THE LAST WAR

The Great War, The World War, The War to End All Wars:
the only true name it has is The Last War, for now
there remain not enough people to fight another.

The War ended not with a bang, but a cough and a

splutter. The diseases that took hold spread far and
wide. Few survived the fever and the filth. With so few
humans left, those that dwelled in the night took up
the arms of man to fight over what remained.
These scattered beings hunt the trenches of The Last
War for scraps, salvage and weapons.

2
Beasts, humans, and all in between now hunt these deserted
battlefields. Soldiers who have not realised the war
has ended, demons of myth and nightmares, and the few
remaining citizens pick at what is left behind.

As if in response to the suffering man unleashed upon man,

a great Fog has taken the land. What dwells within the
swirling mists chills even the most hardened of veterans.

What comes after The Last War?

Only decay, death, and destitution.

Forbidden Psalm: The Last War is a
28mm miniatures agnostic game. You can use any miniatures
you already own, or build custom minis for this game.

Grab some dice, some miniatures, a tape measure,

a 2ft by 2ft table, and you are ready to play.

Measuring
Measurements are in inches and you can pre-measure.

Dice Rolls
Dice Rolls, abbreviated DR, are used to determine the
outcome of actions you take. When a number appears after the
abbreviation, it means you must roll at least that number to
succeed. Tests in Forbidden Psalm are generally DR12 on a
D20, meaning you must roll at least 12 to succeed with all
modifiers taken into account.

ModifIers
Stats, Feats, Flaws, and Weapons add modifiers to the
result of the die roll. Modifiers in this game stack.

The Last War is inspired by historic wars, but

is a fictional setting. The intent of The Last
War is not to make light of the horrors of
war, especially the horrors of World War 1 and
World War 2. As this is not a historical game,
historical accuracy is not required in how you
approach play. This is a game of toy soldiers
set in an apocalyptic world. As such, play
with whatever miniatures you have, paint them
however you want, and call them whatever you
want. Forbidden Psalm is a game for everyone.
Anyone who is prejudiced, bigoted, or who thinks
that abuse or hatred of others based on sex,
gender, ethnicity, or any other characteristic is
acceptable should find a different game to play.
This message should only offend someone with those
views, so if you are offended by this message,
THIS GAME IS NOT FOR YOU.

 Converting Forbidden Psalm to
THE Last War

All content from Forbidden Psalm and MÖRK BORG can be

used in Forbidden Psalm: The Last War thanks to this

handy conversion guide.

FP term : The Last War term

1 Gold = 1 Resource (R)

Warband = Crew
Scroll = Manuscript
Omen = Order
Monsters = Hostile
Treasure = Loot
Relic = Artefact

Costs of Items
Costs are in Resources (R).
To convert items from MÖRK BORG and supplements:
1 Resource = 10 silver, rounding up.

Manuscripts
Can be read to cast spells as per normal Forbidden Psalm
Rules (see page 26 for spellcasting rules).

6
Armor
To convert Armor from MÖRK BORG, take the average result
on the Armor Dice and round down. For example, light
Armor has D2 damage reduction in MÖRK BORG.
In Forbidden Psalm this translates to 1.

Bring over a warband from

Forbidden Psalm
Warbands from previous campaigns can be brought over
to The Last War. The world of MÖRK BORG is filled with
strange magic. Did your warband step into the swirling
portal at the end of ‘In the Footsteps of the Mad Wizard’ or
did they simple get lost in the Fog and wander into this
new, war ravaged realm?

When you bring over a warband into The Last War and
they become a crew you may:
• Delete all Equipment and rebuy new Equipment,
starting with 50R for your crew.
• Reroll Flaws and Feats using this book.
• Leave one member behind (did they get lost on the way?)
and replace them with a Special Trooper.

Injuries, Stats, and anything you choose to keep carry

forward and are fully playable in The Last War.

 CREATE A CREW OF SCAVENGERS
To explore the ruins of The Last War you
need a crew of scavengers, consisting of five
miniatures. Follow these steps:

1. Select five models to use.

2. Assign each model a name.
3. Select a Special Trooper.
4. Allocate Stats.
5. Roll a Flaw for each model.
6. Roll a Feat for each model.
7. Spend your starting 50 Resources on
Equipment.

