So this weekend a few of us (Zog, Squig, robertjb001 and I) are heading to Nottingham for Mantic's Open day. I expect some sneak peeks, good fun and goodies. I'll throw up a review of sorts once we've returned. Anyone else heading up?

I've not updated what happened!
So We got there in good time, Karl had already arrived and was playing a demo game of Warpath and enjoying it! Me and Rob had a wander around to see what was about, during this time I met and had a chat with James Hewit (Mantic's community manager).
I found a room with a couple of guys from Hawk Wargames demoing Dropzone Commander. So I managed to get a demo game of that which was pretty much a full game (because I requested it). Was great fun and was good to see the game in action. I did lose as he got an objective off the table, but I did destroy all his tanks, however he destroyed all my dropships. The game lasted about an hour and a half and we did everything in a normal game!
During this game the Beasts of War guys turned up and all I managed to say to Warren was a surprised "Hi!". As he then greeted my opponent from Hawk who actually played against him in BoW's demo game video.
After that we had a little look round, with Zog doing some stunning networking. We then grabbed his Deadzone stock and headed home early afternoon.
Was a good day, especially that it was a lot more intimate than any of the GW days. Mainly because I saw and met these "celebrities", the smaller companies are clearly far more approachable.
