Just a quick update to let you know that shipping has started.

First 27 pledges went in the post today.

Hopefully people have been getting dispatch note from Backerkit.

Looking forward to getting everything dispatched over next 2-3 weeks.

Rulebook and Source Book prints received back from printers.

 Today is a bit of a milestone day in the development of ACP164: The Albedo Miniatures Game. We now have in our hands the first glossy, full color printed versions of the ACP164 rulebook and sourcebook. It's been a huge undertaking spanning three continents to get from the initial conception to the printed product involving a great time of writers, illustrators, painters, graphic design and layout, proof reading, editing and finally printing.
The good news is that we are still on track to hit our original target of Kickstarter fulfillment by end of July followed by full retail release!

Nearly done...

A late update from me.  All the books are going to be printed next week and I know that Chris & Anne are simply gagging to mail out the pledges.  They have both been working many hours into the night to get the layout done... (Lesson learned: MS Publisher is no good for anything except brochures.)

On a personal note, I never expected this project to have grown so far and so fast, or to have accomplished so much in the process.  What started out as a simple idea for some miniatures has turned into a complete game system.  Thanks once again for your faith in us.

It would be remiss of me not to mention Wave 2 at this point.  In between fits of incoherent rage at Microsoft, we've been actively planning the next releases, to be titled 'Boarding Party' and to cover combat aboard space ships and in space.

It will include a bunch of new critter types, and some new vehicles as well - including the Aerodyne - more of this in a future update.

Finally, a shameless plug for Sally 4th's current kickstarter: Whiteout. 

Apart from being a set of really neat miniatures, this includes a nice, immersive game system for solo or team play.  I'm considering an extension to my house so that I can fit this in, as well as all the Albedo goodness that's coming!

Miniatures sculpted, moulded, cast, picked & packed!

It looks like May is going to have two red letter days!

I can report that today we received the spins from the last production moulds needed for this Kickstarter, so we have every miniature to go into pledges sculpted, moulds made, lead spun, miniatures picked and packed.

We still have books, player aids, terrain & LARCS being worked on, but the miniatures & cards are all done.

Overall, we are still on track for July shipping, so...

Next week (7th June) we will be freezing shipping addresses on Backerkit, so if you will have moved house in July from when you pledged, please pop over to Backerkit and get address updated before we freeze them and start printing address labels. If something comes up at the last minute you can email us.

All of the products funded through the Kickstarter will be available eventually through retail. Once we have dispatched the last backer pledge we will start adding them to the Albedo Miniatures Webstore , however there is a lot of stuff to release, so the releases will be spread over 6 months. This is the Albedo Miniatures releases schedule for the second half of 2019, so if you want any extra stuff in July rather than waiting for it's release date, you have until 7th June to order via Backerkit.

ACP 164 Card Decks
almost 5 years ago – Thu, May 16, 2019 at 06:19:31 PM

Today is a bit of a red letter day in the ACP164 development calendar.

The production cards have arrived back from the printers and they are fantastic.

We upgraded to superior lamination front and back, so they look great, feel great and are going to last really well.

As well as the standard set (EDF Action, ILR Action, Activation Deck), we have produced the EDF & ILR Action Decks each with three back designs so that if you are playing with three players per side, the decks will not get mixed up.

I hope you like them as much as we do!
