Hello, you colleagues!
Help me please.
We try in Kyiv to play the game "Deadlands! The Great Rail Wars"
The rules that we have not complete. Say, where can I read the complete rules, or the latest edition.
Thanks!
R.G.

The 'latest' version is 'Savage Worlds: Showdown' which can be downloaded for free from the Pinnacle site. Here's a direct link.
http://www.peginc.com/Downloads/Showdown/Showdown.pdf

It's the rules for the game but doesn't have the specific creatures/characters etc of GRW. If you have the unit cards from GRW then you could just use the points and stats from those. The individual characters abilities might need thinking about though. Pinnacle are producing GRW scenario sets for it though. One is already out.

As for older versions of the rules, I believe they were talked about earlier in the thread but one of the others that still uses them will be able to help more.
So many projects..... so little time.......

Thank you so much!
For starters, I need to buy basic book rules, "the great Rail Wars Miniature Game".
Am I right?

Hi! I’m newbie here and looking for the Rail Wars as well. The majority of the Deadlands books I found easily over the net (among them part of the Rail Wars books - A Fist Full o' Ghost Rock, Highnoon, Raid on Roswell). Still I have problems with spotting 1-st edition. Do I have any possible ways to obtain it in electronic version (pls, don’t suggest Amazon or e-bay  ;)) . I have a lot of materials about different wargames and historical books devoted to Old West and ACW – so may be we could help each other?  ;) Use PM pls.

Thanks a lot for the rules, so next turn is mine – wait for the battle reports and photos! By the way, what miniatures do you use for this game? Personally I prefer Warmachine and Wyrd – there are bigger and more detailed than Foundry or Artizan + they have steampunk atmosphere.
