It’s here: Mars Attacks! Mantic Games’ 5th Kickstarter (including Loka, which – though published by Mantic – was as much Alessio Cavatore’s pet project), and their first Kickstarter for a licensed Intellectual Property. By every possible benchmark, this is Mantic’s most professional and slickest Kickstarter yet. It’s flawlessly build and took off like a rocket on its […]

Competitive Warhammer 40K is a myth. It doesn’t exist. Never has. Who wins or loses a game of Warhammer 40K is not primarily determined by any intrinsic quality of the players, such as “skill” or “talent”.
