A few more details that have been taken from designer blogs and interviews
#You pick a team sponsor that allows access to various different players and you have a number of credits to spend to build your team. #Scoring zones are the same but there are lots of obstacles on the pitch. #Base game Convicts and Asterians – new Asterian team more brutal than the current one. #6-8 new MVPs #KS will fund new teams that can be used in regular Dreadball as well. #Possibly 3 new Seasons 4,5,6 – 4 new teams each (12 total) – depends on funding. #Aiming for 24 teams in total over 6 seasons (not including MA team) #Dreadball Extreme pitch will be like the Ultimate pitch (mouse pad type) also possible that the original pitch will be done like this as a stretch goal.

Sounds good - seeing Balinese rules 'illegal weapons' will be a rule that should allow the a change in game & approach. Looking forward to it!

You beat me to it I was about to post the play test pic - looks very odd almost like there are gate keepers in the bottom left of each side - also all the clutter on the field and shape is interesting - looks like its dreadball with gadgets and tools - more stat lines for team make up (3 striker types). I was vowed off of KS but I may return for mantic again lol

Kick starter due to launch 21st feb. looking at the picture it looks similar to some of the deadzone stuff. Not sure if its because they are proxying during play test or if they will share components.

We could see what group bundles they do. They normally do a sweet spot of $150 bucks that gets you nearly everything then multiples of this @ reduced price. Depending on what people want this may be good or what Mantic are very good @ is selling 'extras' so lets say a few ppl go in for the $150 & split some stuff if people want extra teams etcc they can buy them cheap as add ons (hence me having all my spare figures)

Sounds like a good idea as it should help everyone save a bit of money. It will be interesting to see the kickstarter launch, will they keep much back as secret stretch goals or will it all be known from the start.

i was reading on mantics page about kickstarter and i think they will hold some stuff back for stretch goals but it is a good idea to all go in together

Yep - they always have a limited release and then pile stuff in when we hit stretch goals which makes buying the pledges more attractive as more 'free' models are thrown in.
Then there will be lots of extras unlocked during the campaign they run a clever marketing/release schedule during KS which is fun to be along with.

I think that we should see who would be up for grouping togather for a kick start as this looks like it could be great and for more it will be great have a go at a kickstart as I always seem to find out about just after they end orn I run out of money.

Having looked at the board again I think that maybe the guys in the corner are reinforcements entering the game and have you seen they have turned the central scoring zone to make you have to go in deeper to the other halfs side to get the big points and there are even objects in the score zones but as they are small I am assuming you are not allowed to block the ability to score?
