The Bloc

The rival alliance of the Madness and the Reavers in the closing phase of Faction Wars.

Story so far

With Phase Three two hours out, the Bloc consists of The Madness in spots 7 and 8 and The Reavers in spot 9. It opposes The Good Guys Alliance of The Princess Posse and Team Retribution, while The Bone Clan and The Dream remain unaffiliated.

The Reavers are currently at odds with The Skull Empire and the Madness is reportedly skirmishing with the Dream, though Carl believes these fights are a diversion and expects the whole board to converge on the crawlers once Open Hostilities begins.
