What do they mean by base activation?

It seems like there was some controversy over activating bases? I don’t quite understand. Thank u

New Deadzone Starter Sets. Are the Command Dice the same as 2nd edition

So, Saturday I get my new 3rd edition starter set for Deadzone. No idea which one it'll be a surprise.

Did they change the command dice to a new design/symbols or are they the same as 2nd edition just black instead of white?

I can't find my 2nd ed box and I need to know if I'll need to order a 2nd set for running demos or if the old ones still work.

EW balance and release

We've managed to recruit almost all of the competitive player base in my country to late pledge for epic warpath. I sincerely hope the game will be balanced 🙏 so we'll have a good start to the release. Many of the players have been wargaming for 20+ years and will sniff imbalance straight away which would be bad for the future of warpath here.

We are sick of the GW money machine 😆. Mantic please don't screw it up 🤞we want this game to succeed so badly as we love the scale and tables!!!

Cheers!

Can someone point me to a picture of this super heavy unit? I cannot locate one. I'd like to see it before making my pledge choice. Thanks!

Peacekeeper Army List. How viable would it be?

So, I've always been fascinated by a 40k Terminator army list, Deathwing or Blood Angels. However, lacking enough spare organs to sell and having no house to double mortgage I could never afford one.

However, as I've started playing Warpath, Deadzone and soon Epic Warpath I thought "Why not try it here?"

Currently the list stands at

1x Peacekeeper Captain w/ 3 Peacekeepers

2x Peacekeeper squads w/ 4 peacekeepers and 1 Burst Laser ea.

1x Peacekeeper Defender squad w/ 4 peacekeepers and 1 Incinerator.

775 pts

Now I can already see I'm lacking in Anti-Tank capability so a Novashock team would be advisable and maybe a Peacekeeper squad with all Phase Claws for some dedicated assault capability. I thought about dropping a Strider or 2 to provide either anti infantry support (Burst Laser) or Anti Tank (Polaris Cannon) as they're neat and wouldn't be too far outside the army theme I think.

What do you think? Would it hold up as I'd be outnumbered against other Elite type armies and hilariously outnumbered against any horde type army.

Settle an argument for me.

The Enforcers vs. Marauders Starter Set (Battle of Cabot 3 now) was the first 2 player starter for Firefight correct? What year did it release in? I'm trying to figure out how long it's been between edition changes and I think that's the mile marker I'm looking for.

What factions?

I am just getting into the Warpath universe and am trying to figure out what factions to get with my Epic Warpath pledge.

Who are easiest to play? Most fun to play? Best lore?

I think I'm getting the Veer-Myn but need suggestions for my other armies.

Is there an official painting guide, as in what colors to use?

I realize that they are mine and I can paint them whatever I want, but I was wondering if Mantic put out a guide with faction colors. Or is the lore not that deep yet?

Looking for community

Looking to get into both Firefight & Deadzone. I’m in the southern Illinois area near St Louis. Anyone in the area that plays? Or even better is anyone part of a group in the area that plays?

Epic Warpath - game duration?

Anyone have a handle on how long a typical game of Epic Warpath takes? Or what the minimum viable force size is? Just trying to figure out whether its a good way of playing smaller (as in points, not scale!) games on a lunchtime or not!

FireFight Rules Committee is searching for play testers

Hello Everyone. Mantic is currently developing a new faction for the game, with the help of their play testers. It’s been a while since they asked if anyone is interested in joining, so here’s a quick call out.

Play testers would:

- Be willing to sign a NDA with Mantic.

- Have some experience playing the latest edition of Firefight.

- Be able to play multiple games with the current test version of the new list.

- Be able to join the discord channel for admin and feedback purposes.

- Ideally (but not a deal breaker) be able to play on UniversalBattle or TableTopSimulator with other testers who are not local.

Please drop one of the RC (greektlake5255, richardl_80, kohmat) a DM on Mantic Fans Discord (https://discord.com/invite/vMkM48vP) if you are interested

Is hacker useless in Firefight 2nd edition?

I've been reading through the rules for 2nd edition and building some lists. I love the hacker units! Hacker says it will do something different based on the scenario rules. I read the scenario rules, and there's exactly one scenario where it does anything at all. Am I missing something or is it not a consideration for putting into your force list unless the engineer comes with cool weapons?

It's especially baffling because the enforcers have to pay extra to bring an engineer that has weaker weapons. Only to get a keyword that doesn't do anything 7/8 games.
