The plastic Dopp...
...inquiry to SJGs.
The front tread units are the same size as the rear meaning we got duplicate rear tread units instead of a rear and a front set which are different lengths. Any word on a remedy? Maybe get the correct front tread units produced and sell them separately?

Re: The plastic Dopp...
I've addressed this over on BGG -- it's a relatively simple fix to shorten the front tread, but still, something you have to work at.

Re: The plastic Dopp...
The Dopp is defective and not what was advertised on the KickStarter.
I'd like to hear an official comment on the situation...an acknowledgement of it and what, if any plans they may have to remedy it. I supported that KS to support OGRE and future OGRE projects. Unless an official comment that addresses the issue is forthcoming, my support of this game will be called into question and adjusted as needed. It's been years and we still do not have plastic Combine units other than some OGREs. This last KS produced a defective Dopp...I'm about to just sell off all my plastics and never look back. So a public announcement concerning the Dopp issue would be nice.

Re: The plastic Dopp...
I can certainly see your point as a consumer, but it took me literally five minutes to fix each Dopp I purchased.

Re: The plastic Dopp...
Or just do what I did: Glue the treads on as-is, paint the model, and realize that no one I play with will notice from across the tabletop, or care if they do.

Re: The plastic Dopp...
I'm undecided on whether I'm going to try and nip them down, extend the nose with green stuff, or just say 'sod it'. Mack_JB's answer is certainly the most aesthetically pleasing option, but I'm no professional scratch-builder...sometimes I wonder if I could manage to screw up cutting a straight line with the aid of a milling machine.

Re: The plastic Dopp...
Mr. Jackson,
I'm curious as to whether you could possibly put 2 sets of new Dopp treads into the Set 4 molds. Would that impact the project enough to be a problem? They don't really take up a lot of space or add a lot of weight. This way, people who get Set 4 can always help someone out who owns a Dopp, and don't have plans to get the next set of minis. There's a lot of gamers who are in contact with each other and could help each other out, as happens a lot in these communities. I think this has more potential to help everyone out, as some of us pass extra treads around to everybody who needs them. Just a thought |

As far as time frame goes, this is a really bad time to start making demands for anything, and we should all be more than patient, but I agree that it's time someone looked into why this happened, and go back to whoever is responsible and find a solution. I'm not looking for a pound of flesh, just for what we helped fund and pay for, as presented and ordered. Hopefully, someone can help shed some light on what happened, and let us know what the solution will be. |
