New version but the basics seem to be the same as before so it's WWWII with a horror slant: link |

The mechs look great and possibly usable in 15mm as "titans". But… I can't see a pledge for mechs only so.. meh. |

I checked it out and see no evidence of any new figures other than a kickstarter exclusive that is not even a green yet! What is the deal with West Wind kickstarting a sale of old product. I am expected to buy a platoon of figures I already have to get some new special edition figure that will come out if a bunch of other folks buy in. |

What new things are we pledging to finance exactly? Am I missing something here? |

Looks enticing but I'm broke…lol |

I think new only new things are updated rulebooks and the mechs are modified some to become MkII versions of the originals. |

In the comments section of the KS, Andy has stated that the only thing set in the pledges is the rule books at £30.00 GBP so if you go in at the £79.00 GBP level you don't need to select a starter set, you can pick £49.00 GBP worth of anything else. Also on the pledges with a free mech what they'll do is add £18.50 GBP to the amount you have to spend in the post KS backer shop. So you can have a bit of cake and eat it too :-) |

As can be deduced from the above, the project appears to be for funding the new version of the rules primarily. New forces (Japanese and USMC) will be introduced as stretch goals. |

Yep, I'm hoping for Japanese faction. |

The project looks to be stuck at 22k mark… |

here is the broadcast from Westwind: Good afternoon everyone, and thanks for jumping onboard and supporting our Secrets of the Third Reich II project. We were off to a good start but as you know, over the last few days, things have been more or less at a standstill. We always knew, to complete SoTRII it was going to be a costly exercise. We brought this project to Kickstarter in the hope at we would gain the support to be able to take the game where we wanted to take it, as financial backing for a small business such as West Wind is an absolute must to undertake a project the size of Secrets. All our finger have been well and truly crossed that enough backers would come in to make this possible. So to conclude, it greatly pains us to say that we have reached the following decision. After long consideration, number crunching to try to make this fit, plus a great deal of soul searching, it is with great regret that we have no alternative but to cancel the project. We have over the last few days looked at all the options to try to work around this to make it financially viable, and please believe us, this is not a decision that we have taken lightly. This is purely a financial business decision that we have had to take. We are very very sorry. We will not be able to take the project to Kickstarter again in a different format, however, we will be looking at other avenues as a possible way forward outside of Kickstarter, together with John Bailey and Ian Hill. We know you are going to be disappointed that we are not able to take this project any further here, we too are very disappointed, and we thank you all very much indeed for your commitment and support of ourselves and the project since launch. With very best regards, Andy & Wendy Cooper, West Wind Productions |
