Dear backers and followers,
while we complete the last illustrations for the "New Armies" expansion we would like to use the chance to show you a digital mockup of the wooden blocks with the stickers on it.
Armys and Fleets - with frontside and the backside that reveals its combat value. From left to right the Spartans, Greeks and Romans.
Also, and we think this is of course the most important news for us all.We will get "History of the Ancient Seas" into production status this week, uploading all the print files to our production partner UWIN.
This also means that the manuals are fully approved and prepared for prepress. So we can release them as PDFs sometime this or next week to all of our backers :) We can not name the fixed date, but it will not be long. Most important right now is getting all the print ready files to our printer and coordinate with him.
Exciting news for all of us. You, the backers, and certainly also for us!
Take care and until the next update, your Sound of Drums team.
Spartacus wooden meeple!

Dear Followers and Subscribers,
“I am Spartacus!”
(famous quote of the movie “Spartacus” directed by Stanley Kubrick)
There is a nice little optional rule for "Spartacus" in „History of the Ancients Seas Volume III: MARE NOSTRUM“.
We talked about the optional rule for Spartacus in one of our earlier updates (#12).
But, as you may have noticed, we decided to have all playing pieces as customized wooden meeples and we decided against a material mix of wood and card board token for the pieces on the map.
I hope you like the result :-)
Spartacus ante portas!!
You should have reveived a notification by backerkit about the card charging process in the coming days. Thank you all for your support!
Take care and see you in the next update,
yours Uwe Walentin.
Happy new meeples and a Happy New Year!

Dear gamers, dear supporters,
we wish you a great 2023!
Our year ended by receiving preproduction samples of our beautiful wooden meeples for History of the Ancient Seas! The only thing need is a slight color correction on the Roman red by our manufacturer. All the rest has been approved by us.
final and approved meeple shapes, here in the colors of Athenae respectively the Greek City States
Above photo shows our final meeple shapes. From left to right you can see the Monumet, Soldier/Legion, Fortress, Ship, Fleet, Leader and Army. In the front the cube marker meeples and to the right of it the Marketplace.
The finalization of the last print files is getting closer and were looking forward to work on preproduction samples of the games!
meeples, meeples and more meeples :)
2023 will be very exciting for us at Sound of Drums. We have some great projects for you! Stay tuned here to learn about some fabulous games that we are working on!
Stay save, keep on gaming!
Your Sound of Drums Team!
HOTAS - update on preparation for production
over 1 year ago
– Thu, Dec 01, 2022 at 10:52:53 PM
Hello dear backers and subscribers
I hope you all do well!
We just want to let you know, we are busy finishing the printing files for HOTAS! I'd like to say, the "hardware" (maps, boxes, player sheets and the likes) are ready and wait to be sent to the printer. We still need to do some finetuning on the rules manual and back of the boxes. We are waiting for final samples of the customized wooden meeples to take nice pictures.
Thanks to all of you to have closed their order at Backerkit! There are only very few that didn't respond yet.
We will send you some appetizers when we received the samples :-)
Take care and have a good time!
Sincerely yours
Uwe Walentin