 In addition to the previously listed Stats,
some Weapons (as indicated by */**/***/****)
have additional effects listed below.
*Flare Pistol
Instead of being used as a Weapon, can be fired into the air.
This provides light for the whole battlefield for 5 rounds. No
roll is required to fire. However, there is a small chance an
artillery crew mistakes this flare for a signal. Roll a D10.
On a 1 all models must pass an Agility test or take D6 damage.

**Flamethrower
Requires a Fuel Tank to use. This must be replaced after 3 uses,
and takes 1 action to replace.

Flamethrowers are as deadly to those carrying them as being

targeted by them. A unit wielding one may attack multiple
models per turn. Models can make an attack against all models
within 6 inches of them instead of just one. This consumes all
fuel left in the Fuel Tank, and the Tank must be replaced before
the Flamethrower can be used again.

If a model carrying a Flamethrower is Critically hit, instead

of rolling damage, the Tank explodes and deals 8 damage to all
models within 3 inches, including the carrier.

***Bayonet
Can be attached to a rifle. When attached, the Bayonet gains Reach.
However, using the Rifle with the Bayonet results in a -3 penalty to
any shooting attack with the Rifle. It takes an action to attach or take
off the Bayonet. Models can start Scenario with the Bayonet attached.

****Entrenching Tool
Can be used to dig a hole in the ground. Holes provide
cover. Digging a hole takes an action. When digging roll a
D4. On a result of a 1 or 2 nothing happens, on a 3 you find
a random treasure, and on a 4 a random corpse. The corpse
startles the digger, and they must make a Morale test.

Each stack of Ammo takes up 1 Equipment Slot.

21
 ARMOR
During the war, many attempts
were made to develop a
body armor that protected
without restricting movement
or vision. None succeeded.
Soldiers pillaged castles for
medieval armor and weapons.
Among the scavengers of the
war-torn hellscape, pilfered
armor sits alongside these
failed experiments as some
of the most sought after
treasures of the ages.

 STATES AND PROPERTIES
AF x - {Automatic Fire} When using Weapon, roll x dice
instead of one and take best result (you still only roll
damage once, even if multiple dice are a success). X equals
the number indicated after AF, e.g., AF3 means roll 3 dice
and take the best result. However, if you roll a 1 you also
Fumble. This means you may Fumble and score a successful hit.
AP - Ignores all Armor.
Bleeding - 1 damage per activation until healed
(ignores Armor).
Blinded - Model cannot make ranged attacks and suffers
-3 to all attacks.
Bulky - Models need at least +3 Strength to use Weapon or
Item. Models with lower Strength suffer a -6 to rolls using
that Weapon or Equipment.
Burn - Targeted models make a Toughness test. On
failure they are set on fire and take 1 damage each time they
activate. Can use an action to put out fire and remove Burn.
Called Shot - Before rolling to hit, you may,
instead of using the Grenade as normal, elect to try a Called
Shot. Select a number from 1-20 aloud and then roll a D20.
If you roll the chosen number, you get the Grenade into the
target’s mouth, exploding them from within and killing them
instantly. If you do not roll the correct number, the Grenade
is wasted.
Cruel - Always deals at least 1 damage regardless of
Armor.
Dazed - Must make a Presence test to activate. On failure
the model can only move, on success model is no longer Dazed.
Diseased* - Model suffers -3 to all tests until cured.
Explode - on Fumble, Weapon deals max damage to user
and is destroyed.
Gas - Models must make a Toughness test whenever they
activate in or enter Gas. On failure they are Poisoned. Any
model that ends their turn in Gas takes 2 damage.
24
Jam. On a Fumble, instead of dropping this Weapon it Jams.
To fix a Jam, models may use an action to attempt to pass an
Agility test. If the test is Fumbled, the gun breaks and
becomes a Makeshift Weapon.
Poisoned* - Model can only move or take an action, but
not both until given antidote.
Ranged - Can be used to make an attack over distance up
to 12 inches.
Ranged x - Can be used to make an attack over distance
up to x inches (where x is indicated by a number such as 6
inches or 24 inches after the word Ranged).
Reach - Attack enemy 2” away without provoking attack back.
Reload - To reload, model gives up movement but then can
take an action.
Reload x - As above but can be fired a number of times
equal to the number after the word ‘Reload’ before needing to
be reloaded.
Smoke - Smoke obscures vision for purposes of line of
sight. Models most make a Toughness test whenever they activate
in or enter smoke. On a failure they take 1 damage.
Template - May target the ground. On successful the
template is placed by the active player. On failure the
Template Weapon is a dud and no template is placed. On a Fumble
the template is placed with the active model at its centre.
Template = 3 inch wide circle. At the end of each turn, roll a
D6. On a result of 5+, template is removed from the table.
Thrown - Weapon can be thrown without penalty, 6” range.
Two-Handed - Takes up two Equipment Slots.

