By Fire and Sword: Deluge kickstart -- Now unlocking stretch goals!

[zreef]

This is a nifty 15mm historic game with some fantastic miniatures. The setting is fairly unique as I have not see many 17th century eastern european war-games.

This company has already run a very successful kickstarter in the past, you can check that one out and all the happy backers here: https://www.kickstarter.com/project...rd-historical-tabletop-wargame?ref=nav_search

AND some pictures of the minis! You will be able to add on their entire range during the KS

For those that are new to the game (myself included) here are a few links that give more details on how it plays!

Here are two batreps that will give you a flavor of fire and sword

"By Fire and Sword - Deluge" Kickstarter: New Stretch Goals, New Freebie, New Add Ons

Hurrray!! The 6th Stretch Goal for passing 20000£ achieved - Prussian Territorial Defense is currently unlocked! Now onwards to 22500£!

The participating backers decided the fate of "Who will Become the Brandenburgian General" contest.
The official commander therefore is: Georg von Derfflinge.
It seems that the idea of a drunken cavalry officer was strong encouragement for many backers.
Pdf with his rules (both in Polish and English) will be published soon on the official "By Fire and Sword" website.

The next stretch goal to achieve is on 22500£ which will bring some new dragoon models for the Brandenburgian army.
At 25000£ we will see the return of Mercenary infantry - old type (style) set, with re-sculpted miniatures.
It will be a nice addition to both Swedish and Polish-Lithuanian armies.

Finally, to celebrate reaching the number of 150 backers, we've decided to prepare a new freebie - the mini of the Polish Queen,
Maria Louise Gonzaga, sitting on a military drum and commanding some Polish cannons!

All the best

The Transylvanian and Brandenburgian commanders' small sets are now unlocked!

When we reach level of 45000 this will unlock another Transylvanian unit – light Székely cavalry/’chimney’ cavalry
(like ‘chimney smoke’ in Polish infantry). It will allow finally to build base of the division. It will be small set of 6 mounted models.

At level of 47000 there will be 3 large sets: High Command for Transylvania, Holy Roman Empire and Brandenburg.
It’s final set that will allow to publish ‘from skirmish to division’ bundles. There will be approx. 17 mounted and 6
dismounted models/set (number may vary depends on nation).

If we manage to unlock this level, every backer with rank of Knecht and above will receive free miniature of
prince Bogusław Radziwiłł. We will also publish pdf with rules for him and his troops (division level)!


Brand new historical skirmish force, composed of elite Tartars supporting Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
against Swedes in 1656.

Muscovite Field Dragons and Historical Division Bundles Available!


There are only 3 days left! We are extremely excited and still have some surprises in store for you. Thanks for your amazing support so far!


Long expected by Muscovite players: Field Dragoons! We have them in 2 options: individual companies and entire regiment:

Regiment (39 mounted models and 36 models on foot, ie. 4 companies and commander).

Blister with one company (9 foot and 9 mounted models).

We would also like to ask for your help with spreading the word about “Deluge”. Please encourage your friends,
post information on your blogs, facebook groups, forums etc. The more backers we muster the more precious Thalers we can give you,
so every backer may make the difference!


This time it’s something really big: Historical commanders division bundles.

As you can see we haven’t listed very detailed list of models for every regiment because of very simple reason.
We don’t want to force you to play fully predefined army and prefer to give you a choice. Instead of it we inform you
only about available regiments and available total number of models in bundle. Every backer may choose by himself
(or consult with us) what models should be chosen – the only limitation is total number of models in bundle.
Rules for every division can be found in pdf files presented below.

Ivan Bohun’s Division the Retreat After the Battle of Berestechko in 1651

PDF with Rules


The Division of Hussein Pasha at Khotyn (Chocim) – Autumn 1673

PDF with Rules


Division of Field Marshal Douglas – Courland 1658-1659

PDF with Rules

Please remember we will publish also some Skirmish-to-division-upgrade-bundles as soon as High Command Sets for all new armies (47K Stretch Goal) will be unlocked.
