Review
I got Deadzone from Mantic on the 1st edition kickstarter (wow over 10 years ago now)and painted up all the models etc. after that. You can see the post for those back somewhere in my old blog posts here. But, I never played it till this week. One of my regular opponents has a later edition and fancied trying it so we have dug it out and played a couple of games now. This was also the trigger for me finally to finish the various terrain which came with the kickstarter. So you will see this below but I’ll be doing more blog posts showing that soon.
So here is a quick write up of the game this week and some comments on the rules. We played using the 3rd edition of the rules. Deadzone is Mantic’s game of skirmish style sci-fi combat. So a Necromunda/kill team level game. A skirmish typically has 5 to 20 or so figures per side. Deadzone is a simple set of rules, so the opposite to kill team which I seem to feel wants to make things more complicated if they can. The mechanics are easy and you don’t need massive books and loads of specific, complex rules or movement markers to play it. The forces available in Deadzone are those for the normal Mantic sci-fi world – so their space dwarfs, space rats, plague victims, stormtroopers, mercenaries etc.
