Here is an update as to where we are in terms of delivery.
We have three miniatures left to sculpt,
- Two Russians, the Platoon Commander and Deputy Commander
- 1 US Army – Platoon Commander
Once the last miniature is created, we need to 3d print them and then make productions moulds and cast the miniatures. Once we have the final sculpts, we can give an update on how long that will take.
Books only
Those that ordered books only, you should have them now world-wide, those that order books and the first two packs of miniatures should also have them as long as you haven't ordered counters. If you are in this group and not received your products, email me on [email protected]. Please DO NOT post a response here as they can be missed. Please contact me direct.
Counters
We ordered the acrylic for the counter's months ago, but as I am sure you are aware acrylic is being used in supermarkets, schools etc. to protect people from Covid19 so as you can imagine our little order keeps getting pushed back. We hope to have this soon so we can start making the counters.
Production
Because of COVID 19 not only have we taken longer to deliver this Kickstarter, it also costs a lot more money than the original estimates we had from our production companies. Don't worry we will still deliver I am underwriting any overrun as I should being the project owner.
Some companies haven't survived COVID, others have been running with a much-reduced staff, and some companies that have valuable resources are charging a premium for them. So, everything is slower and more expensive.
Ultracombat Modern PDF
Our small company needs to generate income to survive beyond this Kickstarter, so I want to put the PDF's of the book online for sale.
I understand that you haven't got printed books and miniatures yet, but you have all been able to download the PDF of the book as it's been posted twice in the updates. So, I am asking this group has anyone got any issue with me doing this? I have also included the link below in case anyone hasn't downloaded it.

If this is a problem, can please reply to this post. That way, as a group, we can see how many people have an issue and make a final decision.
Some good news to end, here is the US 240Bravo team. It's a work in progress, we have some tweaks to do, like a bullet belt etc but you will get the general idea.
It's a strange time for us all, and I on behalf of the Dishdash team appreciate the patience you have shown and support for this project. I emphasise we will deliver, but it will take time. The team can't wait for you all to get your hands on our books, cards and miniature and hear about the great games you will be playing. So stay safe and happy gaming.
