And we blow past another Stretch Goal!
Operation Ragnar has now been unlocked, bringing The Great War to the Scandinavian countries. This Operation will see the British and Russians battle it out over the skies of Norway and Sweden.
This Campaign Box will contain many of the same things found in Operation Hannibal but I will talk about some of the main components.
Maps
The Fjord map bring one of Scandavians most well-known features to your tables.
The City map lets you fight for control of a major city. This will include rules for holding parts of the urban center.
Ship Cards
Ship Cards for the Scandinavian Union are in this box. These ships are based off of British designs, as they were historically, but any ship models can be used. Die cuts tokens are also provided for these ships.
As a reward for getting to this stage, we are also going to add Swiss Mercenary Ship Cards to Operation Hannibal in the same manner.
Tokens
Troop transport tokens will allow you to escort soldiers to the front line.

This Box can be added-on as a Campaign Box just like Operation Hannibal.
Next stretch goal is the unique paint pack for the Cruiser. I'm very ready to see Snoopy's enemy/friend take his command on the bridge.

400k!

400k! This is a huge milestone, especially as we move into the final days.
This now gives all factions 2 destroyers to choose from. Ship cards for these new ship models will be shared later but each of them will give new game play to that faction.
A quick reminder for the Cruiser Pack with pledges Lieutenant and above that this can also be a battle cruiser for those so inclined.
I also can't wait to start sharing with you the details for the various fiction pieces that have been unlocked once we nail it all down.
I look forward to updating you these “last days” unlocks on our way to 500k and above.
See you there Captains.

Russian Ship Cards: Cossacks of the Sky
over 1 year ago
– Fri, Aug 19, 2022 at 08:20:48 PM
Russian airmen have been in the sky longer then the rest of Europe. As such they have the most experienced crew in the world. While many of their other stats are below average this crew allows them to punch with the best of them.
The Russian crew is divided into two advantages. The first is simply the higher crew slot die average. These make every shot more likely to hit and repairs more likely to happen.
The more interesting bonus is the special crew slots of the Russians. Both the Aurora and Anastasia shown below have very powerful crew slots unique to Russia that show off this power.
---
Aurora
The precision gunners of the Aurora allow a degree of accuracy unseen in the rest of the world. After firing any gun with the precision gunner on the same side, they may move the location hit up or down one, allowing this ship to get the more important slots faster. It can also move the shot out of higher armor slots that normally wouldn't hit.
---
Anastasia
Very likely the strangest ship at the outbreak of the Great War, the Anastasia is a vessel completely unique to the Russian navy. With a priority on preserving their limited ship and using their extreme air skill to its max, the Anastasia repair crews can be used to fixe other ships in the fleet. As long as this ship is next to a friendly ship the double yellow crew on each side will go to work getting the main guns of the bigger ship online. Its speed and fast turn allows it to get where it needs to go and hide from enemy fire when needed.
---
Aleksandr lll
While not having the more unique slots of the other two ships listed, the Aleksandr lll has the very powerful yellows crew slots. Not only does this allow for great shots but also for better repairs, as they are the only crew slot in the game more likely to repair a slot than not on average. It also has a blue crew to go along with its main batteries, giving them as a high a die average as the Leviathan.

That finishes our first pass journey through the different ship cards of Leviathans. After the campaign officially ends we will have more to show off. Every ship card will be seen before shipping.

Into the last 72 hours

We are coming now to the end of this campaign. And it has been a wild ride getting here.
We have some last updates and news to go over as we go into the weekend.
Full game:
We are filming and then releasing a full 1000 point game on Sunday. It will be up for people Monday to view. The game will include terrain, torpedoes, special slot abilities, Admiral Cards and planes. All the many bells and whistles of Leviathans for those that have been wondering.
Last 2 hour stream:
From 4 PDT to to 6 PDT on Monday we (Randall and myself) will be live streaming the last 2 hours of the campaign. We will talk about the Kickstarter, what we are most excited to see and the future of the game. We will also answer questions from you all during it.
A link for both this and the full game video will be provided through an update.
Ship Cards:
This one is nice and simple, as mentioned before, the Ship Card backs are now up as an add-on for those that want all the cards and don't want to get every pack.
Ship Graphics:
All of the graphics of the exact ships per faction are finished and are now on the main Kickstarter page. Please note that several pieces of ship art are not done so some segments just show the ship type. After the campaign these will slowly be updated with new art. Also, as of this posting we have not hit 400k, but we are showing all the destroyers as unlocked as we are sure this will happen.

Alright Captains, I'm looking forward to this last big push with all of you. See you out there.
