Barring any mishaps at sea, nope ;)
That's good news.
I think the U-Boot-Waffe is informed, to let this Chinese freighter pass.
Better watch out for pirates. And are the government customs inspectors working in the US these days?
Does anyone know if it's been put to sea yet? Or when.I think the U-Boot-Waffe is informed, to let this Chinese freighter pass.
That's a scary, but good question. But I can't believe that any government with a half a brain would shut that down.
Oh, oh! I forgot who's in charge here.
And you thought my December date was so pesimistic Ed. More realistic I'm thinking.
Vol, if theshipment goes to the distributor first and then to the Anchorage, you might be spot on.
At least I didn't mention what *I* was thinking.... >:)
Of course, the Koch brothers!That's a scary, but good question. But I can't believe that any government with a half a brain would shut that down.
Oh, oh! I forgot who's in charge here.
That seems to be the only way to get the press away from the far left.Of course, the Koch brothers!
More like the Marx BrothersOf course, the Koch brothers!
Waiting for a game that has been delayed, is like watching for the pot to boil.
Did someone mention Tea?? Milk and two please.....
I thought Rupert Murdoch had that bit covered.
No sugar for me please.
With apologies to the Brits, let's have a tea party.
My Wife is american, so about 5 years ago as a joke to celebrate the Boston tea party, i made her a a tea clipper ship, it was my first foray into scratch built naval modelling and was an exact replica of the ships that were there. Perfect in every detail down to the last rivet.
Ha, Ha, Ha.
You're lucky that you weren't fined for littering.
That video is superb! Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant, and great line about the 80 tea bags at the end.

LOL, its you guys getting the wet end of a sh**ty stick from a tea party these days

That's the only honest party left in this country.
Ares has posted Update 49.
It looks like we are getting close...
here it is:-
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...project_update
Most important bit is this:-
PLUS we hear from the factory that production is completed and final assembly is scheduled to be over at the end of this week.
Paypal payment requests to be sent in 24-48 hours! Absolutely fantastic to hear!
(This is one of the few times in my life where I've been chomping at the bit to pay somebody!)
This is welcome news.
Good news and not so good news I expect. I was hoping the product shipment was already "on the water", but this clearly indicates that shipment isn't likely until the end of the week or later.
So, if we allow 4-6 weeks for movement across the Pacific and on to the warehouses, we're looking at the end of November, maybe even into December! Good for the holidays I guess?
That's true. But my glass is still half full. One more delay and it will become half empty.
But unless your glass is in a vacuum its always full - just half drink half air :)
Showed the video to a friend this weekend, who is a history buff, especially of the time period. He loved your video, and laughed as well at the disclaimer in the ending credits. Enjoyable and informative, Chris.
At least it will only take a half glass to float one of these ships!
I know this thread got somewhat off topic, but since I didn't see any other thread being started, I thought I point it out here.
Ares has posted a new update!!!
Basically they announced to come up with the Paypal charges in the next two days.
The most improtant news is, that the production is finished and assembly will be finished within this week. So hopefully things get shipped next week.
My glasses are 20 oz. schooners. plenty left to float the ship.
Assembly finishes end of this week. I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but they didn't say it was shipping from China end of this week...they only said assembly would be complete. Maybe it ships next week. Then it takes another month from China as per their earlier statement. This puts it near a major US holiday for arrival time only to them. Then they have to process it and start shipping to us.
We ain't gettin' it 'til December.
In my hands a week before Christmas I can handle. If not, I'll never get in a KS again.
I have participated in 5 KS and so far have a 50% on time rate. One was only a PDF of the rules, so I don't count that. Another was a reprint of a Board game by Columbia ("Napoleon"). Only one, an LED lighting system was a true KS supported product concept. That one and SoG have both had production delays. I think for certain products I would be more tolerant of delays, but with an established company seeking to pump up interest or embellish a product/game one would expect an on time delivery.
Having said that I have far more patience for the relatively rare Age of Sail game/miniatures, then for say, yet another set of WWII rules/miniature line!!

:-) we made this mainly for a bit of fun and for my wife Chloe's family to see her back home in the states. I still can't believe how many people have watched it! I need to get round to making more of these silly sorts of movies as they are great fun to shoot and edit. Glad you liked it!
Paga Adesso = Pay Now
I saw three ships come sailing in, come sailing in , come sailing in. I saw three ships come sailing in, on Christmas Day in the morning.
I hope those are the ships that you received a few weeks before Christmas.
So I take it that Paese means country, but I can't seem to find the United States listed.
What am I missing???
The English language.So I take it that Paese means country, but I can't seem to find the United States listed.

Stati Uniti?
I hope that's not the bill they sent you.
Actually, it is my bill for the extras.
They won't be if they have to go to the US and then get sent over to the UK :g&t:I hope those are the ships that you received a few weeks before Christmas.
I guess you'll have to go to the Google translator for Italian.
Why do I have the feeling you're going to host some awesome games?
I wonder if Keith can get the ships ETA once it leaves? And maybe get a turnaround time from the U.S. distributor to arrival in the U.K.?
Yes, "Stati Uniti" is Italian for United States.
I think you can also change the way the page appears, too (replacing "/it" after paypal.com with "/en".
Sorry for the inconvenience.
