Deadzone 3rd Edition

Set on the fringes of civilised space, 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 is a fast-paced, futuristic science fiction skirmish miniatures game for two players, set in a gritty, quarantined war-torn “Deadzone” environment.Players command small, elite squads of soldiers and heroes on a 3D battlefield, using innovative cube-based movement and dice for combat to fight over valuable resources. The game features strategic, mission-based scenarios, expandable factions, and a focus on quick, tactical battles with a strong emphasis on terrain and cover.
 

Key Aspects of Deadzone
  • Skirmish-Level Combat:
    Unlike games with large armies, Deadzone focuses on small, elite strike teams, typically consisting of 5 to 15 models. 

  • Cube-Based Movement:
    The game utilizes a unique cube-based system instead of tape measures for movement and line of sight, allowing for fast-paced and tactical use of terrain for cover. 

  • Futuristic Sci-Fi Setting:
    Battles take place within “Deadzones,” which are quarantine zones, containment areas, or war-torn urban environments on alien planets or in space. 

  • Mission-Driven Gameplay:
    Players engage in objective-based scenarios, such as scavenging for resources, rather than simple elimination. 

  • Tactical Depth:
    Players must manage their strike team’s actions, utilize their leader’s abilities, and leverage the 3D environment to outmaneuver and defeat their opponents. 

  • Expandable Gameplay:
    The game includes rules for customizing strike teams with new equipment and special abilities, and a range of different factions and booster sets are available to expand your forces. 

  • Modular Terrain:
    The battlefield is brought to life with 3D, modular terrain tiles that click together, allowing for dynamic and interactive gaming environments.
