Nuovo update:
Production Update
Posted by Chris Birch, Modiphius (Partner)
Hi there quick update the team are working hard to meet the revised factory deadlines which is the final counter sheet and tiles before the end of the month (we're doing some updates to the grid on the tiles to make them more easy to use and the factory are currently 3d printing all the minis for approval before making the tools) and the rules during December (which don't need as long to print)
We'll do a more detailed update this week with some of the sculpts you've not seen yet and more tiles.
SHIPPING?
Regarding shipping and expansions we have worked with the factory on timelines and with work still to be completed on the two main expansions we have decided on the following plan.
I've talked to the whole team at length about this and they're under a huge amount of pressure to complete a lot of different elements at the same time. Letting them focus on just the core game for the next few weeks ensures we get the very best work and quality for the foundation of this game without distraction and I believe this is the best way forward so we don't burn them out during the process and the game suffers for it.
So here's the plan:
- Core Box is to be completed and shipped out of China before Chinese new year if possible (end of Jan) = core box shipment end of March to backers. If we fail to get it out by end of Jan we have to wait a month for the ship so it would ship in early March from China and fulfilment would be late April. As soon as the core box components are off to print the team then focuses all efforts on completing the expansions rules components and stretch goals with a view to shipping from china around March/April and fulfilment in May/June.
- Backers will be able to choose one or two shipments - a shipment of the Core and separately the expansions or just one shipment when it's all ready. When we announce shipping pricing we'll try to give as accurate a possible timeline on a single shipment so you can make the most informed decision as to whether you are happy waiting for the whole package or would rather get your base game and get playing.
We can't finalise the shipping prices until the expansions plastics have been properly analysed by the factory (then we can get the most accurate weights) so bear with us for the shipping payment phase. It's not long now.
As you may know are working with FFG to distribute the retail version of the base game. They would likely do their own box design and we have to send all the tooling to their factory it's likely this would be after we ship the expansions as this handover will take some time and can't be started until we've completed production on all the base components. We'll of course give you an update on this as well before you have to decide on whether you have 1 or 2 shipments.
Thanks for the patience, and we'll be sharing more this week

Ora, o mi sono perso io qualcosa, ma qui parlano di spedizioni quando di gameplay non mi pare abbiano parlato quasi nulla finora. Mi sono perso io qualche passaggio?!
