Over the weekend there was a “virtual con” on a boardgaming Facebook group that I belong to to to replace the void left by no UKGE this year (for the obvious reasons).

As part of that “virtual con” various publishers and stores ran competitions or promotions for the duration. Osprey Games publisher of Wildlands (and it’s expansions) plus the Judge Dredd themed version ran a competition to celebrate the release of the Dark Judges expansion for the Judge Dredd version. To enter all you had to do was leave a comment (which I did) and then a winner would be chosen at random.

This morning in the spare five minutes I had between finishing the weekly shop at our local Morrison’s and going into the B&M next door that opened its doors at 9am, I checked my email.

Strange a person I had never heard off wanted to connect on Messenger. I looked in the Facebook app and it was showing that the person had responded to a comment I had made. Curious. What had I said that the person would want to message me directly?

I looked at the Facebook post and my comment. Oh! I had won!

So you can guess I was quickly onto Messenger and replying to the guy with my address and thanking them.

Pretty excited about winning this. It’s something I would have eventually bought.

I own the original Wildlands and Undead expansion (which I did enjoy playing). I’d decided to hold out on getting the map pack and the adventurers expansion because I didn’t want to invest in the original knowing that the Judge Dredd one was being released. And at the time it was unclear if the two would be compatible. And if I had to choose I’m team JD every time.

After Judge Dredd Helter Skelter was released it wasn’t long before a pdf was released that allowed you to combine the two versions (You can pick up the official rules that allow you to use the original Wildlands with Helter Skelter HERE.)

Now with the new expansion the Dark Judges are added to the game along with solo rules.

As you can imagine I’m pretty excited about winning the game and expansion. Which may be here before the weekend. So keep an eye out for pictures of a happy me at the end of the week.
