300lvl is pretty close to everything, it obviously doesn't have the backer car at the moment as that hasn't quite landed. Lemme see if I can spot anything.
It won't have the dead bodies we just unlocked, at least, it doesn't have them yet. They've been throwing a lot at the main pledge levels, but the wording of the original dead bodies stretch goal had them at $5.
And it doesn't look like they include the intact scenery in AA either, as far as I can tell.
Oh right here we go:
Dreadball team-$20 AI solo/co-op deck-$5 deadzone martian faction deck-$5 deadzone human faction deck-$5 dead bodies-$5 crashed/flying car made by mantic (available after we hit 2540 backers I think) -$5
Obviously the AW bits including the suave new car kits
That's all of the core add ons that I can think of, obviously I left the pledge boosters alone.
On another note, has anyone noticed that they added a light bar to the truck out of nowhere? Did that get mentioned? Cause its cool

I'm back in. Managed to get the $140 pledge level I ditched back before the Tiger Corps deadline expired as well. No maliciousness / "griefing" intended, I've just been very back and forth on this one.
I don't have much interest in the Mars Attacks I.P., but the more this campaign includes Deadzone items, the better it gets for me. I don't need any more terrain after Deadzone survey #1, but if they throw in the Deadzone mat deals (3 for $50 or whatever it was), my fate is sealed. Add anything else DZ on top of that and I'll probably go from being a small time to a big time bidder on this campaign.
A KS campaign that was basically peripheral to my interests could become a smorgasbord of Deadzone and Deadzone-compatible goodness. Well worth watching, this one.

Are all the card decks and such included? Wasn't there something about Warpath or DeadZone rules? And there's also a DreadBall team, right? (I've really only started properly paying attention here in the last day or two, and only became potentially interested in the actual game/box/deals overnight).

@Azazelx - General game cards and collectible trading cards are in bundle deals. Right now the card decks for solo / a.i. / Deadzone are only available at $5 (credit applicable) each.

I'm looking at doing a $1 pledge level and adding on some of the options, specifically the terrain by Antenociti's Workshop. I'm mostly looking at the Heroes of Greenville bundle, the wrecked vehicles, and the Sidewalk Slaughter. Still not certain on the Waste Disposal yet, as Reaper will have similar items in Bones this time next year.
I'm with Azazelx, that if Mantic could have drawn in some Zombicide crossover stuff earlier, it would have really helped spike the project near its end.
So that'd be $75, and some work to de-Martian some of the heroes for modern day Zpoc stuff, as well as Zombicide.

