Show Notes
This episode is sponsored by Mantic Games and Halo: Flashpoint.
I'm joined by Mantic founder Ronnie Renton and communications manager Alex to talk about why Halo: Flashpoint works so well as a low-commitment entry into miniature gaming. Ronnie and Alex cover how a turn plays out, from command dice and alternating activations to opposed rolls and exploding 8s. They also explain how respawning keeps a bad round from sinking your game, and get into the compact 2x2x2 cube battlefield and the creative possibilities of 3D terrain.
The guys also preview the Covenant faction expansion and the Campaign Evolved board game, before laying out details of the Fast Grow painting challenge, which runs from 23rd October to 1st November. The Fast Grow asks you to paint your first fireteam in nine days, and I'll be having a wee shot myself!
Ronnie also gives a quick rundown of what else Mantic has coming, including Epic Warpath, Kings of War, and the Plants vs. Zombies board game on Kickstarter.
Mantic have also pledged a prize to one listener who sends in a hobby update voice clip this month at bedroombattlefields.com/voicemail, so be sure to get your clip in and get involved!
