I am an experienced Warfighter player. What are the changes to the Warfighter rules in Eastern Front WWII?
The Eastern Front core box and expansions will not affect anything in the existing rules or cards, and are backward compatible with earlier rules. This setting will have a different feel from the other WWII titles, with a grimmer setting and character. Its Missions, Locations, and Objectives are built around the ravaged urban landscapes and frozen wastelands, where every step forward is a struggle. The two main changes are the introduction of the political comissar, or Zampolit, who represents the party and their influence on your squad decisions and orders; and the Critical Hit Deck expansion, which adds colourful, cinematic injury effects to the combat mechanics (although its use is also purely optional.)

I already have existing Warfighter core boxes and expansions. How compatible are the Eastern Front expansions with what I already have?
If you have already played Warfighter with expansions, then you probably know how each expansion is designed to combine with a “parent” core box. An expansion would give you new cards to play, but it requires a core box to be playable.
The Soviet Airborne expansion, for example, would add new Airborne missions (along with soldiers, gear, skills and events) to the core game in the Eastern Front setting, but you would use the core for its Locations and Hostiles to move and fight, as well as other Skills and Gear in the Eastern Front box used by Soviet Airborne Soldiers.
For compatibility, all the cards in Eastern Front are game-balanced and backward compatible and playable with earlier versions of WWII games, which is how all previous WWII sets have been designed, with one exception. The only new Eastern Front core box mechanic would be the Zampolit, which you could ignore and play without one if using earlier core boxes.
For example, the new Soviet Airborne could be played with the Europe core box Locations and Hostiles. You would be missing Eastern Front core box Skill or Gear cards, which you would replace with another Skill or Gear of the same RP value from the Europe core box, and just skip playing with a Zampolit.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