Note* some Poisons and Diseases have additional

effects.

25
 Manuscripts (D20)
Manuscripts cannot be used while wearing Armor
with Armor Value above 2.

Any model can read a Manuscript.

Turn the page for how to read a Manuscript.

Sanctified Manuscripts
1. Burn the wicked: Target must make a Toughness
test or begin to Burn.
2. Silencing the dogs of war: Target a Weapon
with the Jam Property. On a success, Weapon Jams.
3. Flap: Target must make a Presence test. On failure
they flee the battlefield as per Morale rules.
4. ZIGZAG: Target is treated as -3 to hit for all
ranged attacks (this stacks with other modifiers).
5. Command: Target gains an extra activation (can
only be used once per Scenario).
6. Let there be light: The Fog is pushed back from
the battlefield. All Ranged Weapons become
Ranged 24 for the next round of combat.
7. once more unto the breach: All models
within 3 inches of caster, once spell has been cast,
auto-pass Morale tests for rest of Scenario.
8. Chin Up: Grants 2HP to a target who has taken at
least 2 damage.
9. Mistaken Identity: Targets a dead model.
Model is removed from the table but is
considered to have survived the Scenario.
10. Artillery: Select a point on the battlefield.
Any model within 3 inches must make an Agility
test. On failure they take D10 damage. If caster

If you ever Fumble when reading, you immediately

roll a d20 on the Calamity table, adding any
incurred Tragedies to your die result, to a
maximum of 20.

Spells have a maximum range of 12 inches.

Calamities last the duration of the Scenario

unless otherwise stated.

You cannot cast spells while in close combat.

 RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
Setup
1. Pick a Scenario (pg. 68).
2. Set up the table (pg. 64).
3. Determine Weather and Conditions (pg. 66).
4. Deploy models as per Scenario.
5. Determine Initiative (pg. 34).

single model.
3. Activate Hostiles, if any in play.
4. End game round.

CRIT ICAL
32
Activating a Model
When you select a model to activate it can perform
a movement and then an action. Each model gets a
single activation per round. If a model wishes to
move, it must move before it performs an action. If
it has performed an action its activation ends.

If a Feat, Condition, or other rule triggers when a

model is activated, you must trigger the effect at
the start of the activation before you move.

Actions
• Make a ranged attack.
• Make a melee attack.
• Use a piece of Equipment or a Feat.
• Use a Manuscript to cast a spell (and likely die).
• Pick up and/or drop any number of Items off the
ground or off of dead/Downed models within 1 inch
of you.
• Drag a Downed model within 1 inch of you.
• Interact with Loot or Scenario Items within 1 inch
of you.
• Make a second move as an action.

33
 Deployment
Before the first round of the game, roll Initiative
to determine who places a model first. Then
alternate between players, placing a model one at
a time until all models are placed. Models must be
placed within 6 inches of a board edge or based on
Scenario rules.

Initiative
Roll a D20. The highest number picks a model to
activate first.

Making Tests
All tests, unless specified
otherwise, are DR12. This means you roll
a D20, add the relevant modifiers and check the
result. If, with the modifiers, you reach at least a
12, you succeed.

34
Movement
Models can move a number of inches equal to
5+ their Agility.

Models can move in any direction or combination of

directions up to the maximum movement of the model.

Terrain smaller than 1 inch can be moved over without

suffering a movement penalty.

Terrain larger than 1 inch must be climbed. Models

have a climb speed of 1/2 their movement speed. Models
must end their movement on a flat surface.

Models can jump gaps 3 inches or less, but must pass

a DR12 Agility test to do so. On failure they fall and
take 1 damage per inch, rounded down. On a Fumble
they also gain a new Injury (pg. 95).

Models that move off of a board edge are treated as

survived and no longer participate in the Scenario.

35
 Combat
1. Check range.
2. Check Stat to apply based on Weapon.
3. Roll attacks.
4. Apply damage if hits are successful.

