Sneaky preview of DEAD MAN'S DOWN UNDER: http://www.greatescapegames.co.uk/media/wysiwyg/home-shortcuts/dead-mans-hand/dmh-down-under/DMH_Down_Under_sample_pages_small.pdf

Looking good.  I'm assuming you can use the campaign system from 'legend of Dead mans hand' along with this?

[Bugsda]

Strewth!    Looking forward to a Ned Kelly figure 

[von Lucky]

Is the overall title intentional?

...

Along with the pose of Mr Kelly?

Because I am outraged, outraged I tell youse.

[Lawful Evil]

I believe I'll be picking up all three of the Down Under gangs from my FLGS. Nice work. Any plans to expand the Down Under range in the future?

[Constable Bertrand]

Oh yes, thats cracking.        Just what my OW town needs. - Though I'm surprised the whole Kelly gang is outfitted to the hilt with armour. - I think those constables will be a smart addition, as they are rather generic enough to suit a few genres.

Cheers

yup

[axabrax]

And hopefully also use some of the other gangs like Outlaws and Desperados?

I assume the game also comes with enough historical background to fill those of us unacquainted in? Or should I just rent Ned Kelly? Any must have reads or DVDs otherwise for the setting?

Will be preordering the whole shebang by the way; I love DMH!

All the ned kelly movies are awful. From Jagger to Ledger they all did a crap job of it.

I thought Ledger was pretty good, the less said about Jagger the better 

I'll check out the other two, never seen either, cheers.

And there's a Wikipedia list:

It probably doesn't need to be stted, but I would avoid 'Lightning Jack' too. Never heard of it until today. 'The Tracker' is a little late period-wise but is a very good film.

[JArgo]

The film The Proposition is worth watching and fits the period perfectly.

Edit: just noticed that the new gang figures are 'inspired by' the film.

[Bugsda]

I don't suppose anybody remembers the series "Whiplash", a weekly must see when I was about five