Subject: Mantic Mars Attacks Kickstarter - <52 hrs left! Free Stompy Robot and HB rulebook added.
scarletsquig wrote: Got about +$15k and +50 backers in the last few hours, this thing has turned around very nicely since the last update, all of the lost ground over the last week is being wiped in an evening.
Prodos taketh away and Prodos giveth back due to bungling incompetence?
I'm glad Mars Attacks is doing well. Some of my friends are huge fans, so I will probably be buying Martians for them to paint up and use in Monopoly.
Kudos to Mantic for turning this around, the new bundles are clearly what was needed! If this had been a certain other company they'd have just put prices up to cover falling sales.
So I finally got to sit down and do the math on the new bundles as I'm an unusual case as I really just want Martians. I'm currently in for 4 * 140 early birds plus a bit extra. I worked out that I'm better off having 4 lots of the the old credit system, than new Invaders bundle, or buying one game with credit and a bunch of separate bits, or switching to two lots of the new $300 bundle. I miss out on the Regent and the Flag Bearer but thems the breaks.
It ships August 2014 Barnacle so it's a ways off. The Battle Systems kickstarter what you're referring to? I'm going in for that too... 2x-4x strongholds, not sure yet. It's glorious terrain ; )
TL;DR: Yay $500K! Working hard, free zombie martian, 4 zombie apocalypse scenarios, paid add-on wrecked car, next up the below pictured heavy weapons science trooper.
What a night. Thank you all so much for helping us charge headlong until the finish.
Over night we locked in the dead figures – they are a mix of Martian and Human dead figures for $5 (3 figures) and are a core add-on – and we also broke through the $500,000. What an achievement – thank you for your support!
Breaking $500,000 means that we will sculpt a Zombie Martian and add him free to pledges of The Invaders Arrive and up (including Early Birds). Some of you have asked to be able to purchase him individually, and we’ll be back later with details on that.
In addition, everyone will get 4 Kickstarter Exclusive Zombie Apocalypse Scenarios, which we will also print in the Collectors’ Edition Hardback Rulebook available as a Core Add-on for $30 - and free in pledges of $200 and up!
If you want to give the scenarios a go and haven’t got any zombies, we’ve put together a nice package where you can get some of the multi-part Kings of War miniatures if you want too:
BRAINSSSS!!!
In addition, we also broke our backer goal, funding the Wrecked Car Piece.
This is now available as a Core Add-on for $5 - which you can get by raising your pledge - or include in your pledge by using a little of your credit!
Next up: $505,000 – Science Division Heavy Weapon
The technician was listing technical specifications, ignoring Tor’s impatient glare and clenched fists. Oh, if only he could get away with vaporising the insolent worm… such an act would be tantamount to treason, of course, and on balance Tor would rather grit his teeth and suffer through the display than jeopardize his career.
Finally, the preamble came to an end, and the technician stepped back, gesturing with a showman’s flourish at the device that had arrived with him. It was an agglomeration of tubes and pipes, all feeding into a bulky power unit. One of his underlings stepped forward, goading an earth animal – one of the sturdy, horned creatures – ahead of him. It stared stupidly ahead, oblivious to what was about to happen to it, and Tor could not help drawing a connection to the rest of this damnable planet’s population. The engineer turned his attention to the device, prodding at the switched and dials until it thrummed with energy. He graced Tor with a cold stare and squeezed the trigger…
We’ve already unlocked the Unit Commander, so how about adding a little more pain to the Science Division Infantry Unit with this little beauty…
This is an experimental Heavy Weapon for the Science Division Infantry and, if we hit this stretch goal, we will upgrade one of the figures in every Science Division Infantry Squad to have this awesome special weapon! As an experimental weapon, we’d be very interested to hear what effects you think it should have – should it be explosive? Should it have a high rate of fire? Let us know in the comments!
We’ll be back in a bit with more stretches and a new backer goal – can’t wait to see where today takes us.
I'm with Azazelx, that if Mantic could have drawn in some Zombicide crossover stuff earlier, it would have really helped spike the project near its end.
I suspect they would have had if they could have. Kudos to CMON.
$500K achieved yaaay!
It ships August 2014 Barnacle so it's a ways off.
they're aiming for july which is awesome, august is just ocntingency I think.

