Most skirmish games are about firepower. Deadwake is about firepower and the slow collapse of your operatives' minds under the weight of everything the battlefield is doing to them.
The Deadwake Miniatures Combat Rules is a complete, stand-alone skirmish wargame set in the post-apocalyptic science-fiction universe of Deadwake: 96 pages of fully developed tactical rules, three faction rosters built around radically different combat philosophies, nine ready-to-run scenarios, a complete campaign system, and a force-building framework, all built around one core truth: the operative who loses their nerve first, loses the battle.
This is a game of small squads, hard choices, and a battlefield that fights everyone simultaneously.
Three Ways to Play
Play it as a pure tactical wargame, completely stand-alone with no RPG required. Play it as the combat-resolution layer of a full Deadwake narrative campaign, where the wounds your operatives take on the tabletop carry directly into the story sessions that follow. Or play it as a hybrid experience where narrative choices create the conditions for each skirmish, and the outcome of each battle rewrites the next chapter of your campaign. One book, three complete experiences, all using the same rules.
