Interview - Marcin from Assault Publishing - PMC 2640

By Harold

Hi everyone, and welcome to another interview!  Today we talk to Marci from Assault Publishing about their new 15mm sci-fi game PMC 2640.  

Hi Marcin, and thanks for taking the time to talk about Assault Publishing and your new game PMC 2640!  First question, how long as Assault Publishing been around and who is Assault Publishing? 

I've established Assault Publishing in 2011, but of course the preparation to it and designing of the first wargame started many months before in 2010. It is typical after-hours company, like many companies in UK (but running it in Poland is probably more troublesome :P). I consider it as the method of gain finance for next crazy ideas. Starting printing rulebooks in age of 30 made me one of the youngest wargame publishers in the world ;)
But in fact Assault Publishing in fact it's 2 meters on my desk and something about 1,8 liters in my skull, supported by a group of really fine people and cellar acting as rulebook stockpile. :D

Breaking News - Martians Attack!

All Quiet on the Martian Front Kickstarter in Live

By Alien Dungeon

"It’s Tanks vs. Tripods, Big Guns vs. Heat Rays in a new 15mm Miniature Game of all out Interplanetary War in 1910."

This amazing project has just got started on Kickstarter and has already funded and reached its first couple of stretch goals. The All Quiet on the Martian Front Kickstarter promises more stretch goals along with its already quite generous pledge levels.

All Quiet on the Martian Front is a 15mm science fiction miniatures game that lets you play out a second invasion by the Martians from H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds". This time, however, Earth is ready with war machines of its own and the Martians will find Earth is not so easy.

The game brings to the scene a huge collection of new and inspired miniatures depicting troops from both Martian and British armies, each depicting advancements on their respective technologies and tactics. The variety of tripod walkers is amazing and the Martians even have human slave troops. Earth brings to the field specialist troops like motorcycle cavalry, grappler assault troops and even mammoth land monitors.

Check it out and join in the fight!

Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions about your experience with running a successful Kickstater!

What initially lead you to Kickstater as a platform to start a new range?

Eli Arndt

I wouldn't say that anything led to it more than I sort of wandered into it. I had talked with other miniatures producers about the viability of a Kickstarter for a miniatures project when there weren't many going on and frankly none in 15mm.

When I finally decided to do my own miniatures line, I had already figured out how to do a bare bones start-up on my own, out of pocket with two packs of minis. Kickstarter had shown its viability for miniatures project by then and so I decided it might be a way for me to take it a bit beyond where my pocket could get it.

The M577 Armored Company Box Set (pictured above) is the best deal available. £57.15 gets you nine vehicles - four of the standard M577 APCs, two of the smaller M576 scouts, two of the larger M578 direct-fire support vehicles, and one M579 command vehicle.
