Across the Dead Earth is AVAILABLE NOW
« on: November 29, 2014, 12:00:36 PM »
“An excellent British game…even better than I expected” – Craig Cartmell, In Her Majesty’s Name.

Following successful funding on Kickstarter back in April, and delivery of out Kickstarter pledges in October, Across the Dead Earth is now available to order.

Three generations on from The Last War, create your own Gang of customisable and persistent character to battle for loot, glory and their very survival Across the Dead Earth.



Available to buy now are three Gangs, of 5 or 6 miniatures each, sculpted by Andrew May and manufactured in white metal. Also available is our full colour 87 page rulebook with fabulous post-apocalyptic illustrations. You can also buy a PDF of the rulebook for only £5 – refundable against any future purchase of the rulebook or one of our Starter Sets.



For more info see our website http://www.deadearth.co.uk or take a look at the excellent player run Facebook group

Is there a review available dealing with the game mechanics and the campaign system?


I read through some battle reports but that did not gave away anything about the rules. What I am most interested in is what kind of dice mechanic is used and how the miniatures are activated.

Hope someone can help me.  :)

There are a couple of reviews around but off the top of my head this article probably explained it best:http://wheresyourcave.wordpress.com

Quick answer:
Dice mechanic is 2d6 throughout. Miniatures are alternately activated 1 at a time, with the majority of figures able to carry out 2 actions, whilst leaders have 3, one of which they can attempt to give to another via an order.

I was a kickstarter backer and I must say I was very impressed by the finished product.  The rulebook is great, well put together and easy to follow. The minis are very nice as well.

Great to see this sort of game set somewhere other than America as well! Makes it feel a little bit different  (although the expansion takes action over the pond)

"Sorry, we don't ship to Hungary"

So much for that, than...

My apologies for that. We do ship to Hungary. Hopefully the problem is now fixed and your order should be accepted if you put it through again.

If anyone has any problems with the store or receiving similar messages, please contact me at info@deadearth.co.uk and we will take the order manually!

Thanks and apologies again.

Thanks for looking into the matter, will try to order it.

EDIT: According to our friends at Paypal, this'll have to wait until the new year, if you know what I mean :)
