When Rob’s away Ronnie and Elvis come out to play.

When Rob’s away, Ronnie will play!

We are in the middle of the year (where did it go?), and Rob has made the schoolboy error of going on holiday…leaving me to take over the newsletter, webstore and Blog – What could possibly go wrong!?

So what’s hot?

First up, the Goblins are in store right now…

…and I don’t care what game you play, if you like greenskins, you are gonna love these nasty little fellas!

Get along to your local store, or www.manticgames.com and get some while the first wave is still available (these are resin, so production takes a while!).

……WARNING – CONTAINMENT PROTOCOL – INITIATED…..

With Deadzone continuing to grow in popularity, and welcoming new gamers the world over, we are back with this year’s upgrade to the core rules. The Containment Protocol: Escalation book gives every player:

• New factions, such as a Merc force and the Veer-myn Volt-chasers
• The latest balanced and improved army lists for every faction
• New Missions – and new secret Missions
• Interactive Scenery – including computer terminals, specimen tanks and even Explosive Barrels!

Alongside the book there is also an Incoming Intel Deck – allowing for in-game mission upgrades and new objectives – and of course the factions themselves are available too.

To dig deeper into what’s inside Containment Protocol: Escalation there’s new content hitting the blog and Facebook every day…

However, one of the best ways to add the Mercs, and the scenery to your collection is to pick up the Star Saga game.

Not only does it have both of those in the box (which bought individually would come to £70) but you also get the Mazon Labs faction in the game – meaning not only do you save money – you get the fantastic Sci-Fi Dungeon Crawler Game thrown in!

Well that doesn’t sound very mad so far, Ronnie…

Throughout June, the Star Saga Beyond Eiras Bundle will be available at just £50!

Which for Deadzone fans means the game PLUS 2 factions – Mercs and Mazon Labs AND Interactive Scenery and doors

On top of which, every bundle will come with:

• Fear in the Darkness Expansion
• Star Saga Character and Mission Creator Expansion
• 6 bonus Star Saga miniatures, Blaine, Kira Nikolovski, the Survivor, Hacker Half-Tail, The Fear, and Koris Mercenaries

Beyond Eiras Mission book with 15 new missions, plus Project Pandora rules and missions

If you are just keen to give Deadzone a try – then, as always from Mantic, you’ll find free basic rules right here.

Come back Friday when I’ll be revealing all by video (!), blog and email about Mantic’s plans for the summer and beyond!

Until then, keep rolling exploding 8’s, and sharing your hobby projects with us!!

Best wishes

Ronnie
