"Sedition Wars and Deadzone" Topic

So the game Sedition Wars flopped, which sucks because the figures are really nice. You can pick the game up for $35 USD and it comes with 50 really nicely detailed figures. Note however they come in about a billion pieces and you need to glue them together…

One of the reasons it failed was the rules needed better playtesting. From what I've read of the fluff and the scenarios it seems like a really great idea for a tactical game. So I'm wondering if anyone has converted the game to Deadzone which is much more popular.

Anyone?

After the mess made by Cool Mini, I just boxed them.
They actually told us when we asked for pdf to review before shipping that the rules were tight and others might take their ideas if the gave us a pdf.

That is one group that will never see any money from me again.

They still owe the solo rules to the folks in the KS.

Are you talking about "The Battle for Alabaster"? I bought 2 boxes, rules and all, on Amazon. You are correct that the miniatures are very nice, and many of them do come in pieces, but you can use super glue and it will bond to the parts. There are also some very nice bases, some plastic markers that are used to indicate "infection", and the "terrain", read printed double-sided cardboard, is nice. I really like the subway scenario with separate subway cards…again, cardboard.

You could probably easily port the humans to be Corporation or Rebels. The aliens look like they'd make nice alternative Plague. A unifying paint scheme and similar basing could help minimize extreme differences.

I was thinking that too about doing them as modified Plague. I like the nano rules. The figures look great.

It was one of the more disappointing KS but salvagable.

The tool registration on the cardboard, by the way, is attrocious. I'm now extremely glad the guys at Battle Systems worked extremely hard to make sure tolerances were good for that KS. I can't wait for my product to show up!

The vanguard could easily be used for Infinity. Sedition Wars has really nice miniatures, too bad the game is nearly unplayable!

I picked up a KS regret sale on alabaster. I've turned two sets of boards into "3d rooms" (with walls and stuff)and kept the human stuff from those and an expansion set. The plague things I gave away to a local who wanted zombies.

I grew up with zombies in the 80s. I got a little bit tired of zombies/nanoplague/handwavium several years before SW came out.

As a board game, it does lack something. For $50 USD, the tiles and human figures weren't a bad deal, though.

I just wish I could get more of the opticamo guys…
