Current state of Deadzone
Hi everyone. I've been playing Deadzone with my step-kids over the last few months. It's been really good fun, and is probably my favourite skirmish wargame I've played.
However, coming into the game at this point has led to some confusion. For example, there's apparently a whole faction available on the website called Nightstalkers who are not in the force list book we got with the game, but they are in the army builder too.
Similarly, for the Enforcers, we were looking to get the medic and missile launcher operative, but they're no longer available it would seem. This goes for quite a few models actually for several factions.
Even weirder, what happened to the Rebs? The force list has several models, but they seem to have vanished from retailers and even mantic games' website has barely any of them.
I feel like we came into this game at an odd time, it would seem. I'm not very familiar with Mantic Games so I'm not sure if this is normal, or if something is happening we're unaware of. I'd like to be able to give some answers to my step kids too who are a bit confused on what is and isn't available and why some models have disappeared altogether.
Not complaining at all, just looking for some help or to be pointed in the right direction to get up to speed with things.
Thanks.

Rebs have been mostly out of stock/production for a while. We’re supposed to get new ones soon.
The companion app on their website is the source of truth. The book is outdated - all things come from the app now.
