I've played WW1 games for many years in many scales and used many rules. I've never been Satisfied

Now I am …

First; the Minis cute beyond words and with a Steampunk side

Company – excellent Track record

Rules – I'll be honest Meh! I'm a wargammer and this primeally is a boardgame… but WAIT no it is not – Skirmash rules as well!

Plus the Boargame rules are not that bad – Personally I feel they could work Solo too

And how hard will be to customize the Rules for a lovely big wargame – we all do it anyway.

All those great Wacky Races type Tanks with Planes and Expansions in the works.

plus blokes with whiskers and monocles – whats not to like

I've found my thrill!

Do yourself a favour check it out guys – you won't regret it

Also a great way to introduce your kids to wargameing with great figs

and sorry for bad spelling my spek chk is not working dash it all

I forgot to mention Pidgeons

yep it's gonna have em LOL

snodipous17 Jan 2013 1:28 p.m. PST

Yep, I'm in for the full package. Not the extras, I can't justify buying every add-on they produce, especially after going a little crazy with the Low Life minis kickstarter.

The board game looks fun, from the video I watched. But I could see the figures being incorporated into a miniatures game, maybe a Bolt Action mod or something?

That's all I'm saying…

Darn… I was hoping it was a rebirth of R.I.V.E.T.S, from the Metagaming days.

@javelin98 Decision Games currently lists Rivets as "in stock" and "currently unavailable" (???)

So you might still be able to find it.

So thanks guys! I had some time to kill at work today so I watched the entire 45+ minutes video. So now I am $300 USD poorer! Yep I went for the whole thing. I have got to stop reading TMP on payday.

Seriously, the game looks really cool and plays so smoothly. I love the constant interaction of the system (which lots of times is not there in a set of rules). I cannot wait to get my hands on this one.

The kick starter pledges are over $281,000 USD now. The bonus es are getting better and better. Check it out.

The bonuses aren't that great and certainly not good enough for this to warrant being posted on the "BIPLANES" board especially as CMoN appear to be holding back on releasing any Flying Machines (despite the artwork being available) in this KS campaign. :(

moocifer01 Feb 2013 4:28 p.m. PST

I take it back ..

Update #36

The Battle of Brighton !!

wildger01 Feb 2013 6:42 p.m. PST

Bleeped text!! You have enough miniatures to field a full size army. Any need for those boards??

skyking2004 Feb 2013 9:38 a.m. PST

We finished at just over $582,000 USD! Lots and lots of cool stuff!
