Washed my hands of the whole thing ages ago after Tony went off the deep end, refused to even accept mild criticism, and only listened to yes men (one of the kickstarter guys posted as "tiak" and was a principle cheerleader.
I occasionally feel bad about not being more strident about warning people away from the kickstarter since the people running it were incompetent (and that's not even to mention Tony pretending to not be involved). In fact, the kickstarter was the last straw for me since, well, it was being handled in the worst possible way.
By that time all of the other people who founded wargames factory - Tim Barry, John Morse, and Howard Whitehouse - had washed their hands of the thing as well. In fact, I'm pretty sure that, by the time of the kickstarter, they didn't actually have a sculptor to finish the project.
Also, yes, Tony was fucking racist as hell against Chinese people. He deliberately wrote them as the Yellow Peril in his Alien War universe.
