Freezing Eastern Front

Hello Everyone!

I hope that you all you remain safe and healthy.

We recently realised that we have not yet presented the packaging design for the Axis Aircraft Expansion. It will contain a set of three Ju87 and one S.boat miniatures. What do you think of the box layout?

The news from the producers is moderately optimistic. A week ago we've learned that the game components will ship later than planned just. Thus and due to the still ongoing global delays, we cannot promise that the game will be completed in February, which means that shipments will start in March at the earliest. We'd prefer to prepare you for the possibility that the game might eventually reach backers in April 2021. We don't know for sure yet, but from experience we can estimate that some of the final steps will take longer, or there will be further delays or problems beyond our control.

Stay safe!

Logistic puzzle to solve
over 3 years ago – Mon, Nov 16, 2020 at 03:41:04 PM

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are all safe and okay.

We received samples of ship models from the manufacturers, but it turned out that one of them has a different color than the one we chose. So, we asked the manufacturers to send us new samples - this time in the correct color. Unfortunately, it may turn out that this oversight on the part of the manufacturers may delay the delivery to backers.

We prefer to let you know in advance that the games may not reach you in December. We are still receiving information that many industries and our suppliers simply have too much work and too few employees. In addition, new restrictions are being introduced, which is causing additional delays above what we expected. Therefore, it is better to prepare you for 1941: Race to Moscow only reaching you in January or February 2021.

We received some mass production samples. The others are waiting for transport.

We have been cursed. One could say... a logistics game facing logistic problems. We have received information from the manufacturers today that there is currently a shortage of containers for the shipping of game components. This is a serious inconvenience, as the pre-Christmas period is approaching, with production and shipments being more intensive than at other times of the year.

As in 1941: Race to Moscow we have the supplies, but we do not have the supply lines to deliver everything to where we will eventually complete the games and ready them to be sent to backers.

Lots of backers of 1941: Race to Moscow placed an order for Fire in the Sky and are perhaps wondering what will happen with this game too. If you don't follow our social media, you may have missed a major update on Fire in the Sky. Please read the following note about this.

We would also like to remind you that you can try out 1941: Race to Moscow on Tabletopia.

Stay safe and take care of yourself!

News from the Eastern Front
over 3 years ago – Tue, Sep 08, 2020 at 07:22:06 PM

Hello Everyone!

I am very sorry that you have had to wait a little longer recently for information about the creation of the game, but we have entered a stage of very arduous work that may not necessarily be interesting for players. The most important thing, however, is that there is clear progress in the recent minor changes to the game and the release vision.

All the figurine samples sent to us have passed our quality tests and have been approved. This means that mass production of miniatures, the most time-consuming and production-intensive component of the game, has started. Once the figurines are ready, they must be transported safely and then assembled with the other components, which will be produced separately.

We have been thinking for a long time about what can be improved in the game, and we have come to the conclusion that it is worth making the General "Winter" variant available in the standard version as well, so that players can enjoy this title even more.

We hope that the game will reach supporters in time. But we have to carefully look at what is happening around - all this madness. Therefore, we have to count on the fact that somewhere something may not go our way, at the end of the path there are always factors which we no longer have any influence on, and it is these that we fear most. We apologize for the possible delay, but we prefer to be honest with you that maybe the game will come to you a month or two later. That's why I would be getting ready that the game will be released in December.

Stay safe!

Closing the Pledge Manager, first molds and a new Kickstarter
almost 4 years ago – Thu, Jul 09, 2020 at 08:31:54 PM

Hello Everyone!

The closing of the Pledge Manager will take place on 31 July - we are sorry to announce this so late, but there is still some time left to complete the data, the payment method and possibly take an interest in the add-ons available in BackerKit.

In urgent cases, please contact us by email: [email protected]

Finally, the first mold casts have arrived, and these will now be thoroughly checked and if nothing is in doubt, they will be accepted and the mass production process will start soon, so that we can deliver all the game to backers without any delays.

We also received a sample of the Larger Locomotive Miniatures for Giant the Playing Mat. You have to admit, they will look impressive.

World War II in 90 minutes!

We are currently running a new campaign on Kickstarter - Domination. This time it is not about one of the most important events during the Second World War, but about the whole military conflict. Interestingly, the whole thing can be played out in 90-120 minutes. In addition, it is a team game in which there are two sides to the conflict (Allies & Axis) and four factions (Western Allies, Germany, USSR, Japan), and the game is designed for 2 to 4 players.

In the game, players try to gain control of the areas, develop technologies and gain influence to win points. Players will attack each other, clash on the seas and oceans, destroy units on land and try to run Lend-Lease. Domination offers many opportunities, but it's a game with very simple rules, which should appeal not only to wargamers, but also to families and people who would like to learn about history in a fun, unconventional way.

Domination is LIVE: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/phalanxgames/domination?ref=oasxyx

Production and closing Pledge Manager
almost 4 years ago – Tue, Jun 16, 2020 at 04:17:43 AM

Hello Everyone!

It's been a while since you were last updated and I know you are a bit worried. I'm sorry that you had to wait so long. However, I don't have any bad news for you - we don't expect any production delays, the game is being refined now and will be delivered in October 2020 as promised by the campaign.

On July 31, we plan to close the Pledge Manager for 1941: Race to Moscow to enter the final production phase and prepare everything for printing. Therefore, please update all your BackerKit account details. It will also be the last chance to add accessories, extensions and other games to your order. If in doubt or you need help, please write to [email protected].

We received a message from the manufacturers that the molds for the game figures are being cast at this time. In the next update, we will show you the outcome of these activities.

Stay safe!
