About

BATTLE BOX started out as a tournament tray that I hand made from simple materials for my sons, a few friends, and myself. Since that time, requests for custom trays from fellow gamers has increased dramatically, prompting me to research commercially manufacturing them.

Launching on Kickstarter, getting it ready to be here has been an absolute labor of love over the last year. Although I have done this entirely as a one-man project I would be remiss if I did not mention there were plenty of people who helped along the way. A project, no matter what size, can't be done without collaboration and input from multiple perspectives.

Once funded, BATTLE BOX will be manufactured and distributed not only locally but all over the world! I dream big so therefore I aim to do big things. There is no limit to what can be done if you only set your mind to doing it! Now, onto more about the BATTLE BOX.

BATTLE BOX is the ultimate in gaming organization. No need to carry ALL your components in large storage containers, making your opponent wait while you organize your lists for play. Each part of your list has an area for the model and its components; allowing for quick, easy access. With a little planning beforehand you can come and be ready to play in no time at all!

Utilizing a stacked dual-tray system, BATTLE BOX allows you to easily store and carry all the essential ships or miniatures with cards, dice, range rulers, and components from game to game. BATTLE BOX's bottom and top are constructed using heavy gauge game board stock. The box is then covered in a full graphic wrap that is gloss laminated for superior durability and protection. Interior trays are constructed of sturdy plastic and are notched to ensure a tight and proper fit when stacked together.

BATTLE BOX is not meant as a permanent storage solution for your minis! The trays are deigned to keep everything safe and in order but if dropped, there is no guarantee things will stay where they are. I typically keep about three active lists in the box at all times. This way I literally grab it when I get home from work and head out the door. When at tournaments, I only carry the list I am using which allows me to keep everything organized and ready to play as I move from table to table. My best set up time is about 2 minutes from the time I take the first card out to having everything on the table and ready to go.

In order to support local hobby stores we are making BATTLE BOX available for pick up at your favorite hobby/game store! If your store does not carry BATTLE BOX, let them know you want it! Have them contact me directly and I will add them to the list. Then, you can support BATTLE BOX here on Kickstarter. The BATTLE BOX will be shipped directly to the the store you indicate. There is no difference in price for you. This way, your hobby store can share in the success of BATTLE BOX!

Full details for supporting retailers can be discussed when we get in contact with each other.

IMPORTANT!

Once the initial funding is reached for BATTLE BOX for the X-Wing game system all the other designs will be unlocked as attainable goals. Each of the other six game system's designs will need to be funded as well in order to make them available to you. The most expensive part of this entire project is the creation of the dies and molds for the trays and boxes. I toiled over how to present this for funding and feel this way not only helps get the project funded, but also allows for the optimal way to get them produced and into the hands of gamers around the world.

NOTE: Funding before those extra systems become unlocked will only be for the X-Wing games system! As the extra game system's goals are reached those who pledged enough to receive extra BATTLE BOXES will be able to switch out the additional top trays for X-Wing to the other systems; as long as they become fully funded that is.

SALES TAX is of course additional and will be charged for all purchases when and where applicable.

After BATTLE BOX is fully funded all backers can complete the Kickstarter tracking survey; this allows you to indicate which store, if any, that you wish to pick up your BATTLE BOX. Also, there will be a place for you to tell me which extra trays you want: based you your pledge level.

I need eight weeks time for manufacturing, fulfillment and shipping of all orders. Add to that two weeks for Kickstarter to process all funds and transfer those funds to me so I can start manufacturing BATTLE BOXes!

I reserve the right to update and change any offer, amount or information regarding the BATTLE BOX as needed. I promise to make everyone aware of any pending change before it happens. I also guarantee to update everyone on the progress of BATTLE BOX.

THANK YOUBATTLE BOX could never have happened without the encouragement and support of others. From beta testing designs; people listening to my initial musings of an idea; the unrelenting support from local store owners; to putting up posters in stores and allowing me to shoot videos, I have way too many to thank. I plan on doing that at some point in a better way regardless of this project's success or not.

Of note however, was the efforts put forth by Stephen, the owner of All The Kings Men in Pittman, New Jersey. He has become a good friend and gave me valuable insight on many things as well as allowing me total access to his store for shooting my videos. Being allowed to have meetings there with people who were being recruited for things such as all the tokens used for rewards was critical too, even though many of these meetings led to games which is a good thing. :)

Thank you to everyone, you know who are, for helping make this all a reality!