Close Combat
To perform a close combat attack, a model
must be within 1 inch of another model. Pick
one Weapon.
Make a DR12 test using the appropriate
modifier as determined by the Weapon (see
Weapons pg. 19).

However, close combat is risky, and your

opponent can also attack you back at the
same time, but at -3 to their roll. Both roll
to hit, and then roll for damage for any
successful hits achieved.

This -3 is negated in close combat if

another friendly model is also within 1
inch of the enemy attacker. On a Fumble you
drop your Weapon.

If the target of the attack survives and has

not activated, it can still activate that
round.

36
Ranged Attacks
Ranged Weapons have a maximum range of
12 inches.
To perform a ranged attack, a model must be
able to see at least part of the target model.
Models in close combat cannot make ranged
attacks. Models in close combat are -3 to hit
with Ranged Weapons.

If a model is in any way obscured, apply a -3

modifier to the to hit roll.
The model has Cover.

Roll a DR12 test, plus relevant modifiers,

to see if you hit, and mark 1 Ammo off of your
total Ammo. On success roll the Weapon’s
damage.

You can throw any Weapon up to 6 inches, but

you suffer a -3 to the roll and it is placed on
the ground next to your target, regardless of
if you hit or miss.

Ranged Weapons count as One-Handed

Makeshift Weapons in melee combat.

37
 Damage
When you successfully hit with a Weapon you roll the
Weapon’s damage dice.

Deduct the model’s Armor Value from the result.

Armor always reduces damage unless otherwise stated.

Reduce the wounded model’s HP by the damage amount

remaining.

Criticals always
cause max damage
Armor is still applied.

Leaving combat
Models within 1 inch of each other are in combat.

If a model wishes to leave combat, your opponent can

decide to stop you. Hostiles always try to stop you.
The opponent makes a DR12 Agility test.

On success, your model does not move. On failure your

model moves up to their movement value and then takes
no further action. If your Fumbles you can move and take
an action. On a Critical they make an attack against you.
Models can freely move off of a board edge to leave the
Scenario.

Dragging Models
Models can drag/drop Downed or dead models as an
action. Dragging models halves movement speed, and
models dragging can only take move actions. Models
require at least +1 Strength to drag another model.

 Mission Report (play example)

We join Frida the Lead-Swinger and Rulfo the Lucky

mid-Scenario. Their comrades have either died or left
the battlefield. Together they are facing off against two
Loyal Hostiles.

Frida activates first, and with her +3 Agility moves 8

inches (5 + Agility) until she can see a Loyal Hostile.
With her action she levels her Rifle and fires. First she
checks range. The Loyalist is 9 inches away, so within
the 12 inch range of her Rifle. Next she checks which
Stat to apply, in this case Presence, so she gets to add +1
to the roll. However, a wall partly blocks Frida’s line
of sight, inflicting a -3 penalty to the roll, for a total
modifier of -2. In order for her to hit successfully, she
has to roll at least a 14 on the die.

She rolls a D20, and scores a 17, modifed by -2, for a

result of 15, a HIT! Next she rolls for the Rifle’s damage
on a D8, with a result of 6. The Loyalist is wearing Hard
Leather Armor, which has AV 1, reducing the Damage to 5.
This is subtracted from their HP of 7, leaving them with
just 2HP remaining.

Rulfo now activates and moves just 4 inches as he has -1

Agility. As he has no Ranged Weapons and is not within
1 inch of an enemy, he decides to move again, moving
another 4 inches until he’s within 1 inch of the second
Loyalist.

With all player-controlled models having activated, now

the Hostiles activate. One is within 1 inch of Rulfo, and
has a Trench Club. It makes a DR12 test with no modifiers
applied, as Hostiles do not gain modifiers from Stats.
Since it is a melee attack, Rulfo is able to attack back
at the same time, but as he is not the activating model he
suffers a -3 penalty to his roll.

40
Rulfo is equipped with an Entrenching Tool that uses
Strength. Adding Rulfo’s Strength modifier of +2 to
the roll and subtracting -3 as previously stated, he
makes his attack back, needing to hit a 13 on the die.
Rulfo rolls a 14, a decent hit, but the Loyalist rolls a
20, a Critical. Rulfo rolls his damage and scores 5 on
a D6, dealing 4 damage to the Loyalist since they are
wearing Hard Leather Armor. The Loyalist’s Critical
deals max Damage to Rulfo, Downing him.

