The next G.I. Joe: Battleground event is now live! While I love the artwork they chose, it’s interesting that they reference Franklin Talltree in the text, but the art is actually for the Sky Patrol version of the character, who is not Franklin Talltree. Hrmmm…
Cobra has been quietly abducting people with psychic potential, indoctrinating them with their venomous methodologies, empowering them with their psi-amplifiers, and controlling them with their neural disruptors. This burgeoning army of psions can change the very fabric of reality, but Cobra makes one fatal mistake—they abduct Tommy Talltree, the brother of Franklin Talltree, AKA Airborne. The Joes launch a world-wide search for their missing brethren, and Global Warfare erupts!
Can the rock-solid-but-conventional weaponry of the G.I. JOE Steel Brigade contend with brainwashed psychic soldiers? Is Airborne’s helicopter chaingun a match for Cesspool, the toxic CEO? Find out in “Mind Over Family Matters,” the exciting Global Warfare event launching today!
Please note that Global Warfare has changed!
* It is now a five-day event! As a result…
* The group schedule (for possible demotions and promotions) has changed! See the schedule below!
* The best event points (and the greatest challenges) will be found in all win-streak battles that are multiples of 3 (battle 3, 6, 9, 12, and so on)!
* Retreating from a map NO LONGER resets your win-streak to zero!

The past few days have brought some exciting news about the Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. Kickstarter from Boss Fight Studio, and everyone supporting it deserves a huge round of thanks!
A few milestones to talk about…
First of all, the latest stretch goal was reached early yesterday, and the first four “Blank Figures” are now unlocked! This includes the very popular “Python Purple” female.
Also announced was that at 700 Backers, Boss Fight Studio will be adding the exciting Amazon Warrior to the Kickstarter. It stands at 604 backers right now, we need another 96. Spread the word! This Amazon will be available to purchase at $25 for anyone who has pledged at least $115, and will be included with the “All In” pledges as well! GO GO GO!
The next stretch goal to watch for stands at $150,000 which will give us King Leonidas himself as well as the “Black Racer” Gorgon Warrior. Two exciting Wave 3 figures! Let’s make this happen! With each Stretch Goal unlocked that only makes the $500 “All In” option an even better deal, so let’s unlock these stretch goals, boost some pledges, and capitalize on it!
