This is be my first one that I will get a chance to back. It's a shame I missed out on the first two but I am definitely going to be backing this one!I'm pretty confident that Jackson won't be doing anymore projects through Kickstarter, He made that clear in his Google hangout sesh's during the Sherlock campaign. I expect that this project will be privately funded and made available through Kings Wild.
If it's not on Kickstarter, I wonder if we'll have a chance to pre-order the decks.
Coming March 2014 -- United States Army deck !Better start saving now...
no offence here. but I'm not a big fan of fed52 or something with familiar design. will pass on this one.

Actually, it was on Kickstarter. I know he has some leftover decks and they're available on his website, from both Part 1 and Part 2 of the series.

Don, I'm confused on what you're saying here. I think Sher was wondering whether or not this Army Deck will be on Kickstarter or sold exclusively on Jackson's website. And then it sounded like you were referring to his past projects.
I'm open to being corrected, I'm just confused. I don't want to miss out on any new info and you seem to always have the scoop.
I'm gonna go ahead and post a sad face in Magikfingerz's honor, for them being Kickstarters. :(
Things are going great for Kings Wild, and I have some other plans I'm working on that will be off of Kickstarter. For me Kickstarter isn't broke yet so I'm not gonna try and fix it.
With that said I'm trying to make strategic decisions and moves to get me out of the Kickstarter cycle, because I don't think it's wise for my new business to keep all my eggs in one basket.

That card back is slick. I see these sales going well beyond the traditional collector. Get these sold in PXs by next Xmas maybe?
Great job, and I look forward to seeing this type of quality for the Marines....

I thought Sher was asking about Fed 52 Part 2 decks... Blah... I need more sleep...
Coming to kickstarter on March 15th at 12pm (I'm assuming EST) ...

Since Jackson is in Texas, I'm assuming Central (DST).
Can't wait for these!
I now live in Tennessee. It will be 12 pm central in march.
Jackson does live in the Central time zone, and it's currently CST, not DST, meaning Central Standard Time. CDT, or Central Daylight Time, begins in late March.

Daylight Saving Time starts on March 9, so when these are released, it'll be DST (Central).
Oh man. Finally, I'm able to get in on a Jackson Robinson / Kings Wild deck! I may never be able to afford the Fed 52s 1 or 2 but they are so secsy.... I'm ready. Setting alarm to remind me to queue up the browser in March.
Jackson moved to Barlett Tennessee - basically a suburb of Memphis. I just got a package from his new Kings Wild Fulfillment Center yesterday. He was "on the way" when we talked a couple of weeks ago - maybe near a month, now?Coming to kickstarter on March 15th at 12pm (I'm assuming EST) ...

Front & Back of Standard Edition based on the original.
Jackson, are you sticking with the 101, or are you going with the traditional 303?- Just an idea, what about a small change like 304.

May I assume the Premium and Limited have the custom courts you were mentioning, while the 're-imagined' is more like the original deck? Thanks for sharing these details, hopefully some sneak peaks at the courts isn't far behind? Hmmmmm???? ;)

One of the most humbling aspect of my upcoming United States Army Playing Card project is the opportunity I have to honor some of the members of my own family who fought and some who died in the line of service. This is my Grandfather Truett Mayes whom I never had the pleasure to meet but who had an incredibly powerful impact on my life.

This Saturday at 12pm Central the Kings Wild Project, officially licensed United States Army project goes live on Kickstarter. Be there. Presented by Kings Wild Project and Nomades Collection
I wonder what led to the decision do the black ops version in simply black and white. Not to take anything away from it but that sepia toned one just pops in comparison. I guess I am just complimenting the colorized vs the other one here. If I hadn't seen them side by side I would probably appreciate the black and white one more but in this example it just gets overshadowed. I do like how it is a white background without aging though. It'll be nice to have a deck with faux aged and normal white backed versions in the same project. Stellar artwork yet again Jackson. I look forward to each release.
Good News, Bad News.
Let’s start with the bad news.
We will be canceling the project as of Wednesday October 1st. Kings Wild Project, along with my collaborating company Nomades, have decided to go in a different direction for the military decks over all. Because they are in a series, we want there to be continuity throughout the service branches. Since nothing has been printed, changes are much easier in this stage of the game than later.
We could attempt to make the necessary changes on this existing project but the confusion would be outrageous for backers and any kind of fulfillment.
Good News?...
We will be relaunching “Army 2.0” with a different direction in a short time. You will still be able to have an awesome Army deck, give them as gifts and honor the Army! You just have to wait a bit longer.
What are you talking about Jackson is not Jackson without at least 4 decks coming out at the same time. I would get close and cuddly with USPCC and be the poster child for the new 1000 deck minimum. He likes Limited Edition decks. I noticed all his decks in the past were in the Kickstarter category "Design" he recently changed his Army deck t to the sub category "Graphic Design". I guess he didn't like being 3 pages down to find his Kickstarter. I would go for the jugular and have it in the category "Games" under the sub category "Playing Cards" It might make a slight difference. :)

I actually think the move to the 1000 minimum (which has now bee resended by USPCC) was one of the worst moves they could have made. Not only were they 6 months behind the curve the days of high priced decks are at an end and people will have to start producing the same level of quality but at a fraction of the price to stay viable. I honestly will not touch 1000 minimums with a 10 foot poll for a while now.
Also the return ARMY 2.0 will most likely have 1 deck and 1 deck only.
Plain and simple, gilding is a costly process that has to be done by hand. The process to this day has not been automated.
He's right - making design changes to the series as a whole now is much simpler than having to "retcon" things afterwards or simply having an inconsistent series of decks.
I simply beg of him to GO EASY on the number of decks in a project. Deck bloat is becoming a serious turn-off for me. A simple project whose decks I really like suddenly costs an arm and both legs if I want the full set before time runs out. A more gradual roll-out in separate projects makes the decks easier to manage financially, particularly for people wanting either complete sets or simply a healthy number of some of the designs. When there's more than two or three designs to a project, it just gets tougher to keep track of and there's bound to be some people left dissatisfied.

Officially Licensed US Army playing cards. Returning to Kickstarter on Saturday January 24th, 2015.
Love the art. Hate the "stained/weathered" look. Just so tired of it by now.
I'm glad to see it's a modern version of the army he's portraying - we've all seen our share of historical military decks.
Not all rough and gritty styles are necessarily stained or weathered. This was a specific choice combining two of my favorite art styles. It is a mixture of both Japanese watercolor, hand lettered Japanese typography and one of my favorite oil painters Richard Schmid. I also was very inspired by the Japanese conceptual art of the Metal Gear Solid franchise. Oh and there will be old and historic elements as well.I agree that MGS is fantastic, but isn't the artist Ashley Wood, who's Australian? :)

I love all of his work. Not to digress, but the absolute best Japanese artist is Yoshitaka Amano.

Bama, I think you might have made an error. He's not claiming that Schmid is the artist of the Metal Gear Solid conceptual art.
For me, it's simply a matter of wait and see. I like much of what I'm seeing thus far and find it to be a welcome departure from the style of your previous work, Jackson.
I often make mistakes.
But in this case my point is that MGS was not drawn by a Japanese artist, so its not really Japanese conceptual art.
I was being nitpicky, my bad.

MGS is great. Schmid is great.
I'm sure this deck will be great.
Can't wait to see the pip cards.