The other Loyalist aims his gun at Frida, but rolls

just a 3 on his die, missing Frida.

We now enter the next turn. Frida, seeing that she is

the only one left, decides to flee the battlefield on
her move, but first she passes a Loot Marker, getting
within 1 inch of it. She makes a Loot, which is a DR10
Presence test. She has a +1 modifier for Presence,
so she only needs to roll a 9, which she easily does.
She then rolls for a random piece of Loot and scores
herself some Mouldy Biscuits. Happy with this, she
leaves before the Loyalists can reach her.

The Scenario comes to an end, and the player makes a

Death Save for Rulfo, as he was Downed. This is a DR6
Toughness test. With Rulfo’s -2 modifier, he needs to
roll at least an 8 on the die to survive. The player
rolls a 10! Rulfo lives, but needs to now roll for a new
Injury on page 95.

42
ORDERS
At the start of a Scenario,
players gain the following
six Orders each.

They can spend these once and only

once per Scenario, at any time,
including after a roll, for the
following effects.

Bring it Down: Deal maximum damage

with an attack.

Lucky: Reroll any dice, yours or someone

else’s.

Medic: Remove a Downed model from play,

which auto-passes its Death Save.

Close one: Cancel one Critical or

Fumble.

Resourceful: Reroll on the Loot table.

Training: Automatically pass one test, i.e.,

jumping, Morale, or combat.
43
 Hostiles
After all models have been activated by all
players, Hostiles are then activated. If there is
more than 1 Hostile to activate, randomise them
with a roll.

Follow these steps when activating a Hostile.

1. Check Hostile’s special rules.

2. Check to see if the Hostile can see any other model that is not
the same type as it. Hostiles can attack other Hostiles!
3. If it cannot, most Hostiles, unless specified, remain still and do
not activate.
4. If a Hostile can see another model that is not the same as itself,
it moves 2D6 inches towards that model, or, if the Hostile is
equipped with a Ranged Weapon, it moves D6 inches and takes a
shot, unless another model is already within 12 inches, in which
case it does not move before making a ranged attack.
5. If a Hostile can see more than a single model, it always goes
towards/targets the closer model. On a tie, roll a die to
determine which way it moves/who it targets.
6. If the Hostile makes it within 1 inch of a model not the same as
itself, it immediately attacks as per the combat rules. Randomise
if there is more than 1 model within 1 inch. If the Hostile has
a ranged attack and is not within 1 inch of a model, it makes a
ranged attack against the nearest viable target.

44
Hostiles make all tests at DR12 with no modifiers unless
specified. This includes if they are attacked or targeted
by any spells.

This is also the same for all abilities, unless otherwise

specified. Hostiles do not prioritise Downed models
unless otherwise stated.

Hostiles with only ranged attacks, if in close combat,

make unarmed attacks dealing D4 damage unless otherwise
stated.

Hostile Morale
If a Hostile is Critically hit it makes a Morale test.
Roll 2D6. If the result is greater than its Morale, it flees
the field, moving 2D6 inches per round until it leaves the
field or is killed. If a Hostile’s Morale is ‘-’ they ignore
Morale rules.

Hostile Profiles
• HP - Hostile’s Health. When it reaches 0HP it is dead.
• Morale - Morale value for Hostile.
• Attack - Denoted as a type, i.e., Claws, Slam, etc.,
followed by the damage it deals on a succesful hit.
• Armor - How much the Hostile reduces damage by.
• Special - Any special attacks or features.

Spawning Random Hostiles

When spawning a random Hostile, place them on the board
edge or elsewhere as instructed in the Scenario.

45
 MUD GHOUL

HP:8 Morale:8 Bite:D6 Armor:1

Special: Hidden in Filth: Mud Ghouls do not spawn like

normal Hostiles. When instructed to spawn a Mud Ghoul,
randomly determine a model on the board. The Mud Ghoul
appears next to them, crawling its way out of the muck.

Filthy: Any model successfully hit by a Mud Ghoul must make

a Toughness test. On failure they become Diseased.

Even in death, those slain in The Last War have found no

peace. Many of the bodies long buried in mud have come back
to life, seeking to feast on those few living that remain.

Art By @Waclaw Traier

46
 TRENCH MAGGOT
HP:20 Morale:12 Mandible:D6 Armor:0

Special: Disgusting: Models must first make a Presence

test to move within 2 inches of a Trench Maggot.
This test is not required if the Maggot moves within 2
inches of a model.

