I know there were unforeseen problems for Gavin, after this KS closed. And I got most of the miniatures I pledged for, but I'm still waiting for the vehicles and other items. I've written through the KS page a couple of times, with no response. Just wondering if anyone else is still waiting…? :-( |

Yes, me as well. Received two shipments, the basic platoons and some of the misc. small support weapons. Never received any vehicles, artillery, cavalry and some of the infantry. Seems we are not alone. As Gavin says he is broke, Ainsty's(?) comments a while back were maybe less than accurate? |
Joes Shop | 30 Aug 2015 4:47 a.m. PST |
Still waiting: nothing received to date. |

Yes, still waiting on a load of soviet platoons I think and the vehicles. Ainsty's update a while back was that Ainsty had been paid for everything and it was simply a case of churning through the hundreds/thousands of vehicles that needed to be produced, which will just take time. I think Gav will come good on the pledges eventually, but it's only the vehicles I'm caring about now as the figures were evidently rushed and aren't the great sculpts the project set out to produce. A good lesson in how not to run a KS. |

Ainsty's comment was that the money for materials had been released. The comment, from Ainsty, that caught my attention was: "Gav is up to date with payments for production." – This was in March, prior to Gavin's update 72 on the KS. Call it my jaded NY attitude…. |

I have received nothing and I am very disappointed |
Doms Decals | 30 Aug 2015 6:13 a.m. PST |
Not had mine yet, but to be honest (1) I think Gav will come good, and (2) this one was frankly so ambitious that the scope for problems was obvious from the start – I'll be continuing to just quietly hope he's able to come good on it in time. |

Nothing at all yet :( Very sad … |

Just last month, I wrote to Gav. I wanted to order a few more pieces beyond what the KS was promising. So I offered to buy these bits, and pay postage for the whole kit. My fundamental assumption was that Gav had the toys, he'd simply run out of cash to ship things out. And waiting for the profits from his newfound product line to pay shipping might be optimistic. So it was my choice -- is it wise to offer to pay shipping, or is this simply throwing good money after bad? Gav replied, didn't confirm my assumptions, but told me he was grateful I understood. I got my new order and most of my KS pledge -- he was out of stock on trucks and armored cars at the time. He offered to let me swap out some of the new things I was ordering for the things out of stock. And my box came. I've now received most my KS (I'm still waiting and hoping for the trucks). Now I quietly plot how to get my back-ordered trucks and the Russian Truck KS to budge forward. |

Thosmoss - Care to share – what did it cost you for shipping? |
nazrat | 30 Aug 2015 8:42 a.m. PST |
Wow. Glad I skipped it at the last moment! |
thosmoss | 30 Aug 2015 10:46 a.m. PST |
what did it cost you for shipping? £40.00 GBP Sounds like a lot. Well, it is a lot. But I had received Wave 1 some time ago, and figured if the KS curled up and died, I had just about gotten my money's worth. Anything beyond that was the bonus. So was I willing to spend that much on five tanks and a whole lot more? Yes I was. |
Guthroth | 30 Aug 2015 11:02 a.m. PST |
Maybe if Gav was honest with us and made us such an offer we could put this all to bed …. |
FreeportPirate | 30 Aug 2015 11:19 a.m. PST |
I haven't received anything yet. I opted for everything all at once rather than getting things piecemeal. I did this because I've run several Kickstarters myself and I knew shipping multiple packages to each backer would be a money losing proposition for him. I don't mind waiting to get everything, I just hope that day actually comes. |
Mikasa | 30 Aug 2015 11:56 a.m. PST |
I'm still waiting for about half of my items. I sent Gav a message some weeks ago offering to forego the vehicles and pay shipping for the remainder, I've heard nothing back. |
DyeHard | 30 Aug 2015 12:11 p.m. PST |
I opted for the extra figures for taking delivery of all at the very end. So, nothing yet. But did PM Gavin and he assured me things were still moving forward. Does not sound all that good, but it is still better than some other KickStarters I have been in. |
Fried Flintstone | 30 Aug 2015 12:52 p.m. PST |
I got some of mine – probably less than half … |
Chris Rance | 30 Aug 2015 3:08 p.m. PST |
Still waiting for the full bulk shipment package here too. I appreciate that this KS was very much a victim of its own success, but a little more communication would go a long way. |
jtkimmel | 30 Aug 2015 6:29 p.m. PST |
I have received the basic infantry platoons and some of the support stuff. Still waiting for a lot of vehicles and the heavier weapons. I've also messaged Gavin offering to pay postage but no reply yet. |
Captain Crunch | 14 Sep 2015 4:43 p.m. PST |
I also opted for the extra figures to get the one bulk delivery. Still waiting and the last update was 3 months ago so I have no idea what is going on. Paul

I'm still waiting for anything. If Baker don't deliever by the end of the year I will write them off and make weekly postings on all forums I can find explaining what I think of them. Forever … – Yes, I am that bl**dy-minded. |

Finally received my KS order yesterday (in the states, MA). I too had 'written it off'. No prior notice of shipment; mailman just dropped it off. Well packed in a large box, metal and resin, no damage. A long printed list of what was supposed to be in the box was included but the poly bags were not marked so I have to sort that out. |
AGamer | 19 Dec 2015 1:08 p.m. PST |
JP - If you could log on to the Kickstarter, for Baker, post the above – along with your backer number, it would be appreciated. The individual backers are trying to sort out how far behind Gav is with the kickstarter. |
Joes Shop | 21 Dec 2015 11:02 a.m. PST |
Fred: understood. I will do that today. Joe |

Saw your posting on Kickstarter – appreciated. |
Albino Squirrel | 28 Jan 2016 4:55 a.m. PST |
Still waiting on all the vehicles and some other stuff. |
Captain Crunch | 28 Jan 2016 10:09 p.m. PST |
I ordered "Border Assault"-- 1 Finnish and 1 Soviet platoon and am yet to receive it. I did opt for the one bulk delivery but c'mon. To be honest this experience may have put me off of this project even if my order came in tomorrow. I got a message saying my order was supposed to be shipped February or early March of 2015 and nothing ever came. I've since sent Gavin a couple messages through Kickstarter and never heard back. Let's just say I'm not holding my breath. Paul |
