I guess we'll see. If there is an option for digital only products, they probably would. But once you get into physical books and add ons, which would likely be things like mini sets, most likely they would go with the recent trend and not offer direct overseas shipping on physical goods.

This is great news - especially for those of us who missed out on mini set 2. Hopefully, my budget will be less catastrophic than during last fall's kickstarter.

The lack of UK shipping options on Ogre Minis 2 was seriously annoying. Having to order direct instead of joining in the KS? No direct updates, we have to go hunting for news.
They also majorly screwed up Ogre Minis 1. I ended up paying tax on what was supposed to be an EU friendly KS, because mine got shipped direct from the US. (I was given the option to reject the shipment, and wait even longer, but at the time all was silent from Pegasus, felt like too big a risk at the time.)
Come on folks, do the right thing by your non-US fans.

I'll second that. Keeping fingers crossed, really hoping to be included this time. Ogre Miniatures is as important to me as the boardgame.

It's been F5-o'clock all day...I'm getting ready to call shenanigans. :p

Not sure when it went live, but it is: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...ition-rulebook

Not the answer you wanted, but the one I expected. The Kickstarter is live. Any physical goods, like hard copies of the rulebook, or add ons with minis are ships to US only. Looks like the only option overseas is the pdf version.

As per the last couple of Kickstarters, once this funds, the book and related physical materials will be made available as a pre-order on W23 for would-be international backers.

Yes, and in an attempt to be cognizant of our international fans, we have a level where international backers can pledge for the digital version, thus allowing everyone a chance to participate in the comments as well as see any "backer only" Updates or participate in surveys, should they occur.

We are trying to accommodate everyone while still keeping some degree of control over our very real international shipping concerns. As most of you know, it has been a bit of a nightmare for us the last few Kickstarters. But that doesn't mean we don't appreciate our non-U.S. fans, just that we need to be a bit creative. We believe this to be a workable compromise for everyone.

And there is nothing stopping someone from using an international mail service. A search for "international mail forwarding service" will lead to many options.

The costs of international shipping dramatically impact all numbers around a project. If we were to offer international support through the Kickstarter, we would need to increase the goal, increase the distance between stretch goals, and even then, we would disappoint when we list the actual shipping costs and not subsidized costs.