Tentacle Grab: If no model is

within 1 inch of a Trench Maggot,
the Trench Maggot grabs any and
all models within 3 inches
and drags them to within 1 inch
of them. After doing so, it
makes an unopposed attack
against any and all models
within 1 inch.

Slow: Moves only D6 inches

per round.

After the war, the filth and decay

of the battlefield gave birth to
many horrors.

But there are few quite as horrific

as the Trench Maggots, as large
as horses, bloated with the filth
and gore they have feasted on.

Art By Cor Rahman.

47
 GAS BUG
HP:6 Morale:6 Bite:D4 Armor:1

Special: Protective Gas: Whenever a Gas Bug is

hit but not killed, it releases a gas cloud (Gas
pg. 24). Gas Bugs are immune to the negative
effects of Gas and Smoke.

With so many gas shells fired in such a small area, it

is no surprise that nature made use of this new found
chemical abundance. Gas Bugs are accursed things born
of mankind’s brutality.

 TRENCH RAT
HP:4 Morale:1
Bite:1 Armor:0

Special: Swarm: At least

3 Rats spawn each time you
place a Trench Rat.

you can pick up the body to earn
1 Resource at the end of the
Scenario.
Art By Cor Rahman.

HAUNTED TANK
Art by Antonin Provost

HP:60 Morale:- 6-Pounder:2D10 Armor:6

Special: 6-Pounder: has a range of 20 inches.
Crush: When the Tank activates, all models within 1 inch of it must pass an
Agility test or take D8 damage.
Imposing: Tank can still fire 6-pounder even if in close combat. However,
does not target models within 1 inch.
Haunted Tank never makes melee attacks.

The evil of man has manifested in this machine of death.

49
 LIVING GAS CLOUD

HP:15 Morale:- Gas* Armor:0

Special: Insubstantial: Only takes damage

from Weapons with Burn (pg. 24).
Living Gas Clouds can be treated as Gas (pg.
24) for all purposes of avoiding the negative
effects of the creature, i.e., Gas Masks work to
avoid the negative effect of the cloud. Cannot
move over a model with an Anti-Gas Fan.

Drawn to Life: Living Gas Cloud moves over

nearest model and sits over them in a 3 inch
circle. Any model in this 3 inch circle is
treated as if in Gas. Any model in the Living
Gas Cloud suffer a -3 penalty to all tests.

Wandering Clouds of deadly gas move across

the torn battlefield, drawn to the heat of the
living, a Mockery of Life.

50
 VLKODLAK
HP:8 Morale:8 Claws:D6 Armor:2

Special: Pack Animals: Vlkodlaks travel in pairs.

Always deploy at least two Vlkodlaks.

Hard to Kill: Vlkodlak heal 1HP at the start of the

Hostile activation phase.

Blood Lust: When moving, if the model the

Vlkodlak is moving towards has taken any damage,
roll 3D6 for the Vlkodlak’s move.

Once hunted
during the great
witch trials, Vlkodlak now
hunt those few people that
remain. If you can hear the
Vlkolak howl you better hope
they have someone else’s scent.

Special: March of Death: a Thing from the Fog always

moves 8 inches towards the nearest model.

Heat Ray: Ranged Weapon

(12 inch range). Any model hit
and all carried Equipment is
reduced to ash by the Heat
Ray if the model drops to 0HP.

Mutating Tentacles: Any crew member

within 1 inch of a Thing from the Fog
must make a Presence test.
On a failure they roll on the
Mutations table (pg. 42), on a Fumble
they become The Pathetic (pg. 53).

Things from the Fog do not

attack models with blue skin.

Strange alien beings made of

metal walk out of the mist as they
call out ‘ulla ulla ulla ulla.’

Some blame these beings for the

fog itself, but no one who has
seen one has ever lived long
enough to find out.

52
 THE PATHETIC
HP:10 Morale:9 Slither:D4 Armor:1

Special: Pity It: models must pass a Presence test

to attack The Pathetic.
Slow: Moves just D6
inches per round.

Out of the fog come all manner of hideous beasts

and monsters that strike fear into the hearts
of all. However, not all that comes forth is so
frightening. Named The Pathetic, these tough but
slow creatures move across the ground on their
bellies, wheezing as they go. Don’t misjudge them
too much: these things can pack a punch.

