World in Flames Collectors Edition has started shipping!



From the Kickstarter Comments
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/48 ... n/comments

Gidday WiF members,

I have just now closed the Advance order discount price for the World in Flame's Collector's edition game series and the game is now available for general release (distributor and retailer enquiries welcome).

I'd like to thank all the many hundreds of customers who have trusted us with producing a game that will satisfy your requirement for the highest quality gaming experience. I'm honoured by your trust.

The games are now being shipped out. The first huge batch is leaving our European agent on Tuesday while the first Australasian games have already gone out today (in chronological order the immortals getting their games first). The games for the Americas are going through customs in the USA and they should hopefully start shipping out later this week.

To repay the support of all Gold (Classic), Platinum (Deluxe) and first class (Superdeluxe) advance order members who have ordered either on our website (www.a-d-g.com.au) or via kickstarter, if you or a friend of yours (if they've been very good!) would like another copy of the game to play or collect, you will receive the advance order discount price for a year after release (end April 2019 or until we sell out).

To take up this offer, simply place a note with your order saying you are a WiF member and giving your original order (or KS) number and I will ensure the game is processed at the advance order price (Australian$149 for Classic, $299 for Deluxe and $599 for Superdeluxe plus freight). Ignore the price that shoppify says you will pay, I process all the orders myself and I will ensure you get the discount.

Thanks again for your amazing support and I look forward to hearing what you think of the 34 years effort that has gone into the game and the quality of the printing (which in my eyes is the best ever!).

Interesting.

And FWIW - I've just received an email from ADG to say that my copy is on its way.

I have kind of mixed feelings here. I'd love to have it, but I fear it may never be out of the box.

Besides that, I will be abroad next year, so it's either:
a) Buy now at a cheaper price knowing that it will be for a couple of years inside a closet
b) Wait until I settle down and buy at full price then

If I choose b) ... in your experience, is it likely that the game will be sold out and that I'd have to wait for a next reprint?

My heart wants to buy it, but my brain says I will be playing MWiF instead...

It’s very much apples and oranges (when compared with MWiF), but ADG is developing a Vassal Module / The Beta version is due out in about three months / Will be provided to those who purchased the Deluxe and Superdeluxe packages / Followed by v1.0 in about six months / There is an early version of the Vassal Module (“Victory in the West” . . . a.k.a., The Invasion of France and the Low Countries) at the link below / Don.

My copy has arrived! Hussah! [:)]

The box is just too good to open, but I will give it the once over, make sure all components are there, and then it has to be put away as its my birthday present.

The discount upstairs not only applies to the mentioned but has been open to the Wifdiscussion list in Yahoo.

Long time no hear! [...]


Well you will be glad to hear that it has just been released and if you want a sneak peek check the 2 vids by our European agent here https://www.a-d-g.com.au/blogs/have-you ... ion-update.


To all who have already ordered sight unseen thank you very much for your support. To others still on the fence, because of your great support over the years (not least by contributing to this list) and because of my lese majeste in not coming here earlier, I'm happy to extend the advance order period to buy World in Flames: the collector's edition (Classic - Australian$149, Deluxe - Australian$299 & Superdeluxe - Australian$599 plus freight) until the end of May exclusively to current subscribers to this list.


If you are interested simply place your order including a note (on our site you can place a special instruction when checking your cart) telling us your wiflist subscriber name and that you would like the advance order price. Ignore the price that shoppify tells you you will pay, that's automatic, but I process the orders personally and will ensure you get the discount.


Thanks again for your great support and I hope you enjoy the game. Having got my copy last week I think it is our best ever print run, crisp printing, silky paper and superb registration (not to mention research, analysis, writing, testing, artwork, editing and typesetting) . Hope you like the culmination of my life's work and look forward to your comments.


regards

Congratulations, man! My anxiety is high awaiting my copy... such a massive product.

Oh, the timing! I had to e mail the agent to defer sending as I’m just about to fly to uk again and didn’t want the risk of it being left on the doorstep or for pick up with no response from me! Lol, still got something to look forward to on my return in a few weeks time. The you tube videos show what a class product it is.😜👍

Careful - its a heavy box!

I wonder if there is a spreadsheet that confirms the components (individual not generic) available in the Collectors Edition and those available in all the various expansions? I'd like to see what has changed (and particularly what did not make the final cut).

Is there a CD in the box? At one point Harry said a CD would be included with a host of game data, but that maybe now is waiting to have a full CE Vassal version included with it.

This from the Kickstarter page:-

“and as a special bonus to all advance order World in Flames Collector's edition SuperDeluxe game set buyers, either via ADG's site or this kick starter campaign (first class customers), before October 29 when the advance order period ends, will receive a (virtual) World in Flames companion that includes the technical data behind the game, the graphics of all the maps, counters, charts and rules and a superb Vassal version of the World in Flames collector's edition Deluxe game. Note this is being published after the release of the Collector's edition but is expected to be available within a couple of months of the release of the Collector's edition game itself.”

So it appears to be the Superdeluxe gameset only?

Yeah, there's no CD. The components are as per the second of the two videos I posted.

For what it's worth, I asked about the Vassal version and was told (by Harry) it would be coming out in the next three months (maybe sooner) . . . Don.

I have a bad memory, but I believe i read somewhere that it would be for Deluxe as well. Check for updates to that info, just in case.

I keep reading that people are receiving their boxes now, at least of the Deluxe version. Not me! Still waiting.

Well, since you did put up residence in The Imperial Palace, I'll advise you to check all 600 rooms. Perhaps it has been mishandled by your staff... [:D]
