Update 8/18/2025

Happy Monday everyone!

Today I’m excited to release the Incident Management Team expansion for Emergency Operations Center Wildfire Mayhem. Originally there was going to be a paid expansion released this summer. However, due to the amazing community support and patience through the delays as we built the infrastructure to expand and get off the ground I’m making this expansion and a new free map/game mode based on the California Palisades Fire and nearby California Fires FREE!!!! Thank you to the amazing community! P.S. the new map/game mode will release in a few weeks.

A bit about the IMT expansion… The IMT Expansion Pack gives players a new system that allows them to buff and upgrade their units. Think of this as an upgrade system that allows the team to level the playing field by expanding the leadership “Incident Management Team” as the disaster progresses. You’ll have to make strategic decisions about who and what to staff on the ICS org chart which will net the team a variety of bonuses from quicker deployment times, more requisition points, increased unit strength, defense, movement, etc.

Kickstarter Update for EOC Wildfire Mayhem

Everyone who has paid for shipping for their Emergency Operations Center Wildfire Mayhem games has now received them. We have shipped over 1520 units across 25 countries. For the few handfuls of folks who have yet to pay your shipping please email me at arthur@simentalindustries.com so I can get you squared away.

That said, this week I am catching up on orders from the EM Disaster Gaming store. I’m planning to mail out any missing EOC Wildfire Mayhem challenge coins tomorrow. I’ll also be working to mail out a bunch of EOC Incident Commander: Hell’s Highway Games. Check you mail this Friday/Sat. for missing coins and orders because we are working to get them out!

EOC Hardboard Backorder

If you ordered a hardboard upgrade these are still on backorder and will likely be for at least another month. About 44 people have ordered and at about 100 backorders I’ll place an inventory order for more. If you ordered another product with a backordered product know that your shipping is delayed because the backordered product is not ready to ship.

Future

This Wed. morning I have a major announcement coming out about a new partnership and the future of EM Disaster Gaming. Mark your calendars for Wed. you’re not going to want to miss this! I’ve posted a sneak peek at what’s coming on some select socials. 😉

Thank you all again for your patience and support. As we move forward, I am working to build more infrastructure and capacity. Our new partnership is providing me with much needed manpower and I hope to hire a dedicated staff member and am working to onboard two interns to improve customer service and shorten delivery and production times. Currently up to now its basically been just me with support of my family on occasion. So I really appreciate your patience as we ramp things up and catch-up on emails and orders. I’m behind about 200 emails right now….

Best,
