Post Apocalyptic Across The Dead Earth Is Now Available!
December 1, 2014 by brennon
Dead Earth Games have released their post-apocalyptic game of skirmishing warbands (with a neat background set in the UK rather than the US which is neat!) See what you think of the Rulebook and the various gangs including The Family, Red Claw Gang and The State...
First up we have the rulebook itself which exists as a printed version and as a PDF if you fancy going down the digital root. The rules are neat and you'll get some awesome background material on top of them. Don't forget the illustrations too which will help when making those great pieces of terrain for the game.
The idea is that you'll be building up a warband and gaining skills and more weaponry as time goes on. I love narrative games that focus in on developing your faction over time.
Above are (in order) The Family, The Red Claw Gang and The State which are all different takes on the post-apocalyptic faction. The Family look like a group of survivors from the likes of The Walking Dead whereas the Red Claw Gang are very much a 'road warrior' style warband that you'd see in all those old movies!
Last but not least are the more militaristic The State who comes with some awesome weaponry and an authority complex too I reckon.
Which do you think is for you?

I have these thanks to the KS and they are lovely. I would love to see a demo game for this on BoW!!
I also have this. I have had a few games to try out the rules and they play well. The real fun is going to be when you get a campaign going. It is also easy enough to create your own gangs.
Now to paint the models and probably a visit to a toy shop to buy some cars to litter the streets.
I backed this on Kickstarter. It shipped on time and the mini’s are awesome one piece figures. They paint up lovely and have a great unique style.
The game flows well and we have played a fair few games with upto 4 players and it handles it really well. The event card mechanic is a lot of funny. Right when you think you got someone on the back foot a play of a card can turn your plan around.
Those are rather nice.
I like that the cover’s post-apoc Birmingham (Selfridges, Park St car park, etc.).
All I can do is repeat what the other’s have already said, really glad I backed the season pass for this on Kickstarter, but I’ll be throwing my money at them once it runs it’s course. Great minis, some fun mechanics (The event cards for one) and very easy to pick up play.
