I’m looking forward to the new Rivet Wars Kickstarter. No, I don’t have any inside information as to when it is going to happen. However, I don’t believe the rich vibrant Rivet Wars universe, unique...

Yeah, that definitely looks like Box art for Western Front. This month is the 5 year anniversary of the first Kickstarter. I anxiously await the end of all CMON Kickstarters for a Rivet Wars teaser....

Recently, we tried a new way of playing Rivet Wars.


Players score points for their Strategic Objective at the beginning of a round where they are the starting player.
At the beginning of a...

I have heard Sedition Wars is getting rebooted. Will CMoN be doing it?

i too tried my first attempt at paint on Sedition Wars.

I was playing using the Weapons Research division. Whenever, I burned a Militia to reduce the cost of a Hyperion, it reduced the cost, but added to the attack and health. Once purchased, it it showed...

Please disregard - I have not been able to replicate the occurrence.

When you use your base ability to reduce the cost of cards, the cost stays reduced after purchase. Also, when subsequently burnt cards are placed back in their stack, they still have the reduced cost.

Disregard - As a general rule, anything that "prevents" damage only applies to one attack, whether it is REVEAL damage or combat damage. It is not an ablative effect.

I am not sure if it intentional or a bug. However, during combat in 1.8, the cards seem to be overlapping, making it impossible to see the enemy's health. Very inconvenient.

Recently, while playing 1.7 on iPad Air 2, armor started sticking to troops. It first happened when I deployed a Ranger in first zone, pushing the armored militia back. Instead of being pushed back...

I don't like the automatic combat flow, having to hit pause, in 1.7. I wish there was an option to go back to step based combat flow. The only time I find auto flow useful is when I don't have any...

I have had the same happen with zero health on the NorTec side. iPad Air 2

Isn't this what the 3rd Kickstarter is going to cover? If not, it should.

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing the ride.

I already have everything from the Kickstarter. I am just waiting for MORE!
Seriously, I think I may have a problem. Are eight Landkriegers too many or not enough?

I know. Battle of Brighton has been holding the rest of my order since September.

That's why I only mentioned Second Wave. I suspect BoB will be available later this month.

Second Wave is now available on Miniature Market.

I would agree with your friend. It does not work on units immune to gas. It does not say anything about dogs.

Just because there is not a plague dog mini is no reason to expect the rules to be...

To avoid confusion, it should be noted that facing only matter with aircraft in regard to direction of movement and which grids they can attack. Aircraft still attack a grid using the attack order as...

No, facing of the unit has no effect. Grid attack order always remains the same.

Sounds like someone that doesn't realize that they started releasing them LAST September.

Some places are listing them along with some Arcadia Quest stuff as a January release, which seems much...

Decent unit, but limited in its use. It gets plenty of chances to hit with three attack and has a good range. Not many units have three attacks. I like to set them up in the center to cover Strategic...

I used to think so, too. It really depends on the scenario. In scenarios where the deployment zone is on the back edge of the territory, they are not very effective. However, scenarios with...

The air units are all great. I wish that there were more air plugs or we could use the B-12 gunner in a fighter. Who is that guy anyway?

I haven't played a lot with the air rules. However, it seems like I need more bombers. Anyone else use two or feel that one just is not enough?

They are fairly inexpensive and do great damage,...

I love these! I would really like to see more urban terrain with the western front. However, with buildings spanning multiple grids, like the Ostrich Factory, how would air units move to the adjacent...

Yes, they are included in the Second Wave expansion, which will be released Jan 23 as Decar noted here.

They will be out at retail later this months. It might be worth it to wait.

Rocket Cycles are also one of the few units with an air range. Keeping them in action isn't a bad idea when playing with the Battle of Brighton expansion. While the are not particularly effective...

Hammers are a fine counter to Panzerfaust, and probably my favorite unit. However, their flat grid attack is much less effective if the Blightun player spreads out the infantry.

Great idea for a thread!

I typically use Rocket Cycles for quick assaults early in the game. However, its armor make it particularly susceptible Panzerfaust attacks. As a result, their use quickly...

I have had some expansions on preorder for over three month. When are Brighton, Heavy Metal and Second wave going to be available?

EDIT: Not trying to copy Buckaroo13, we just had the same...

Thanks, Ted! It's always nice to get the official answer.

Sounds like we need a Sapper unit introduced in the next front.

I could also see deployment being allowed through action cards.

It sounds like the wording on the turrets could have been territory instead of deployment zone. I think many people are playing it this way anyway.

CMoN have come a long way since Sedition Wars. I anticipate that their Kickstarters will continue to improve.

