Limited Edition DreadBall Pitch Azure Primalball VIII!
June 14, 2014 by stvitusdancern
Mantic Games has a new limited edition pitch for the awesome game DreadBall. This is a limited edition set that is now up for pre-order and according to the website will be available in limited quantities.
This special edition set includes an exclusive Azure Forest Pitch, Azure Forest League Pack and A'teo "The Savage" Adyssi MVP, plus a foil-printed box cover. So for anyone looking to expand their Dreadball league and stadium pitches, this can be a nice addition.
Not only do you get the Azure special edition pitch but you also get the Ultimate set for some fun and exciting multi-player action. This could be a good way for you and your mates to get together and form a league and play a season!
For myself I picked up the DreadBall Deluxe set at Adepticon and I really have enjoyed playing a quick match here and there. The thought of grabbing a bundle such as this to expand our collection and gives us the opportunity to form a league with other friends and family, look out here comes some Sunday afternoon DreadBall!
Will you be putting a league together too?

Would have liked an option just to get the board, as I’ve already got everything else 😉
You can get it here:

However if you’re like me and in the States, the cost to ship and such is prohibitive.
Keep in mind the pitch that comes with the edition above is not, I believe, a mouse mat, but a board like the base pitch you get in the original box set. The one from ff-fields is mouse mat material.
I too would just like the board as I have everything else… just waiting on my insane DBX KS stuff to start arriving to add to the mountain (I blame Warren and James M Hewitt for that as well).
This set is perfect for me. Dreadball has been on my wishlist for a while. And the mutiplayer version sounds like great fun to introduce to a few friends.
Didn’t they say that the original Azure Forest book/cards/mini were Limited Edition in the first place?
Seems like Mantic isn’t taking the idea of a “limited edition” very serious.
I don’t remember it being Ltd Ed. I’d have been less interested if it were.
Ltd Ed models are (IMO) one level of irritating but Ltd Ed rules?
It’s still on Mantic’s blog
————-
All of these rules are contained in a full-colour 34-page booklet, along with the cards, A’Teo miniature and the Azure Forest trophy, and is available to pre-order from the Mantic webstore. This is a limited edition release, as we’re only doing a single 3000-copy print run of the book.

But apparently Mantic Games doesn’t believe their customers to be smart enough to remember something from 3 months ago.
Appalling
Well in my case they’re right then.
The rules were supposedly going to eventually be available electronically once the limited print run was gone. They contain an update to cheerleaders that actually makes them worth taking!
Yes. And the A’Tea miniature was supposedly only available with Mantic points after the initial Azure Forest run.
Frankly, both of these were already cop-outs from the idea of a “limited edition”, and now they’ve broken both of these on top?
Why don’t they just release stuff without misleading “limited edition” stuff printed on it, if they don’t intend to keep their word?
Azure Forest would’ve been great as a “general”, non-limited release. But when they decided to write “limited” all over, they should honour that.
I just started watching the Dreadball Academy series a few days ago and am eager to get into the game.
I just have a couple of questions about the LIMITED EDITION DREADBALL: AZURE FOREST http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/pre-order/dreadball/product/limited-edition-dreadball-azure-forest.html
1. Will this be available at retail stores in the USA?
2. Will the pitch be a nice rubber mat like the one in Deadzone?
3. Is it a good value for a beginner? (I’m guessing yes on this one)
