Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to give a quick update on what we’re working on and do a quick overview of the end of the year and hopes for the coming year.
Sculpting missing units and working on upcoming products: Currently the Holt Tractor/Artillery model is being worked on (almost done).
Other sculpts planned:
BEF Command Squad
Mortar and Crew (with Doughboy, USMC, and other variants)
Founder Tripod
Overseer Tripod
Thunderchild II
Annie Oakley’s Lady Sharpshooters
Constructor Engine
BEF Artillery
More to be announced.
In the process of being manufactured:
Turrets (both Martian and Human)
Defensive Walls
The Goliath (need some more equipment)
Statue of St. Louis (need some more equipment)
Play testing some new scenarios, units, and theme lists (if you’d like to be involved, let me know).
To help advance production, I’m looking for more sculptors. Darren is amazing and we will continue to work with him. But I need more vehicle sculptors. I’ll be reaching out to more people in the industry, if yo have any suggestions, please let me know.
Getting more exposure to the game: I’ve been working on building up our FB page and advertising on gaming related sites. We plan to head to more conventions in 2017, so hopefully we’ll be able to meet you in person.
We’ve been contacting retail stores and offering up free demo kits for All Quiet on the Martian Front. If you have a favorite LGS, please let me know and I’ll shoot them an email to see if they’re interested and where they can purchase our game.
Finally – I hope that each of you have a safe and happy holiday season, Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!
-Joe

Excellent news. A great list of additions. I for one greatly anticipate their availability.

Sounds great! Very impressed. I hope I can coordinate some of my upcoming novels with what you are doing (and maybe vice-versa).

Very excited about the projected new products - especially some of the more 'obscure' units like the Lady Sharpshooters, Founder Tripod, and Construction Machine. Bravo!!

That's great news Joe. I need turrets for trench bunkers and scratch-built river gunboats, plus BEF command squads and the new tripods.
Is the Holt tractor going to be available as the artillery towing version and early mobile artillery version? I'd prefer to use Holt tractors to tow heavy field guns instead of Mk IIt tanks.
I didn't see the Gatherer tripod on the list. I think a couple would be needed to run an effective Harvest scenario.
Happy holidays!

ironcladgames Great news. You need to try and get in the wargaming press as well. War-games Soldiers and Strategy is a popular magazine ins Europe, also Miniature War-games has a Scifi section maybe you should send them a starter set.

I get the electronic version and love that it is so economical. I believe Clive was able to get a write-up published during the earlier days of AQMF. I'm sure they'd be quite open to the updated story. They also do reviews of new releases...another place to find exposure.

I would request adding a crew of stout doughboys with a "stovepipe" (AKA a bazooka) and also portee mounts for medium artillery and a multiple rocket launcher. The Stovepipe and a multiple rocket launcher on a wagon would be nice for Native American resistance fighters.
If at all possible, a 15mm figure of Teddy Roosevelt would be useful.
