I want to stress an open line of communication with the community so here is an update from the past week.
Today I spoke to two of the three companies that were being used to cast / create models for All Quiet on the Martian Front. I am happy to report that both companies have the molds for these products and they are intact and have not been destroyed. There was a lot of false rumors going around that all of the molds were recycled and that is simply not true.
We still don't know the quality or condition of the resin molds. We are working on gathering that data right now.
Next week I will be traveling to these facilities to see the molds myself and work out agreements to begin producing products (in a little while - nothing is being made anytime soon).
There are still several major hurdles to overcome in the next few months but from our perspective this is fantastic news.

Thanks for the update Steve. That's wonderful news. Do you know yet if the molds for the plastic tanks and tripods are ok? Whenever you're ready to go, we'll be here to support you.

Yes that is really good news! There was a guy here a few months ago who claimed to have absolute verification that the molds had been destroyed. (I think he's over on Dakka-Dakka now spreading the same garbage).
Glad to hear that things are looking good.

Great news! I have been collecting unbuilt models in case you can't find the molds. I'm happy to donate to the cause for the ones I have.
Point of note: the plastic molds for the tanks has one side that is much less detailed than the other. If this can be fixed to make them identical that would be fantastic.

Great news and thank you for keeping us informed. I am hoping that the Texas stuff and US armoured cars and in with all the moulds.

I wish you all the best. I hope that you take your time, that you keep the re-launch small and simple, and that you keep fan expectations low.
Rushing the physical components of this game out the door without first re-organizing the rules, and then adding some introductory scenarios, would repeat a mistake that helped sink AQMF the first time.

Pardon me if this is a tad off topic, but I think Ironclad 1 and 2 should have gold stars and titles like Invasion Master or General-of-the-Armies instead of being humble drones. Their words offer much more weight than even a moderator.

I'd go with Master Blaster. "Who owns Barter Town?"

Good to hear.
The rumour mill was working overtime at other forums.
The 'Upgrade' to their subtitles seems a good idea, if we get alot of new blood into the Forum it would be easier to identify the new ownership.

Great news & looking forward to supporting your product. Do see the discussion about the legs for the Grenadier and Reaper figures elsewhere. A good number of the modeling community think the Reaper should have 'stronger' looking legs for example.

And fix the less defined side of the tanks!

fixing that side of the tank would require retooling the plastic molds which would WAY more money then they prolly want to spend

Sadly, Tyrela is correct. Frankly, I would not expect ANY changes to the models in the short term.

On that mold it could be as little as routing out the side slightly. It wouldn't require an entirely new mold, so I'm not going to give up all hope.
