Welcome to episode 32 of Deadzone the Podcast. Jack and Rob have an extra long episode looking at the new Kickstarter and recap Adepticon 2015!
.
.
Exham IV was the centre of expansion in the universe but the planet was knocked slightly out of orbit thus causing an ice age on the mining planet. The space station, Priory Station orbiting it is still a hub of travel but a virus has broken out on planet and is threatening to spread to the station. A Enforcer Pathfinder force was sent to investigate and they found a massive Veer-myn infestation which is responsible for the virus. Lots of references to HP Lovecraft. Exham Priory was in the story Rats in the Walls and the name of the corp who runs the planet is Mi-Gan which is reminiscent of the Mi-Go from his stories!
.
.
New Rule Book
new Deadzone Hardback Core Rulebook features an in-depth background section, Core and Advanced Rules, a new campaign section and army lists as well as all of the essential core rules, abilities and equipment from the previous Deadzone expansions.
aim is to create a compelling campaign system, balance the factions and missions, make it easier to learn and navigate, and clarify and tidy up any rules that require it.
.
.
New Faction Veer-Myn
“An insidious disease ridden race, the Veer-Myn fester in the darkest corners of man’s world. Their broods writhe and chatter in a rodent like manner, equally matched by their physical appearance. The uncertainty of whether the Veer-Myn act with a motive, or just the need to infest and expand, only adds to the nightmare created from what lurks within the shadows.”
.
.
Enforcer Expansion – Pathfinders
“Even amongst the ranks of the Enforcers, the Pathfinders are an elite and highly specialised group. Their role demands that they avoid direct contact with the enemy wherever possible and their standard equipment and weaponry reflect this. Deployed ahead of the main force, the Pathfinders are tasked with gathering all the necessary Intel required to support a successful campaign, while eliminating any obstacles that may hinder the deployment of the main Enforcer vanguard.”

~DZtP House Rules
Initiative
Roll One Die each
Model who didn't go last gets +1 die
Must roll under leaders Command total
Ties go to person with least number of models
.
Mercs/Heroes
Mercs who only work for one faction are heroes of that faction not Mercs!
-They can be leaders
-You can have multiple different heroes in an army but they count against your trooper allotment
.
Alterante Overwatch
Long Action
Limited Range
Interrupts movement of anyone passing in front of model with LOS
All models must shoot at first enemy target moving into range and LOS (all Overwatches happen simultaneously)
No aim or cards but abilities such as Marksman do add to roll
.
Mutation
Acid Breath - Dogs should be able to use it at 5+ Shoot
.
Sentry
Can be destroyed by anybody alone in square with it.
.
Picking up Items
Any model with a command skill can pick up items even without shoot skill (ie Stage1A)
.
.
~Battle Report
New Scenario for Indoor Map
-put 3 exits on board strategically placed to be fair to all factions
-There is one item hidden in facility which must be recovered and taken out of any exit
-Every model (excluding mindless models such as PlagueDogs or Mawbeasts) gain the long action “Search”
-“Search” allows model to look for item in room
-each room can only be searched once/faction
-model must be alert to search (not Pinned, Suppressed or Enraged)
-deployment room cannot be searched by that faction but can be by other faction
-roll 1d8 at the beginning of the searching model’s next activation (this means it takes one whole turn before you find out if item is found)
-a roll of 8 finds the item with a -1/room searched (so 2nd room would find item on 7 or 8 and 3rd room item found on 6, 7 or 8)
-when item is found an alarm sounds allowing everyone to know that item has been found
-there is only one item so all other searching characters automatically fail their search rolls
-once found, item has to be brought out of any exit
-item can be traded as per trading item rules
-the actual model who has the item can be hidden from opposing player by putting token under the model’s card or other such method
-the booby trap card can be used on any searching model
-searching model must have triggered a trap
-search disrupted if model is knocked down (ie pinned or suppressed)
-when person holding item reaches an exit they must roll 1d8
-roll of 1 or 2 means the first door is locked and they must find another exit
-on second exit roll again but this time a roll of 1 only means its locked
-third exit tried is always open
-if model holding item is killed the item drops into that square and any model entering the square can pick it up and then they have to make it out

Deadzone Windows Phone App
Lindsay Spare.
Deadzone quick reference app that I have built for Windows Phone
The app is both free to users, and free from ads.
.
The latest version features data for all published material so far for abilities, items, mutations, actions, units - including Contagion & Mars Attacks. It also has an in built Strike Team builder, with the ability to save Teams to the phone.
.
It was originally built it as a hobby project for personal use, but Mantic were awesome enough to approve publishing it to the wider masses (as long as it was free), so it now has a bit more polish and work put into it than the original iteration.
.
Features;
- general user interface for this app will be quite familiar to most windows phone user’s
- starts off presenting the user the available quick reference categories; Abilities, Actions, Factions, Items & Mutations.
- once the user has tapped on a category, they are taken to the alphabetised list, by name, of the relevant category. A tap on a name here will load the relevant detailed information.
- The ‘Factions’ category will list each of the factions available in Deadzone, including mercenaries, and when a faction is tapped, will load an alphabetized list of all the units available to the faction, which in turn, will load the the ‘stat card’ for the unit.
- Very straight forward, very easy to use, and much easier than trying to remember which rule was in what book, where in said book etc
-Swiping to the side brings the user to the Strike Team builder
-another swipe will take them to a quick launcher for recently saved Strike Teams
-user can view (and edit) all saved Strike teams, or create one.
-When creating, they choose a faction, set the points limit for the team, and set a name, and are taken to where they choose their units.
-select from all available units to the faction, including mercenaries that will work for them, from a selector box.
-Once picked, they press the add button to include it in the list.
- unit can be deleted, by pressing the select button, then marking a unit and pressing the delete button.
-Strike Team is validated against the normal composition rules, which is displayed across the top of the screen.
-Running points total, number of Trooper models, leaders, specialists etc.
-If the points total exceeds the set limit, or the trooper count is too low, then then errors become highlighted at the top as well.
-While a team is legal, it can be saved at any time. As soon as it becomes illegal, it is no longer able to be saved.
-list of up to 8 of the most recently saved Strike Teams are shown on the quick launch section, showing the faction, team name and points total of the list.
.
The app is only for Windows Phone at this stage, but who knows what the future will bring.....