 GHOST OF NO MAN S LAND ’
HP:6 Morale:4 Makeshift Weapon:D4 Armor:1

Special: Veiled: models are hard to see, -3 to hit with

ranged attacks.

Scavengers: Ghosts have 1 random piece of Equipment on them

that can be Looted (pg. 65).
They also each carry a Makeshift Weapon.

Cannibals: at the start of the Hostile activation phase,

if Ghosts are not within 1 inch of an enemy and there is a
Downed model within 12 inches, instead of moving towards
nearest target per Hostile activation rules, Ghosts move
towards Downed models. When within 1 inch of a Downed
model they begin to drag them off the table, moving D8
inches per round with the Downed model in tow. If they leave
the table with a Downed model, that model is now dead.

While the war raged on, there were myths of those

broken who lived out in the gas-filled wastes of
No Man’s Land. These Ghosts became horror stories
soldiers told each other at night while the artillery
shells landed all around them.

 LOYAL
HP:7 Morale:9 Attacks:* Armor:*

Special: Combat Roles: each member of the

Loyal comes with different Equipment
depending on their combat role. Randomly
determine 1 Weapon and 1 Armor per Loyal
deployed. Loyal never run out of Ammo.

Each Loyal also has a Gas Mask and 1 Resource.

Equipment, Weapons, and Armor (minus Ammo)

can be Looted (pg. 65) from the corpses of the
Loyal by any model within 1 inch of them.

Loyal Armor and attacks are based on the Equipment

rolled for them.

 NACHZEHRER

HP:12 Morale:9 Bite:D6 Armor:2

Special: Drink Blood: Nachzehrer gain D6HP every
time they cause damage with their Bite attack.

Stronger at Night: gains 5HP and their attacks

increase to D8 damage in Darkness.

Blood Frenzy: auto-passes Morale if currently

engaged with a model it has successfully bitten.

Those first few that died of the plague that

decimated humankind awoke as these hideous
creatures. Driven by a hunger for blood and flesh,
they are often mistaken for vampires.

56
 ANGEL OF MORTE
HP:25
Morale:-
Burning Presence:D10
Armor:-

Special: Burning Presence: all models

within 3 inches of the Angel at the end
of its movement take D10 damage.
Angels of Morte reduce all damage
taken by 5, regardless of other rules.
Angels of Morte make no attacks but
always move towards the nearest
model.

The myths say the Angel of

Morte appeared and held back a
numerically superior force during
a key battle of the war. The truth
is: the Angel cared for neither side
in the conflict.

ZEALOT OF WAR

HP:8 Morale:12 Trench Clubs:D6 Armor:2

Special: Gas Masks: immune to the effects of Gas and Smoke.

If a model is Downed by a Zealot, the Zealot immediately

steals 1 random Weapon from the model and adds it to a
shrine, if a shrine is within 6 inches. If no shrine is
within 6 inches, they move 1 inch away from the Downed
model and begin a new shrine of Items, placing the Item on
the ground.

The atrocities of war can break a mind in so many ways.

57
 HOUNDS OF
ANNWN
HP:7 Morale:10
Jaws:D6 Armor:2

Special: Death Howl:

any model Downed within
6 inches of a Hound is
instead killed outright.

The howling of these huge,

red-eared dogs foretells
death to anyone hearing it.

BARBED WIRE BEAST

HP:12 Morale:-
Barbed Wire:D8 Armor:0

Special: Vicious: any model damaged by a

Barbed Wire Beast begins to
Bleed (pg. 24).

Rusty: any model injured by a Barbed

Wire Beast must pass a Toughness test
or become Diseased (pg. 24).

Even the foul metal, used to hold attacks

at bay, has come alive to level pain on
humanity.

 The Last War
Scenarios are designed to be played over a maximum of
6 rounds unless stated otherwise.
At the end of round 6 your crew gets tired, will be dead,
or will flee back to their bunker.

Any Items left on the table at the end of round 6 are

considered lost if they are on a model that died or dies
as a result of a Death Save.

If you are playing on larger boards you may want to

increase the amount of rounds.

When The Last War ended, and humanity’s final days were numbered, a
universal truth remained: some people have nothing, while others
horde their wealth. If you want to eat more than rats, mud, or old
boot leather, you better accept that truth and perform the tasks
they have for you.