MM is great. I have had them alter preorders before. I also have a few Rivet War items on preorder as well. I don't mind the wait. It just just builds greater anticipation and makes me feel like an...

I knew I should not have preordered all four together. I guess I will just have to wait for them all to be released.:angry:

Thanks for the photo. I am really excited about these all going to retail. Can't wait to get that much on the table!

I think everyone just needs to go into Kickstarters knowing what to expect. Once the Kickstarter closes, communication will be sparse. You'll get your stuff, eventually. Almost everyone will have it...

Good stuff. I tend to get most of my WWI info from Black Adder. Rivet Wars seems to be more of an amalgam of WWI and WWII, 80% to 20%. I like it, it keeps things different.

That's a good point. I usually send in the Trench Raiders to take out the infantry, but the Monowheel does have better movement.

all these options have really deepened the tactics of the game.

After playing several more games with wave 2, I can definitely say that I NEED more Sturmrads. Three is not enough. Likewise, three Plague Troopers and clockwork soldiers is not enough (glad I have...

Is the MT-1 Ostrich the tallest unit in the game? I am trying to lay out my pluck foam case and it looks like I will need 2.5 inch to accommodate the Ostrich. Is that the tallest mini in the game?

Set up time has definitely increased. But, I love every minute of it!

I recently downloaded the pdf cards from the Kickstarter update. While looking through them, I noticed that the Plague Troopers do not have Bolster Defense (-1) as a special ability, whereas the...

I think the lithograph is the same size as a standard piece of printer paper. To replace your damaged piece, I'd contact CMoN support, but be patient. They are very busy.

With the advancing technologies during wartime, it isn't a surprise to see machines of war become obsolete due to more advanced versions; this was especially apparent in aviation during WWI. I think...

It's a great ability, but I have not found it overpowering. She is strong against 2 and 3 armor, but fairly week against 1. Drop a couple grids of Panzerfaust in front of a Strumrad around the board....

I think the additional stuff changed the way I play with the Blight more than the way I play with the Allies.

As the Allies, I still find myself relying on the Hammer 65 Pounder a lot, with its...

Thanks. I posted in the trading post here in the forums and will post on BGG.

I got an extra Blitzkrieg set for the non-unique units and have decided to sell the heroes and extra stuff. I tried to price things fair and cheaper than retailers and eBay. Payment through Paypal....

I'm not looking to profit, just recoup some of my expense.

I was thinking around $10-$12 for the Kickstarter exclusive heroes, $5-$8 for the Spearhead heroes and alternate War Room sculpts and $2-$3 for the core heroes.

I picked up an extra Blitzkrieg, but only for a few particular units (handlers, turrets, trench raider, etc.). Since you can only field a hero and the plug once during a game, I have no need for all...

I missed it the last time it was the Deal of the Day. Picked up an extra copy this time and added it to my expansion preorders.

Now that the second wave has arrived for many of us, we have flags to replace the flag tokens that came in the base game. However, I would like to get a few extra for other purposes. I realized today...

Has anyone developed alternate rules for use with the alternate infantry? I was thinking that they should get some kind of bonus when attacking or moving from Macleod's or Munchen's grid.

Thanks for all the encouragement. I have all the necessary tools, but I think my first attempt is going to be on my Sedition Wars minis. I don't care if they turn out crappy. ;)

I hate everyone in this forum that has painted their Rivets, especially binarysunrise and his awesome Red Baron. They all look great and it makes me want to try it! Unfortunately, I have never...

Anyone still looking for the Treasure Hunter? Contact me through BGG.

EDIT: Glad I was able to help a few people get the Treasure Hunter. Good luck to everyone still looking.

In stock at FunAgain Games! Limited to one per customer. $15

Yeah, some rank insignia would be nice, too.

I am in a similar situation. I just don't have time paint minis. Any free time I get, I'd rather spend playing Rivet Wars. However, they still look great unpainted.

Is there an ETA for the Western Front Kickstarter? I need to know when to start saving.

It couldn't hurt. But from my experience with Sedition Wars, it probably won't happen.

I am not saying that you should have to deal with warped boards. But when you do have to deal with problems, there are solutions. I have few board games and have only had to deal with warped tiles or...

Isn't that what Plexiglas is for? I even use a piece of it on games that don't have warped tiles. It just adds a little extra protection to the boards.

Thanks! This is a great bonus for those of us who pledge Blitzkrieg x2 or the Tile Pack Omega!

I'd like to see other units be able to "dig-in" at turret sockets to increase their armor.

At first, I really liked the idea of turrets. I even purchased and extra set. Perhaps because it reminded me of the old Command and Conquer series where you could set up turrets along a road to take...
