new Dreadball game from mantic

http://www.beastsofwar.com/mantic-games/mantic-games-dreadball/

new game from Mantic that you blood Bowl chaps might like to look at =D

Looks awesome, can't wait to see the teams

My friend was involved with the play testing and said there will be teams for each race they release but he is not sure if they will be all in one hit or as and when they release the new races.
He did say the miniatures look very good as dose the board.
He also said if you have saw the old speedball game it is a little like that lol

That looks COOL!! LOVE the Human Team Artwork, definately would buy a set of them, dual purpose as could use for Dreadball and Bloodbowl...

In true Thrudball-Scrounge style, I've just emailed Clive Parsons of Mantic to see if we can help him promote this at Thrudball with some Dreadball flyers, a preview of how the game plays, or hopefully a donation to the Thrudball auction

PLEASE can you talk to your friend and ask him if he can wangle it for Mantic to allow us to preview this game, or see if he can help us scrounge something? I understand we'd have to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement.

Or could you send him my email address mrfrankhill@yahoo.com, and beg him to email me if he can help twist an arm at Mantic please?

Cheers
Frank

well i have sent him an email so see how it goes =D

Hi guys,

I'm Matt, Mantic Pathfinder and Alex's friend.

If you want to know more about DreadBall, just let me know. I'm also available for doing demos of all Mantic's games if you want me to pop along to the club some times. Just let me or Alex know and we can plan something.

Have you seen the DreadBall kickstarter? I'd post the link but I can't do that as a new member...

Fire away with DreadBall questions

Speedball!? As in THE Bitmap Brother's game from the early 90s Amiga days?

Seriously, that is beyond cool.

Hi Matt good to see you on here =D

i thought i would help by posting that link
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1744629938/dreadball-the-futuristic-sports-game

need to find the time and energy to get down to the Bognor club for more fun and games at some point.

Yay, got to have a demo game of dreadball last night…….. the game play was a little broken as we had to check rules a lot but seem to have lots of promise though my curse with all mantic board games still seems to hold true in that I can never roll more than a 3 no matter how mean dice I have lol.
Never played blood bowl so cannot compare it to that but it was fun. Should be having another go next week.

Matt said if you chaps want a demo to contact mantic and they will send one of their pathfinders along one evening (will probably be Matt).
