Awesome! Thanks Kom, I love seeing drafts and work throughs of designs!
I would love to see some of the skin designs. Did you have much input from Vincent and Kevin?

There was quite some inputs when I began- mostly was to have two sets of covers.
A set of two cover very stylized (a black and a white one- only indications).
A set of two with the aim of looking as much as possible as the book cover.
About the skin I was given nearly comlpete Charte Blanche.
I’ll ask if I can post the models but I don’t think there’ll be any problem.

Cool, thanks Kom!
The good Baltic Dragon opened a Merchandise Store with all sort of goodies branded with Raven’s FW logo and many of the other squadrons.

Since someone asked before, I can confirm that I do get a small % from each transaction, for my involvement in the creation of some of the art.
So, no pressure, no rush… I know I got a few things because they’re nice and quality is good.

idea pitch; team up with Kevin Miller to sell limited edition boxed copies featuring the cover art above (I vote for number 1) and a signed copy of the book. Donate a portion of proceeds to charity (Wounded Warrior gets my vote there).
Hard to pass that up for a lot of folks…

Just bought the book and will read it before I play the campaign. I am not normally one for campaigns in DCS but the fact that the voice overs are done by people I listen too often via there YouTube channels is a real draw. I imagine the immersion with familiar voices will really ramp up a notch

Well, whaddayaknow…
We’re talking about it.
Apparently everyone seems to like the idea so far.

That’s a really, REALLY great idea. I would absolutely buy this, even though I’ve already bought the campaign, especially if it came with kneeboard cards already.

Same here. I will buy the campaign either way but I would definitely wait for this version!!
I’ll order my t shirt on pay day…freaking awesome work

Awesome! Ill toss a few more logs on the fire then:
-sweeten the pot with a Ravens challenge coin and/or patch
-second kneeboards as @Navynuke99 notes
-a super duper collectors edition, that comes with a custom made Raven One hornet skin, complete with “Commander [fist name][call sign][Last Name]” on the side
I’m envisioning a shadow box on my wall with framed/signed copies of book and campaign box, coin/patch, and pic of that skin in game. Man cave bragging rights for a life time!

Uh, IIRC patches are a thing but the rest needs work…
Not that’s impossible, but the amount of work that can be devoted to this is important…
Let me think this through with Baltic.

The book(s) are good. This coming from someone that doesn’t care much for anything made up (I’ve read a zillion books but only maybe 4 'novel’s, this being one). Just my 2 cents.

Just finished mission 5; i’d say don’t read the book if it follows the story line closely (I haven’t) damn that was intense. What a wonderful campaign/sp experience so far, thumbs up

Wow, I didnt know you had a part in this, that’s awesome 
!
I too prefer the 1st cover (B&W), it’s a shame they didn’t use it
I had the same thing happening to me with Ranger79’ Op. Piercing Fury campaign.
Those awesome campaign makers should listen to the expertz
