Here is what GW’s rep. Andre said on camera about Lost Patrol:
Lost Patrol $60
Ships in June 2016
30 minute playtime
A newly designed game, not simply a reprint of the original 2000 game.
Included minis:
- Astartes Scouts x5 (RED plastic)
- Genestealers x12 (dark plastic)
- “Infestations” x6
- Map Tiles x30
Map hex-tiles are shuffled and placed down around the Space Marine Scouts based on thier line of sight. The map will have a “fog of war” quality. As the Scouts move along, the map will appear in front of them, and disappear behind them, possibly changing if they double back.
The goal is for even a single Scout to reach their Drop Pod – resulting in a marine victory.
Opponents will be both the Genestealers and the map itself.
Last week news of new boardgame “Lost Patrol” arrived with a bang, confirmed by GW at GAMA 2016.
“Games Workshop is releasing a new version of the 2000 classic Lost Patrol with updated components and rules. It arrives in stores on June 17.
The new game is a two-player game with one side taking on the roles of Space Marine Scouts hunted by the other player controlling a group of fearsome alien Genestealers. Played out on a dynamic, tile-based board, the squad of Marines must navigate a jungle that moves and changes as they travel the board. The game has updated rules from the original 2000 game and is just as fast-paced as the original, playing in about 30 minutes.”
