Deadzone 3E: Two-Player Starter Set
Product number:
MGDZM103
Manufacturer:
Mantic Games
Deadzone takes place in containment zones - cities or whole planets that have been erased from planetary maps and left for dead. You control an elite team of soldiers ready to enter the potentially lethal Deadzone and scavenge for whatever lucrative resources you can find. But competition is fierce, and other Strike Teams will be out to thwart you on your mission. Get in, get out, get rich, or get dead.
Deadzone uses an innovative cube-based system for movement and shooting. Throw your tape measures in the garbage because you're never going to need them again! Apart from DIY, of course. Models can be moved anywhere in a cube, which ensures you can make the best use of cover and obstacles to avoid the enemy, and movement takes seconds, rather than minutes. Shooting is just the - measure the distance in cubes and, if you can see it, you can shoot it! Wargaming has never been this fast or cinematic.
Since the release of Deadzone: Second Edition in 2016, we've been refining the rules to make them faster and more streamlined. Third Edition incorporates all the changes and improvements made in the previous Outbreak and Escalation supplements, along with a host of other refinements. This is the Deadzone you love, just better. If you've never played before...well you've just found your new favourite game.
We've split the rules across two books that are packed with art, pictures and more. The core rulebook contains all the rules you need to start playing, along with campaign rules and 16(!) scenarios. Meanwhile, the Force List book contains the individual profiles and stats for each faction, along with details of how to build your Strike Teams and a handy weapons guide. . .after all, you don't want to take a knife to a Polaris Cannon fight.
Deadzone features 10 unique factions to choose from:
• Asterians - aloof aliens that use incredibly advanced androids and mechs to bring balance to the galaxy - no matter the cost
• Enforcers - the ruthless army of the Council of Seven, used to stamp out insurrection and control the Deadzones with extreme prejudice
• Forge Fathers - an ancient race of stoic dwarfs that use their incredible engineering skills to strip a planet of its resources and won't let anyone get in their way
• GCPS - each corporation has its own private army who are often left to fend for themselves in the containment zones when the enemy dropships arrive
• Marauders - piratical greenskins that travel the galaxy waiting to pounce on a Deadzone and sell their wares to the highest bidder
• Mazon Labs - a corporation that has become obsessed with secret experiments that twist people into deformed monsters used as terrible "field tests" in abandoned Deadzones
• Nameless - humanity's greatest threat could be this mysterious race of semi-aquatic aliens that have been driven to conflict by religious fervour
• The Plague - an insidious virus that spreads throughout the galaxy and turns its victims into ravening beasts that only have one purpose...to further the spread of the disease
• Rebs - determined to fight against the seemingly tyrannical spread of the mega corporations, the Rebs are a mix of humans and aliens that fight from the shadows
• Veer-myn - underneath sprawling cities or hiding in the dark corners of vast space stations, the Veer-myn are giant rat-like creatures just waiting to strike in order to protect their nest

I am absolutely in love with this game for several reasons. 1. The rules are easy to understand and still complex enough to make the game challenging and fun. 2. The story is the type I loved to watch and read especially as a kid. My wife and I also really love the story that is made as we play. 3. Games for me are very important as they help to lower stress, give you something fun and exciting to due, and most importantly they help to create memories for you and your loved ones. So the game being easy to understand, fun to play, and also doesn't take to long to play makes it that much better.

Awesome Beginners Kit
The quality and quantity you get for the price you pay or this is pretty awesome.

Best Miniature Skirmish… Ever!
DeadZone 3E starter set is an amazing value. The terrain definitely isn’t the best quality. The pieces don’t go together very good at all but the rest of the game is amazing. Quality miniatures and books. Easy to learn rules that allow you to get straight to the action. The cube system of movement and range means never having to use a tape measure again. Very few tokens allow the players to focus on the game, not a bunch of conditions and effects.

Highly recommended
The bulk of the armies are hard plastic models that come with many arm and head options; easy to clip off spruces and put together with plastic glue. The two leaders of each faction are resin models with nice detail, But require more clean up with a hobby knife and require “super glue†to assemble. The terrain is Great, hard plastic pieces of all sorts that fit together in a variety of configurations (would recommend glue, as connectors do not hold well without). The two Rule books are in color and the game system is easy compared to similar skirmish games. Excited to play once finished building it all up!

Great game and Great Value
The new two-player set is an amazing value for anyone looking to either get into deadzone or looking to even get some terrain for sci-fi gaming. Mantic always has great miniatures for their price but now they are just amazing and can compete with studios that charge three times as much!
