Incursion Project Update #11

Project Update #11: Day D+ 20 More Drop Armor and Designers Notes

Posted by Jim BaileyLike
105k! Another day, another stretch. We're starting to get into some really meaty freebies now in the form of specialist troopers. Let's get this campaign in gear!
I have just posted some designers notes written by John Roberts on the new characters from the Exclusive Pack #1 here on our blog. Check it out:

Everything I needed to know I learned from comic books.
Well, not really but there were some comic images that stuck really fast to my impressionable eight year old mind. I bought the two comics you see below from the rack at the local corner store: one in 1977 and one in 1978. These were DCs belated attempt to join the war effort :-) I of course went on to read alot of the DC war titles and Marvel Bronze classics like the Invaders. Later in life I started collecting actual Golden Age Timely and Fawcett classics including some early
Captain America, All Winners, and Captain Marvel/Whiz comics. My favorite was Captain Marvel Junior facing off against Captain Nazi. These two comics below kickstarted my deep fascination with "Weird" World War II, though.
Why is this pertinent? I suppose it's to give everyone a sense of the genesis of the madness, really, as we are about to roll out the Fallschirmjager Drop Armor as a stand-alone playable force in Incursion. We'll be dealing out info over the next few days including spectacular imagery of Hauptman Hilde Becker: our version of the Valkyrie in 1949 :-) WOW! Working as fast as we can...
In the interim,it's time to werf some flammen (sez John Allison)!
And a trooper:
Thank you all for your support!
