[QUOTE="Tav_Behemoth, post: 5812244, member: 18017"] Falstaff: We're going to be sharing a booth at Gary Con with the AS&SH guys, who are really dedicated and passionate and fun to hang out with. Plus, self-interest-wise, their book is so beautiful I'm hoping some of the shine will rub off on ours if they are at the same table! Consonant Dude: We got lots of great feedback from our Kickstarter backers who helped us do many things right we might not have otherwise. However your point about having at least a summary of mass combat is a good one that I'm hearing other places as well. I think what happened is that the backers were reading ACKS in a rough Word doc, and had access to Domains at War in a rough Word doc, and so they seemed to be more parts of a whole. I can totally understand how people who are coming in now are missing an important piece, however! We're working on getting D@W out as soon as possible - all the art for the unit counters is taking a while - and I agree that, for people who don't want a whole book exploring all the implications of how armies interact with strongholds and domain management and mercenary hiring price and availability and all of that, there should be a quick summary in the ACKS core rules. In the interim we'll be making the Domains of War rules available in the free online SRD we're working on (nearly all of our stuff is open game content), and if we sell out the first printing of the hardback adding a brief mass combat procedure will be high on my list of things to add to the reprint. EDIT: my wannabe-witty experience point comment got cut off for Consonant Dude - I meant to say we hope taking your 2 cents and addressing your issues will get you to invest the remaining $29.98 to upgrade from PDF to hardback - and apparently the XP comments don't accept the [pungent] tag I was going to put around that!
