Campaign Status: Contagion + Progress

Hey everyone,

We’re incredibly close to smashing through the £40,000 mark - something we never expected to reach this quickly. Your support continues to blow us away.

Unfortunately, I’ve not been feeling my best these past couple of days (thanks, immune system). I’ll be back in the comments answering questions and chatting as soon as I feel a bit more alive. For now, I’ve been sat in the garden, absorbing rare UK sunlight in hopes of recharging my internal processors. Hopefully I’ll be back at full power soon. - Dan

Still, while I’ve been quietly recharging in the sunlight, you lot have been unstoppable — and the campaign hasn’t slowed down a bit. In fact, we hit another stretch goal…

The Manufactory Ruins are now unlocked!

These are crumbling, battle-worn versions of our existing Manufactory tiles - designed to represent key objectives lost in battle. Whether you're running a grand campaign or crafting a world scarred by conflict, these tiles add weight and consequence to your map. They're perfect for showcasing pivotal moments: the fall of a vital facility, the loss of strategic ground, or the aftermath of something gone very, very wrong.

And of course, they open the door for reclamation gameplay — what was once broken can be reforged. Swap out ruined tiles for their rebuilt counterparts as your faction regains strength, rebuilds its industry, or reclaims lost ground. It’s a simple change, but it can mark huge story moments on your map.

If you plan to use them this way, we’d recommend printing both versions without tabs so you can easily swap them in and out during your campaign.

Once again, thank you all for making this campaign such an incredible ride so far. Every backer, every comment, every share - it all adds up, and we’re so grateful to have your support.

I’ll be back soon with more updates, but until then stay hydrated, stay heretical, and keep pushing those stretch goals.

Keep it hexy,

Dan & Jax
