Introduction to Events Week
23rd Jan 2017
Rob Burman
Heading out to shows or holding events here at Mantic HQ is definitely one of the best parts of the job. We’re able to get out there and meet the enthusiastic members of our community, which is a great way to directly answer any questions people might have, while also showcasing new releases too.
In the past we’ve attended the odd show here and there but for 2017 we’re really upping our game by attending more events in the UK and America than ever before. In just the first quarter of 2017 we’ll be taking the Mantic Fun Bus (otherwise known as Zak’s Mini) to four events, while Pat is heading to PAX South, PAX East and Las Vegas (gambling money is not included, Pat). And that’s just the beginning!
The Walking Dead: All Out War is going to be a big focus during our shows because we’re sure it’s going to be huge this year. Everyone that has tried the game so far absolutely loves it, so we want to make sure as many people as possible can have their gaming life changed forever by playing this awesome game. Trust us, once you’ve played it, you’ll agree with us.

We’ll also be launching Warpath in the spring too and getting out to events to show how smoothly this epic-scale sci-fi wargame plays is going to be key to its success. We’ve worked hard to make a sci-fi game that’s easy to learn, like Kings of War, and we can’t wait to get more of you playing that!
Then later in the year, we’ve got the Kings of War Summer Campaign coming up, which is a fantastic opportunity for the Kings of War Community to get together and take part in lots and lots (and lots) of battles.

We recently saw how incredibly successful the International Campaign Day was and we’re sure that even more people are going to get involved with the Summer Campaign. After all, this is YOUR chance to alter the fate of Mantica forever! If you haven’t taken a look already, check the progress of Zak, Dave and Rob as they prepare their new armies for the campaign.
This week on the blog, we’ll be going into more detail about the upcoming events. Pat will be focusing on North America, while Zak will talk about the Mantic Open Day in May (tickets on sale now, of course) and the Clash of Kings tournament in October. Finally, Rob will be here on Friday with some exciting Walking Dead: All Out War news.
Enjoy the week and we'll see you at a show soon.
