Default Playmats, Uncle Al's Upgrade Pack, Mini Sets 2 & 4 - shipping separately?

Got the Double Ace box but none of the others.

I know the playmats are shipping separately but are the others as well?

Additionally, I received an email with a link to track the shipment(s) on Backerkit - only one piece so that was the DA box.

I'm guessing more emails will be sent when the others ship??

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks.

I only got the DA kit and tracking for it. I am still waiting on Playmat and Uncle Al's. Assuming they will ship separately. If it matters, I'm in Atlanta GA.

Kickstarter Updates specifically mentioned that first to ship would be the playmats (mine arrived Oct 4th)

followed by the Double Ace boxes (mine arrived Oct 11th)

That appears to be only for people who ordered ALL THREE playmats. So I guess people like me and OP who presumably didn't order all three will have to wait... but not sure how long.

Yes, I'm only getting two. Thanks for the info.

Maybe, maybe not. I have a box of just #2 playmats that arrived.

Default Playmats!

I got my playmat bundle today (and UA Upgrade Pack), so that is all for me. Woot!

The playmats are bigger than I was expecting. Also prettier, the KS photos do not do them justice!

They are also thinner and more flexible than I was expecting. I had not thought folding them would even be possible!

But leaving one folded for more than a few hours seems like a bad idea!

Anyone have tips for managing these?

Please don't fold playmats. It makes me cry.

Rolling is best. A poster tube is a great way to store them.

Only two folds, and I was so gentle, big loops, not flat. I wanted to see if one would fit in box.

I was trying to roll one standing up; it was not possible. But someone has the dining room table half covered with paint and cards and binders and whatnot. Very inconsiderate!

I also can’t find any inside space with 3'x3' clear.

But then it occurred to me to try the bed. That was enough space. I finally have the two mats rolled back up.

Default Schrödinger’s Weapon

Uncle Al’s Upgrade Pack has me grinning! Please affirm (or deny) the Concealment System upgrades works the way I think it does!

At the cost of 1 BP, and holding off for a few rounds, I can be like Jon Lovitz’s Tommy Flanagan:
  • You have no armor? Too bad I have this Anti-Power Plant Rocket right here!
  • My armor getting low on one side? No Problem, this Armored Machine Gun was there all along!
  • Hey, your tires are looking weak! Say hello to my little friend, the Spike Gun!
  • So, you think your are clever, behind me when I have only a forward facing gun? Lucky I have this Micro-Missile Launcher in a pop-up turret!
