for a PDF rulebook only pledge but they not been answered. I also find the fact that this kickstarter has been promised for years now it seemed very rushed and disorganised. How come the EU/UK shipping and taxes costs were not thought about until after the kickstarted was started? It also seems to be the same for finding manufacturers of the products overseas. As this campaign seems primarily focused on STLs and people printing the models surely more effort to find overseas printers should have been done before launching the kickstarter. Now although I do have concerns I wish the project every success and I hope in the future we will be able to buy models from UK and EU distributors.

They have put up some milestone rewards for those of you backing the kickstarter. There are more on the kickstarter. Unfortunately without any estimated shipping costs I can't risk backing it.

Still waiting for estimated shipping costs. I had to cancel my pledge due to uncertainty on shipping and taxes. Currently with it all shipping from the USA I will have to pay an extra 25% tax and handling cost on top of shipping which makes it too expensive

Thank you for clarifying most of it! Now it is back to the pledge page to see what I can afford. I shall probably pick up some of the new tripods when released
