Hello Song for War Backers!

Good news from the front! You will be receiving a survey email from BackerKit, the popular crowd-funding support platform. We are targeting issuance this week, pending final review from BackerKit, which is in process now.

In the survey, you will be able to confirm your reward, provide your address and contact info for shipping, share insights on your backing experience, and even provide a recommendation for future WW II game scenarios. You do not need to create a BackerKit account to respond to the survey and, after submitting, you can revisit your responses before the survey deadline.

It is possible for the survey email to land in a spam folder, so please check your spam in the coming days to help ensure you don't miss it!

IMPORTANT: Shipping fees and taxes will NOT included in the survey. They will be charged at a later date when the game is ready to ship (estimated delivery date of June 2026). We are in discussions with fulfillment providers to help ensure the best rates for you, and we will be sure to keep you updated on our progress.

Thank you for backing Song for War! We are incredibly grateful!

Thank You! And What's Next...
about 1 year ago – Sat, May 24, 2025 at 04:01:21 PM

Hello team!

The Invicta Rex Games crew is incredibly excited and grateful for your support in making Song for War a smashing success, reaching 406 backers and 145% funded! A huge thank you to all.

We're well underway on the next steps around manufacturing and fulfillment and will keep you updated in the coming weeks and months. We've also been busy on the design of both of the unlocked stretch goals: the 5 additional 30-60 minute scenarios as well as the 6-player commander expansion. And lest we forget, we're starting work on the solo player bot that will be available as a print-and-play when the game is shipped in Summer 2026. If you have a question, or just a random thought you'd like to share, you can always reach us via our web site on www.invictarex.com. 

If you happen to be attending the Origins Game Fair in Columbus in June 2025 (right around the corner), stop by and say hello! We will be set up and running Song for War Italy and North Africa games in the gamers hall every day of the conference. We will be located as part of the Armchair Dragoons section in the gamer hall - just look for the banner.

Have a sparkling Memorial Day weekend - and a heartfelt thank you from Invicta Rex Games to all of the members of the US armed forces past and present.

Hello team!

Song for War is approaching its final week of the campaign and is a healthy 122% funded! We are incredibly grateful and excited to bring our game to you. Stay tuned as we run through the tape on the campaign - and a huge thank you for spreading the word! 

We'll also be closing the campaign strong to drive awareness and sustain the momentum. And what better way to kick it off than with a new review article coming soon by A Wargamers Needful Things, the UK-based, one-stop blog for wargamers and lovers of military history. We'll let you know as soon as it hits the airwaves. For a quick preview - and a link to their original full review of Song for War: Mediterranean Theater, simply click on the image below.

We will be sure to stay in touch with updates on production progress and timing!

SOLO BOT EXPANSION | Stretch Goal Update!
over 1 year ago – Sat, May 10, 2025 at 12:06:40 PM

Hi team!

The campaign is going strong and Song for War continues to make progress! Invicta Rex Games has also been keeping a close eye on the comments about the stretch goal for the solo bot expansion. We hear you, and we have some good news!

If the campaign does not reach the $36k stretch goal, we will design the solo bot anyway and publish it as a separate print and play expansion on the invictarex.com web site. We will target having the print and play ready in June of 2026 - which is the same estimated delivery date of the game. This creates a win-win: Interested backers receive the solo bot expansion, while keeping production costs level for Invicta Rex Games in the event we do not reach the $36k stretch goal. Of course, if the campaign successfully hits the $36k stretch goal, the solo bot expansion will be included in the core reward.

Thanks again and keep spreading the good news of Song for War!
