@sundancer OPR may not have started as a (big) kickstarter, but they did manage to gather momentum by being there at the right time in history as it were.

Trenchcrusade may have gotten that same lucky break to get going (with a bit of help of it being crowdfunded).
It probably did benefit a bit from things like ‘The Doomed’.

If we could predict the future we’d be rich and have had our perfect 40k killing wargame ages ago.

Since we can’t I’ll settle for the next best thing : a new game in as close to what could be a new genre. And probably top dog within that niche for a few years at least.

Historical games tend to have it easy compared to fictional settings. The latter need so much luck to arrive at the right time to go big. That’s why most of them fade away after launch, because they tend to drown in the endless waves of new things getting released. Maybe the link to ‘real world’ history is what helps Trenchcrusade survive ?
