Wow,
I woke up this morning with 117 emails waiting for me from Kickstarter!
We are so excited at the response and thanks everyone for your comments too. We have some exciting announcements to make next week, so stay tuned.

There's no way I could ever find the time (or the opponent) to play Freedom in the Galaxy today. But back in the day...holy crap...it was like our own custom Star Wars Rebellion game. I would pay much filthy lucre to have that on the iPad...much filthy lucre.

If only this was going to be done before my 5 hour plan ride to Houston in about a week!

Have you gotten in touch with Three Moves Ahead?

They're a pretty good strategy gaming podcast, and they'd probably help get the word out.

John and I have been friends since college and began as SPI game designers at nearly the same time, he was a year ahead of me. I'm a huge fan of his too - in many ways.
Creator Timothy O'Shea on April 27, 2012
I'm happy that you are excited. I believe that you are witnessing your thoughts about wargames on PC and other platforms being boring affairs have been shared by many other people. There are many others that share your thoughts. You have tapped into a demographic that is probably deeper than you believed it to be.
Yay for you and yay for us!
Getting Mr. Butterfield for your initial game implementation was a very smart move. He has many, many fans out here.
