The Dietz Foundation

Yes--it is in the crowdfunding section. Once the game is physically available, the crowdfunding will disappear and the store will have it instead.

I'm not sure why you are getting this. I don't see anything within the website's guts--and we have orders that have come in. Perhaps simply go to the site and from there access Building Blocks?

THEORETICALLY, Chicago '68 will be here any day now.
It is DEFINITELY in Chicago...just a question of logistics...

Travel’s keep me busy but I’ll be doing more quick looks at my #ManeuverWarfare #cardgame #wargame in the coming days as it gets ready to leave the factory. ICYMI #1–game overview:
#USMC #Marines #wargaming @thedietzfoundation.bsky.social

And...while I'm here, Chicago '68 is still on schedule to arrive at the Foundation next week.

The LCIP 2nd ed and the 2nd ed upgrade kit are now on the Foundation website for early backing!

Order of the Day: Normandy and Littoral Commander: Baltic have been picked up from their factories...no idea when they'll arrive here, but they ARE on the way.

Dear @thenba.space --want to solve issues like too many 3s?
Why not change the game's dimensions? Increase court length and width 15%? Raise the rim a foot, too.

Dimensions are the same as 100 years ago--people are bigger/stronger/faster.

#evolution #basketball

(should do this for all sports...)

Littoral Commander: Baltic is ALMOST ready to ship to the Foundation!! Bigger box than LC:Indo...great bargain for an $80 donation...we may have to up this after this print run to $90-100!

Well, this may be of interest....

Just not QUITE ready for our Building Blocks program...

International LCIP and LCIP Wood orders look to go out on Tuesday of next week--which is when we can get a DHL pickup.

We're working on solutions in re Canada and the postal strike.

Domestic LCWood and LCIP...all out the door in time for USPS to get them onto semis/planes this evening.

I'd like to say my arms and back feel like jello now.

Dealing with 3+ tons of games is a lot of work!

LCIP and LCIP Wood have been offloaded.
LCIP Wood domestic singles--already out the door.
Hoping to get LCIP single domestic orders out the door before end of the day.
Goal is all domestic games by tomorrow at latest and int'l orders ready for DHL pickup NLT Monday

I'm hoping that for the next 120 hours, parents leave teachers alone, so that they can recharge for this semester's home stretch.

#Teachers : You're almost halfway there!! You've got this!

And I don't blame drivers for wanting to spend Friday as part of a 4-day holiday with their families!! That's ultimately what Thansgiving is about.

It's amusing to have logistics hiccups with delivery of a game where logistics are an integral part of things. For better or worse, the trucking company has no drivers available Friday, so now we are looking at Monday for delivery.

No--he's a VERY specific and important person. Littorally speaking.

Art for Maneuver_Warfare is underway...a lot of cards in it. The text here is missing the easy-to-use icons. Those are still being worked on. Recognize the influencer??

#Games #Marines #PME #education

Well--a small delay in delivery...the games JUST arrived at the transit warehouse. That means they are unlikely to be delivered here tomorrow. The revised delivery date is now either WED or FRI ---but still this week!!

OMG...the new maple chipotle sauce at Buffalo Wild Wings is *KINDA* Amazing.

Childhood friend’s mother inspires donor to create scholarship - Black Hawk College Jim Deitz was inspired by Dee Canfield, the mother of one of his childhood friends. In honor of her and her accomplishments, he recently established a scholarship in Canfield's name.

It's always great to help others. We started this #scholarship this spring. Not including scholarships of our own, we've made donations of $100k+ this year. Donate to us--we'll get it to good people doing good things!!

Latest update: Games arrive FRI at the shipper warehouse in Chicago...expected at the Foundation on TUE NOV 26! Almost there!

There'll be LC:Indo news later this week for people on our mailing list.

It MAY have to do with #Steam #computergames and @microprose.bsky.social ...but that's only a guess.
