We are so very close to reaching the stretch goal that unlocks This Very Ground: Victory of Death (in all it's forms). Just two or three new backers and we'll cross that threshold. Keep sharing the campaign with your wargaming groups!
In the meantime, we've had quite a few requests to include packs from other ranges covered by the scope of This Very Ground, namely King Philip's War, the American War of Independence, and the War of 1812. We've been busily confirming/creating codes, prices, graphics, and links to make all of this happen. We've already uploaded the following graphics to the Kickstarter page, and you can check them out there, but we figured we'd give everything to you here too. Obviously we don't have room to show you an image of every pack, but we do have links that will take you through to each specific section of the Brigade Games webstore so you can browse the pack images. Also, where appropriate and possible, we've included a little KS discount for the packs. Here are the links:

Thanks, everyone, for upping those pledges and unlocking the ruleset that sparked it all.
You can now add $15 (for the PDF), $20 (for the softback), or $30 (for a limited edition hardback) to your pledge amounts to get a hold of the rules written by Keith Stine! Here are a couple of pages from the book itself, which will be ready at the printers by the time this campaign ends.
And the next stretch goal revealed!
Next up is the second French Infantry pack at $23,000, which is followed by the $26,000 goal with the FREE British Officer and Civilian Sisters for everyone who has pledged more than $120. These two great stretch goals are followed by one at $28,000. When we get to that level we'll add the models that have received the best reaction so far - the Frontier Characters pack - which will be an Add-On for $13!
So, be sure to share the campaign around with your friends, your local gaming groups, Facebook groups about wargaming, all that sort of thing. The more people we can bring to the campaign, the more of these wonderful Paul Hicks sculpts we can reveal! Here's a URL you can use to share the campaign:

Congratulations, everyone! We have passed another stretch goal and now both British Infantry packs have been unlocked and are available as Add-Ons at the Kickstarter rate of just $13 a pack. You can add these on at any pledge level.
Final hours for a FREE George Washington!
Just over three hours left for your wargaming friends to pledge for the campaign and secure themselves a FREE George Washington miniature. Remind them to jump in now!
Increasing your pledge amount
We have had a couple of backers ask us about how they go about increasing their pledge amount to include more packs, so we thought we'd put together this graphic that should help everyone through the steps to do just that. Of course, if you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask.
And finally!
Passing our last stretch goal means that we're ready to reveal our next, and it's the second pack of French Infantry resplendent in their coats and tricornes. You should all know that we're still got much more to come, and a very long wishlist of packs we'd love to make. Coming up very soon are some of the characterful frontier packs we know you will love.
Keep sharing the campaign, and thank you for your support!
Two Stretch Goals already smashed!

Congratulations, everyone!
You are doing a great job bringing more folks to the Kickstarter and we are excited to keep things rolling along. What an amazing start!
We've now unlocked both the British Infantry I pack as an Add-On AND the Huron Sachem as a FREE model to everyone who pledges for $80 or more during the campaign. Combined with the FREE George Washington model for backing in the first 24 hours, things are looking very characterful around here!
What's Next?
Next up we have the British Infantry II pack, followed by the French Infantry I pack, both of which include lovely models that would really look the part skirmishing through North America in the mid-18th-Century.
And after those two packs are added, we'll be able to reach for the This Very Ground: Victory or Death rules. We wanted to make sure you could pick up a copy in your favorite format, and reaching this stretch goal will allow us to do just that at great Kickstarter campaign prices. If you would like to know more about This Very Ground you can check out our video interview with Keith Stine on our Kickstarter page.
Size Comparision
We recently had a backer ask about the size comparison between the miniatures in this Kickstarter and Warlord Games/Conquest Miniatures F&IW minis. Can't take that photo at the moment, but one of our customers has provided us with this photo, showing (L-R) A Warlord/Conquest F&IW Native, Brigade 1812 Native, Brigade AWI British Infantry, Warlord/Conquest F&IW British Infantry. Our 1812 range was sculpted by Paul Hicks as well, so for the moment this comparison shot works well.
Onwards and Upwards!

Well, that happened quickly! Thank you all very much for your support of This Very Ground and this range of miniatures from the desk of the excellent Paul Hicks!
This is just the beginning, of course. We have quite a lot of miniatures we want to make. We've already teased some of them on our Facebook page - the British and French Regulars, as well as some lovely Frontier Characters that many of you have recognized. We're excited to keep things rolling along, so all we need you to do now is make sure you tell all of your friends about the campaign! Just send them this link and we know they'll make it through:

And because we know you like to see cool miniatures. Here's a sneak peek at a British Officer on his way.
