Wow! A total of 25 campaigns delivered in 2024, split 15-Wargame against 10-RPG. In most cases the wargames are not true “crowdfunded campaigns” but more a pre-order system which is why many delivered relatively on time.

A total of 13 outstanding campaigns split 6-Wargame against 4-Boardgame versus 3-RPG. I try to understand the delays in some of these projects but, frankly, I grow tired of the excuses. I generally am tolerant of no more than a 3-month delay—more than that is very disappointing. A delay longer than 9 months is unacceptable. A year on? YGBSM.
