The Engineers Scout Ahead In Across The Dead Earth
January 28, 2015 by brennon
Dead Earth Games are adding to the range of survivors out there in the wastelands and ruined cities of Britain with the Engineers Forward Expedition Squad now up for pre-order on their webstore!
A cool looking box with plenty of big guns and characters too.

I backen the KS and have three squads but never been able to play. The rules are pretty cool. Not too complex with a nice Event card mechanic to spring surprises on your opponent mid-game. The standout thing about it though is it’s great gang creation and campaign rules. Evolving gangs have been one of my favourite things since I first played Necromunda and this system really captures a similar feel.
