This weekend (Saturday 25th – Sunday 26th May) we were at the UK Games Expo 2013 in Birmingham. It was quite a large venue in the swanky Metropole and was packed out, especially on Saturday.
All quiet before the chaos begins.
It was a family crowd with an emphasis on independent board games and card games but still plenty of RPG and even some terrain such as Mantic‘s Deadzone and Warmill‘s rather nifty SF collection.
DLC layout looking good.
New line looking good as well.
We met a lot of nice people, made some important business type contacts and sold a good number of disks. It’s gratifying to know that our DLC range is still so popular although we were there to primarily whip up interest for our new line (and whip we did, a lot of Infinity players in particular got quite excited).
We sold the entire DLC catalogue on disk for a ludicrous £8 a pop (if you bought a disk but haven’t received a link for the Battle Bunker set please email us at info@battlesytems.co.uk).
Colin also got to show off a hush hush prototype he’s been working on which got a lot of approving noises. We were impressed with the event and will be back next year.

The Kickstarter will start July/August (depending on our manufacturer) and be available in the shops or to buy direct from us by November if all goes to plan 🙂

It was great to meet you guys at the UK Games Expo and very exciting to see what you’re going to be offering. I hope I’ll be able to back it as much I’d like to, as pre-printed card terrain is right up my street. Do you have the facility to do the same sort of work with foamcore, eventually, for a bit more sturdiness?

Hi Robey,
Thanks for the praise, :o).
We tried to do foam core and it looked nice, but actually it was less sturdy. Lighter for sure though. Lol.
After a few assembles the foam core starts to have depressions in it and also the clips become really loose. I’m sure when the 3D printing gets super cheap we will be printing ready made, pre-coloured walls. :oD
