U.S. Shipping Update and Replacement Counters News, Double Drum Pre-Orders at Warehouse 23
over 2 years ago
– Sat, Nov 20, 2021 at 08:09:46 PM
As of yesterday, the Warehouse 23 team is estimating that all U.S. fulfillment will come to a close next month. Once they finish shipping the U.S. rewards, the crew will handle cleanup and inventory so that they're better organized to launch into the packing and shipping of international rewards. We'll post an update once U.S. fulfillment is complete and again when the official international shipping gets underway in the warehouse.
Replacement Counters Now Shipping to U.S. Addresses
The replacement counter sheets have arrived and the warehouse has started mailing them out to U.S. addresses. Some of you will receive the counters as a part of your add-ons while others in the U.S., if we've already shipped all of your rewards, will receive the counters as a separate mailing. Some of you, when opening your add-ons box, will find an unmarked white envelope. The replacement counters are in that envelope. Please don't throw it away.
NOTE: The replacement counter sheet only affects the four-player core game and the Double Ace box (because that same core game box is inside the Double Ace box). The two-player sets and all other expansions/titles are unaffected by this issue.
Problems?
If your rewards package has an issue, please be patient and our team will work through the issues as quickly as they can manage. We have not finished shipping U.S. rewards, so it is too early for "I didn't get X" messages, but you can report significant package damages (not to the shipping cartons or Double Ace outer case, because those were designed to absorb damages and protect the game) and troubles using our online help tools. This is the absolute best way to reach us; comments and messages on Kickstarter can be accidentally overlooked; using this online help tool is a much better way to contact us.
If you're looking for a giant playscape for Car Wars Sixth Edition, we're happy to report that the 4' x 6' Double Drum playmat is now listed for pre-order on Warehouse 23. This giant playmat takes up too much space for us to sit on many of them, so we're planning to produce enough to cover our immediate needs plus a tiny handful of extras. There are no guarantees that the playmat will be offered again, so please pre-order today if you want to add this colossal playmat to your collection.
Replacement Counters Update and a Car Wars Gameplay Video featuring the Double Drum Playmat
over 2 years ago
– Fri, Nov 19, 2021 at 04:32:40 PM
The replacement counters are expected to reach our warehouse this week, meaning that we should start shipping the counters next week. Please note that some of you will receive the counters in your shipment of add-ons and others (if we have already shipped all of your rewards) will receive a separate envelope when appropriate.
NOTE: This only affects the four-player core game and the Double Ace box (because that same core game box is inside the Double Ace box). The two-player sets and all other expansions/titles are unaffected by this issue.
Double Drum Playmat Video
On Sunday, we ran a four-player game on our test print of the 4' x 6' Double Drum arena playmat. The new playmat is massive, as the video helps illustrate. If you're enjoying the gameplay videos, please comment here or wherever you may be watching the videos so that our team knows there's interest in these events.
We should have more news next week. Thank you for your continued patience as the team keeps packing and shipping the U.S. Kickstarter rewards. We'll start work on the international rewards just as soon as the U.S. packages are completely out of our hands.

A Peek at the Companion, Another Gameplay Video, and Replacement Counters News
over 2 years ago
– Fri, Nov 19, 2021 at 04:32:22 PM
We revealed the upcoming Car Wars Companion during our online con last weekend, and today we have a sample of one of the possible pages that could appear in the completed Companion. (The exact mix of scenarios and variants that make it into the published version of the Companion will depend entirely on how well the crowdfunding campaign goes and which stretch goals, if any, are unlocked in that project.) We are not yet ready to launch the Companion campaign, but we'll share the news just as soon as everything is set.
A possible page from the upcoming Car Wars Companion project.
To see the Double Drum playmat in action, we also have another gameplay video where you can watch as four cars enter the oversized arena and slug it out.
Replacement Counters Update
As mentioned a few days ago (posted here), the replacement counters were expected to reach Warehouse 23 before the end of the week. We received a sizable batch of the counters, but many are still stuck in shipping and we're at the mercy of the world's current freight situation. The warehouse team will start handling the shipping of replacement counters to those affected by the factory error; please be patient as they work through the Car Wars fulfillment stage and we'll get everything into your hands as fast as possible.
U.S. Shipping Continues and FnordCon News
over 2 years ago
– Sun, Nov 07, 2021 at 01:48:20 AM
The Warehouse 23 team, and our partner warehouse in Georgia, are still packing and shipping the U.S. rewards. They're working through packages as fast as they can, but we're going to need time to finish shipping all of the U.S. rewards. Once the U.S. packages are complete, then we'll turn our attention to the international rewards.
Our free online convention, FnordCon, is this weekend and we had our what's new event last night. We had several new project reveals, including the first peek at the upcoming Car Wars Companion . . . which is where we'll next offer the Vehicle Guide. We do not yet have a launch date for the Car Wars Companion Kickstarter campaign; we'll share news and info in updates to this project as we build to the launch of this new Car Wars Sixth Edition book.
In other Car Wars news, we have a 4' x 6' playmat in the works; please watch our various social media channels for information on this new playmat. This new arena playmat is our first attempt at a massive playscape for the Car Wars Sixth Edition game, and we'll create more playmats if there's interest and enough demand for new arenas and battlescapes for the game.
Tomorrow, on Sunday, we'll run a live event where four players enter the Double Drum arena and fight it out on the largest Car Wars Sixth Edition playmat we've designed . . . so far!

More Shipping and Replacement Counters
over 2 years ago
– Fri, Oct 29, 2021 at 12:19:48 AM
Warehouse 23 continues to pack and ship U.S. rewards. Not every package is identical, so please don't worry if someone has items that you haven't seen yet. We're still packing and shipping rewards and we will post an update when U.S. fulfillment is complete.
Counter Update
NOTE: This only affects the four-player core game and the Double Ace box (because that same core game box is inside the Double Ace box). The two-player sets and all other expansions/titles are unaffected by this issue.
As mentioned (please see this update), there is a factory error that affects the four-player core game and the Double Ace box. The factory is working on replacement counters, and it now looks like those will reach Warehouse 23 in November.
For those of you in the U.S. who are affected by the missing counters, please be patient. Your counters will be shipped when they are ready; some of you will see the replacement sheet packed into your add-ons while others will receive a separate envelope with these counters. It all depends on the rate at which the warehouse can handle shipping the rewards; Kickstarter fulfillment will not be a fast process. We ask that you be patient; we will make an announcement when shipping is complete.
This only affects U.S. Kickstarter rewards; international rewards have not yet shipped and the replacement counter sheet will be inserted into international rewards before they are shipped.
Our online convention is coming up in just a few weeks, and we have two new Car Wars Sixth Edition projects set to reveal during the first day of the show. (In fact, the next task after this update is heading to the office to photograph XXXXXXX for the show.) The online con is free to attend, and we hope that many of you will join us November 5, 6, and 7 for the event. You can learn more about the show here.