I'm not really interested in Mars Attack!, but that Deadzone stuff is pretty cool :3.
Probably not if you buy it through the MAKS. I doubt they can afford to make multiple shipments... Unless that's the only thing you're buying.
Even if it was the only thing you are buying I would count on it shipping with the MA stuff unless you make arrangements otherwise. I suspect Mantic isn't going to scour through what each order is for to see if any are just DZ terrain, AND I suspect the survey won't be out and done before December is over in any case.
Every time a terrorist dies a Paratrooper gets his wings.
Guys, Mantic has confirmed in the comments section that you can pledge for ANY Deadzone battlezone you want, not just core worlds. Ruins, Landing Pad, etc, are all open season.
This effectively means, if you're waiting to pledge for more Deadzone battlezones on the 2nd survey, you may want to consider doing it now and getting Mars Attacks pledge rewards thrown into the bargain!
Dakkadakka: Bringing wargamers together, one smile at a time.™
$505K now too, so that's the next stretch goal unlocked the above pictured martian with a big gun ; )
Nice RiTides, they're a big reason why I upped to the $300 ; p 1 wasn't enough, 3 looks juuuust right! Yeah Wily, I love hardback rulebooks, I swear the free collectors rulebook at ~$800 pledge in Deadzone is going to be my favourite part of that KS, and I *really* like everything else about that KS ; p Ahh yeah Black Nexus, I do recall them saying that was a worst case scenario shipping date now that you mention it.
The Science Division Heavy Weapon upgrade is now locked in - adding some serious firepower to the proceedings and upgrading one of your figures to this most awesome of new sculpts!
We’ve been very Martian-centric over the last couple of stretches, so let’s give the hapless humans some support…
NEW! $515,000 – Novas Vira Sonic Disruptor
The Silverback rocked on its suspension as it hit another pothole, and Deke grabbed one of the metal struts to steady himself. Although the device had been bolted onto the flatbed in a hurry, it was secure enough to take his weight, even as the truck sped through the blasted streets of downtown Greenville. Ahead of them, skimming low over the burnt-out buildings and car wrecks, the saucer was getting away.
“Now or never, pal,” Deke shouted. For a moment he thought the Astro Mata technician hadn’t heard him, too intent on tinkering with the thick cables connecting the control box to the oversized parabolic array, but then Regan nodded, muttered a prayer under his breath and threw a switch.
The effect was like nothing the ageing veteran had seen in all his time in the service, or the years since. The dish buzzed with a thrumming bass note, followed by a crunching pop that Deke felt deep in his stomach. From the corner of his eye he saw the two troopers escorting the truck flinch, but that wasn’t what he was watching. Ahead of them the saucer suddenly reeled like a prize-fighter taking a punch, spinning off-kilter and colliding with the part-collapsed frontage of an apartment block. For a moment it looked as though it was going to recover, but Regan pulsed the Disruptor a second time and the craft flipped fully end-over-end. It was too far away to be sure, but Deke thought he saw the pilot thrown against the glass canopy, and he couldn’t hold back a grin.
As the saucer impacted with the ground, the occupants of the Silverback let out an almighty cheer. For the first time, they had the Martians on the run. The tide was beginning to turn!
The Novas Sonic Disruptor is a freestanding support weapon that can be attached to squads of Novas Vira Infantry as a weapons emplacement, or mounted on a Patriot Truck.
If we hit this goal, we’ll produce the Novas Vira Sonic Disruptor and make it available: - As a core add-on for $5 - Free in the 1-click Alien Abduction package - Free in the Apocalypse Bundle, which can included in a pledge of The Invaders Arrive and up if you are building your own using credit.
Pretty nifty huh? But we're still done with the humans just yet... you might remember this one from some background we did a while back in the campaign!
NEW! $525,000 – Agent Natalya El
Natalya rolled into cover at the last moment, barely avoiding a blast of disintegration rifle fire. Griggs wasn’t so lucky. Well, she thought, as the Astro Mata trooper’s remains atomised, there goes the stealth option. Unbuckling the prototype Stealth Field Generator from around her waist, she tossed it aside and checked the mission clock. Less than four minutes before the device needed to be in position. Well, it wasn’t going to get there by itself. Three more shots streaked past as she drew her pistols. She took a deep breath. Her training kicked in, as did the cybernetic muscle-boosters that had been implanted when she joined November Team. She sprang from cover, twisting as she did to fire at her attackers, and began to sprint towards the objective.
Agent Natalya is one half of November Team, a specialist Astro Mata unit. The Astro Mata are a sub-faction within the Novas Vira, and believe in ending the Martian Invasion at all costs – even to the detriment of other humans. Natalya works as a Bio-organic technician under Director Quentin, and is an expert Arthropologist - a deadly mix when combined with her twin Repulsor Pistols and Astro Mata training!
If we hit this stretch goal, we’ll produce Agent Natalya – and will add her: - Free in the 1-click Will of Man, 1-click Invaders Arrive and 1-click $300 pledge - Free in Escalation, which can included in a pledge of Will of Man and up if you are building your own using credit. - Free in the Human Attack Force (which will be back on the home page later today!)
Have at it folks!
TL;DR both free in certain pledges/addons and available as paid addons.
