Hello everyone, we are in the final few hours left in the Mercenaries & Privateers Kickstarter, and it is becoming a bit of a roller coaster and a race to see if we can get over that 300% funding goal to unlock the additional Armenian Kingdom printed minor player.

So if you haven't looked at the Mercenaries & Privateers campaign or have but haven't pledged yet, then help us get to the rest of the stretch goals and get a whole bunch of game for the cost with special discount and bundles exclusive to this KS campaign, only available here.

If you have already pledge, I want to say thank you, but ask you to possibly consider adding a new add-on or increasing your pledge to the (maybe $25 to $41 to make sure you get the additional free new Khazar Empire Minor player) or add the $10 for early shipment of in stock items to be shipped first.

I want to thank all of you for helping us get to over 88% in less than 24 hours and achieve the number #1 spot on the Kicktraq hot list for tabletop games for Wednesday August 18th.
