We’ve made a couple of changes to the prototype that we’d like your opinion on. First: the door. The one you’ve seen is a narrow submarine like door, ideal for claustraphobic setups. However you can’t stand in the doorway, just either side. We’ve made a slightly wider version where your figures can actually stand in the doorway. Q. which do you prefer?
You can casually stand in the new doorway making claustrophobic people nervous…
Or do you prefer the narrower doorways which you stand either side of?
Secondly, we’ve redesigned the railings. The current ones are knocked too easily and may be a nuisance during gameplay. We’ve made a tougher set that are much sturdier. We may also add a back that clips on to give your figures more cover.
New railings: all tough and rugged like Battle Systems at the gym.
The old railings are cool but fall off from even the smallest nuclear explosion.
Spindly railings replaced with kick-bottom railings. Ideal for Block Wars, Dredd fans.

I like the wide doors and the new railings.
Cheers, Roger.
Looks very nice. 15mm variant is out of the question, I guess 😦 . Well, 28mm is ok for me too 😀
Not this year, Thomasz but we do have our beady eyes set on 15mm in the future 🙂
New designs in both cases are far better
Thanks Graham, appreciate the feedback 🙂
I agree. I like the new doorways and railings
Most claustrophobic space hallway games dont have space to stand in the doorway. I like the sturdier railings however.
I like the submarine doors myself but we thought the larger doorways would be easier to game with.
I think the new doors will be easier to play with especially if you are using a grid based movement system. With the old ones it was going to cause confusion as to whether you counted the squares you couldn’t stand in.
Colin here,
The doors indeed are better for gaming now and not only are they wider, but they are moved to the left (or right depending on your point of view) so they line up with a run of squares. Due to the way the bases of each wall section clip together it was not possible to make a wider door, however with some pushing from a design point of view we found a way by making the door itself become part of the clip system. zzzzzzzz, I’m boring myself now so I’ll stop. :o)
Do you guys have doors that are 50mm in size as well, for our heavily armored exterminators?
Yep, all the doors come with doors included.
Sorry, I meant double wide doorways.
Ah, got you. We have large hangar doorways, we could make some heavy shield doors to go with them, probably as a stretch goal on the Kickstarter.
Awesome, thanks. I’m planning on using this stuff for an awesome zone mortalis board and this is good news.
the new changes look great! I’m quite eagerly awaiting price point info and kickstarter go live!
Hi Richard,
Thanks for the feedback. We too are waiting on price point, we have the manufacturers working on the tooling costs now after a few revisions.
To narrow it down for you it will be more than 1p and less than £1 million. ;o)
Glad you like the changes, it seems to be most people’s views.
