"Every Lieutenant-Colonel tier backer and higher will receive an invite. Once the major bugs (and we do mean major) have been found by this relatively small group of people, we'll open up the Drill Camp with quite a few bits of added content (doubling the Drill Camp map size with the inclusion of a CSA army camp) to the rest of our Alpha backers (Major Physical, Major & Captain)."

So i'm curious, because during the kick starter it was said that they hoped to get the alpha skirmish 1 thing out 6 months after the kick starter, that would be this month or June. Now of course this estimate was made back in November so i wouldn't hold them to it, i'm just curious of their plans

Field report 28: Drill Camp Released!

A new hidden Alpha sub-forum has been added at: http://www.warofrightsforum.com/forum.php. All forum profiles linked to pledge tiers at Lieutenant Colonel or higher have access to this new section of the forum. Here, you'll be able to post Alpha feedback, submit bug reports or just talk about the Drill Camp activities in general. Once we broaden the access to the Drill Camp to more pledge tiers we will open up the Alpha sub-forum to those pledge tiers also.

Could take several weeks.

I wouldn't hedge your bets or make any wild estimations. There are number of key bugs that need to be fixed up and new bugs being discovered daily. For now I'd say simply live with the fact that no estimation is going to be met and that a due date is completely up in the air for when the Devs feel they are ready to send in the next, far larger it should be noted, wave of backers.

yup, very much... I really would appreciate a littlebit more open information sharing. I have no problem with waiting until I can play, but the more or less complete silence is a bit depressing.

You need to stop and consider the size of the operations you're dealing with for this venture. Campfire Games (C.G.,) is not a great big mega million dollar establishment with PR departments and the like where they can disburse this information. C.G. is a small, and I mean small, operation. The major components of this company are directly involved with the day to day programing and forming of this endeavor. They don't have the time, nor the manpower other companies might have to provide community information.

As Oleander says, in this case, a quiet development team is a good thing ... it means they're solely focused on production of the game at hand and not talking up something they might not be able to deliver. Instead, they're busy making sure that this endeavor will be the best experience their followers and their future players will have.

I work in the gaming industry myself, so I am very aware of that. Still, other small teams are able to give some kind of readable update to their community about the progression aswell without sacrificing their game. It's a game funded by the community, they made this work possible after all. I totally can understand that a lot of people feel a littlebit edgy about updates and about how the game is progressing. Posting a short list every two weeks would not take much time. It's not like there are no bad examples of "no communication community backed" games out there. This said, I am sure they do a great job and hopefully take their time to deliver the best product possible. No need to release anything soon. Still, some more informations outside the alpha forum would be nice to have. I for myself wouldn't need a big, nicely edited video.

You'll get your share of information about content pretty soon - there are a number of reasons why we've been quiet these past weeks. :)

Awesome :) I am really curious about how you come along with the cryengine, which is not exactly the most developerfriendly engine and toolset out there ;)

There have been no updates to the Alpha since June 25th, save for a small update through Steam for something on Valve's end. For the most part, everything has been quiet which usually means something big is about to happen. I'd say the developers don't want to let anything slip out and ruin the surprise. I should say that I have no idea what they're up to, but I have a keen suspicion. :)

The uniform in the screenshot has a few inaccuracies, I'm sure they'll fix them by the time we get the alpha.
Can't wait to see what they look like.

Hey I just realized an inaccuracy. The 1st U.S Sharpshooter's buttons are wrong! They had rubber goodyear buttons so the reflection wouldn't give away their position.
In fact they weren't allowed to have a single bit of brass or other shiny metals on their uniform either! Everything from their rifles to their canteens were either given a blue or brown finish so it didn't shine or was made from a different material.

That is only correct to some extent. They used rubber buttons (or wood buttons as the example in The Smithsonian has), however, they were issued normal leathers (brass breast plate and belt buckle included) and if you look up some of the descriptions of them you'll notice that they were really all but a uniformly looking unit by as early as december 1862 a reviewing officer wrote that "they were perfect slouches and slovens in appearance [of whom] no two are uniformed alike." By 1863 most, if not all used regular sack coats instead of their well known dark green frocks. There are even discussions going on about the possibility of there being no green berdan sharpshooter present during the battle of Gettysburg. Needless to say, our sharpshooters will reflect this in the game also. :)

I had always suspected that the removal of brass was up to the soldier. Like Trusty said, the uniforms were issued with brass, as can be seen here. (http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_1356264) The blue uniforms would have been treated in the same manner, some would have cut the buttons off and replaced them with a non reflective style, others would have left them alone.

That is the smithsonian example I mentioned earlier. I believe those are wooden buttons actually. :)

I thought I read brass in the description, but after zooming WAY in I can see they are wood. I've never seen wooden buttons with an eagle on them. That's what made me think they were brass.
