Interessante l'ultimo commento su GF
Just a little heads up about Archons studio's past (from a thread about publishers with poor crowdfunding history on BGG), regarding this campaign:
Archon Studio:
AKA Prodos Games
AKA Load Board Game
''One of the seediest companies on KS. Constantly changes names to try and get away from their terrible track record. When asked about missing pledges (for a game that was actually shipped), the publishers not only refused to compensate, but literally used the "KS doesn't guarantee you'll get an item" line. Mind you, this wasn't some game that never hit the production line, this was a game that people received.
LOAD and RE-LOAD • Tons of people never got their painted miniatures ($250 extra) • People who backed the reprint got their games before some people who backed the initial print run • Fulfillment issues - missing components • Fulfillment issues - undelivered games
Demigods Evolution • Besides a lot of misinformation, it seems that the publisher either just skipped with the funds, or used it to push their other games out the door first. • Fulfillment issues - undelivered games
Vanguard of War (first print run) • Didn't honor "refund if unsatisfied" promise • Didn't honor free shipping promise • Retailed below KS price • Fulfillment issues - undelivered games
Alien Vs. Predator • As of 2018, now 4 years late. This is a game that was not only available in retail, but actually had a 2nd edition printed, and backers of the first KS still haven't gotten anything. • Fulfillment issues - undelivered games''

This is what is making me nervous about backing this game, when it was announced Archon had the licence for the EUR version, previous backers of them under the name of Prodos warned people to avoid them at all costs as they were so bad they had to change their name to avoid all the negative publicity. Didn't know they pulled this trick twice. Hoping Archon will put out some sort of statement clarifying the above and letting us know why we should trust them this time around...
