Wow!
You have really done a great job, bringing new backers and adjusting pledge totals all over the place! We must admit that we didn't think we'd get this far, but as Lon has said in the comments a couple of times, there are plenty more packs on the wishlist (at least two dozen more). We've gone and added the Canadian Militia Command to the packs you can choose from.
In addition to the Native Leaders (the next stretch goal to be reached), we've also added the Native Civilians I pack, which will include native women and children miniatures. After that, at $47,500, we'll add the Native Civilans II pack, which will include older native men. We're not sure how far you are all going to take this (we're deeply humbled already) but we do stand ready to let you know the next few packs too. Paul hasn't started on these ones yet, so our graphic is only an approximation of what might be included.
Again, thank you all for your support.
If you'd like to increase your pledge total to include the Canadian Militia Command or any of the other packs, just follow the steps on the graphic below.
We are on a roll!

In the last 24 hours or so, you have unlocked not only the British Infantry Command, but also the British Rangers Command AND the Highlanders Command (in Campaign Dress)! So, we've asked Paul Hicks to put the Native Leaders pack next on his sculpting table. Hopefully we can get there in the next seven hours!
All of the unlocked packs are now listed on the Kickstarter page as $13 Add-Ons.
Thanks for all your support!
24 Hours To Go!

It has been a busy 24 hours! We've added close to 20 new backers and many of you have jumped ALL IN! with the best value pledge level in the campaign! So, we've unlocked the French Infantry Command AND the British Infantry Command, AND are a handful of new backers away from reaching the British Rangers Command!
We're not sure how things will go over the next 24 hours, but we wanted to reveal the next pack that the might Mr Hicks will be working on - the Canadian Militia Command. We'll be unlocking that pack when we reach the $40,000 mark.
So, if you've been waiting to see how things turn out before you make your final pledge total, now is that time. To increase your pledge total, or change your actual pledge level (from The Frontier to ALL IN!, for example), just follow the steps on the graphic above and you'll be all good.
Thank you all so much for the support you've shown this campaign over the last three weeks. It has been a great time for us, working out what to bring you next.
24 hours to go. Let's make it massive!

Welcome to all of our new backers, and thank you to everyone who is continuing to spread the word!
We're getting very close to unlocking This Very Ground: Victory or Death! So close, we thought you all might like to know about the "Combatants" that are in the book. Well, here goes:
King Philip's War
• British Colonial Militia
French & Indian Wars
• British Colonial Militia
• British Provincials
• British Regulars
• French Milicien Canadiennes
• Compagnies de la Marine
• French Regulars
• Rangers (to cover both sides)
America War of Independence
• Continental Army
• Militia & Minutemen (to cover both sides)
• British Regulars
War of 1812
• British Regulars
• Militia (to cover both sides)
• U.S. Army Regulars
18th- and 19th-Century
• Indian War Party
So there you have it, lots of possibilities and opportunities for wargaming at a unit-based skirmish level, all packed in the pages of This Very Ground: Victory of Death. Don't forget to check out the interview with author Keith Stine on the main campaign page.
And because we know you love excellent wargaming minis from master sculptor Paul Hicks, here's a photo of the latest models hot off his sculpting bench! These two will appear in the Native War Party pack that we are preparing to add to the stretch goals soon.
We are getting closer!

Not only are we getting very close to reaching the next stretch goal today, but we are just over two days away from the end of the campaign on Sunday!
In the graphic above you can see the next two stretch goals for the campaign, or silhouettes of them at least. Paul Hicks has been working hard on a number of different packs for us, and next week we should get to see the final models, but for the moment we wanted you to know that top of the list are the Command packs for the Rangers (which will include Rogers, Jacob, two NCOs, and two native Scouts), and the Highlanders (which will include an officer with claymore and pistol, two NCOs with rifles, an NCO with a claymore and rifle slung, a drummer, and a piper).
We are very confident we'll reach all of these stretch goals by the end of the campaign, and to help us all get there, we're introducing a new Pledge Level - The ALL IN!
This is easily the best deal of all. There are 16 packs (as listed above) PLUS a limited edition hardback version of This Very Ground: Victory or Death PLUS the FREE minis you've seen already PLUS a free PDF copy of the TVG rules PLUS the brand new (still being sculpted) Frontier Family! For those of you who don't go "ALL IN!", the Frontier Family pack will be available in the pledge manager level for $13. So, don't forget to share the campaign around one last time! Send this link to your friends, share it in your gaming groups, and let's make this a weekend to remember!
