Editing Warpath (section)

==Current Status==

As of 2021, Warpath (the large-scale wargame) is receiving little support from Mantic Games. Despite a successful Kickstarter, the game never really took off. Models are available  on Mantic's online store and from some other retailers, but no supplements or new units have appeared for some time. 

However, the Warpath Universe is alive and well. Deadzone (the skirmish game in the same setting) is proving very popular and saw the release of its 3rd edition in October 2021 with many new releases planned over the next year. [[Firefight]], which sits somewhere between Deadzone and Warpath in offering 'platoon-level' combat, has undergone an extended open beta test in preparation for the current release from March 2022 and shows definite promise. Free beta rules and army lists can be downloaded from Mantic's website and Firefight Open Public Beta Playtest Group on Facebook.

Firefight seems to be doing well and even earned a [https://www.beastsofwar.com/featured/ontabletop-industry-awards-2022/ "best miniature wargame of 2022" from OnTableTop].
