Anyone else pledged? I've been curious about BFAS for years, and this update has me intrigued.

It seems to be doing well:

Yes!! Lots of stretch goals unlocked!!! I think the pledge period ends tomorrow. You can always 'late pledge' but I don't know how many (or any) of the stretch goals you would qualify for at that time. I was introduced to the first edition several years after it was first produced and I thoroughly enjoyed the game. I didn't want to miss out on the KS for second edition.

I pledged. I like the first edition so was happy to support the second.

Does anyone know what has changed? I've never played the rules; I bought the 1st Ed just for the pictures. I love the armies of the Era in this part of the world.

There's a whole series of videos explaining the new rules, and downloads in the Kick-starter.
I've already got armies which I tend to use with Twilight of Divine Right (they have a set of mods and scenarios for Eastern European games).

There is a book "Art of By Fire and Sword" that is 144+ pages of their art with many new drawings/paintings etc. So if like the pictures of the 1st then this should be right up your ally.

The original set used DBX Style element bases wheras this edition uses large units. I think it looks better

Well, I jumped in. My plan is to get a new army… Still 12 hours to go!

I pledged. I backed the original English edition too. It is a very good system, but it did have a lot of detail. Lots of players I tried to get into the game complained about too many special rules. Looking forward to a streamlined edition.