The Quartermaster
In life the Quartermaster queried over every bullet requisitioned for the
front lines, and nothing much has changed since the war ended. He is a
constant source of booze, bullets, and bandages, and will often give you
tasks that require heading out to places he himself will not journey.

The Man in Fort X

Not much is known about The Man in Fort X, other than he arrived here a
few weeks ago and quickly took over one of the heavily-defended forts
that once made up the western defences. He refuses to show much more than
an eye when you go and ask him for work. He pays well, and believes he
knows a way out of this misery, but you will need a tank to get through
the Fog. If you do as he asks, he will give you a broken down tank from
the courtyard. With some extra parts it could be what you need to get out
of this place.

Nurse Nightshade
Even in the darkest of days, someone must try and provide a light. Nurse
Nightshade will patch up your wounds. Getting in her good books might
just save your life.

Your Goal
Your crew struggles each day to survive in this hostile landscape. The
very air assaults your body day in and day out. There are whispers that
not the whole world was lost, and maybe if you could just get through the
damned Fog a better life may be found. How long have you been stuck in
this mud-caked realm? It’s impossible to tell, with the sun barely seen
through the deep Fog that suffocates the land. If the rumours are more
than just hopeless dreams, maybe it’s worth listening to The Man from
Fort X.

Over 12 Scenarios, your crew will collect parts for a tank to try and
escape this accursed place, and upgrade their bunker to make their
miserable lives more comfortable.

 Setting up a

BATTlefield
This game can be played on tables
of any size, but is recommended for
tables of 2ft by 2ft.

Terrain should be used to reduce lines

of sight.

Players each place a single piece of

terrain on the table.

After placing terrain, players roll

a D6, adding the current number of
terrain pieces placed. If the result
is 9 or more, stop adding terrain.
For example, when you have placed
6 pieces of terrain and then roll a
3 on the die,

STOP PLACING TERRAIN.

64
LOOT
When a model is within 1 inch of a Loot marker they
can search it by making a DR10 Presence test. On
failure the Loot Marker remains. On success, remove
the Loot Marker and roll on the table below. On a
Fumble they cut their hand on rusty nails and take 1
damage. This damage ignores Armor.

The model then, if they have Equipment Slots free, may

pick up that Item for free. If they do not have Slots
free, the Item is instead placed on the ground and can
be picked up by another model.
Coins do not take up Equipment Slots.

 1. Only the dead have seen the end of war
The Quartermaster raised an eyebrow when you asked him for
work in exchange for supplies. Thinking deeply, he scratched
his large chin. ‘There is one thing you can do to prove your
worth.’ He tells you of a cache of supplies he has been trying to
get his hands on for some time. However, a group of soldiers who
refuse to accept the war is over guard the area.

Goal
Bring back the supplies and earn the Quartermaster’s trust.

Reward
For each crate of supplies returned, gain 20 Resources. For
each slain Loyal, gain 10 Resources.

Setup and Loot

Players should take it in turns to place two supply crates at
least 6 inches onto the board. An additional crate is placed in
the center of the table. Players should place terrain as per the
terrain rules (pg. 64). When within 1 inch of a crate, a model
with a free Equipment Slot can pick it up as a free action.
Supply crates can also be Looted (pg. 65).

Deployment
Versus and Coop: players select a board edge based on
Initiative and place models within 3 inches of that board edge.

Solo Play: you may place models in either deployment area.

Threats
Each supply create is guarded by one Loyal (pg. 55). On round 3 a
random Hostile (pg. 59) is drawn to the sounds of battle.

Solo Play
Place three supply crates and three Loyal (pg. 55).

COOP Play
Instead of one central supply crate, place two supply crates in
the center, next to each other.

their uniforms have seen better days. You contemplate talking
to them, but you have heard the stories. The Loyal, they call
themselves. You will either be seen as a traitor or an enemy.

When the players arrive back at the Quartermaster

with supplies read:
The Quartermaster happily hands over your reward as he wastes
no time in opening the supply boxes. Digging in, you see the
Quartermaster discard food, bullets, mess tins and more,
until finally he holds up his prized loot: a single pair of
woolen socks.

 2. No, I Mean It. Find Her. Get Her Home
Nurse Nightshade contacts you in your bunker. One of her medics
has been wounded and needs aid. They were called out to help
scavengers who had fallen to a Loyalist’s sniper fire and have
not yet returned to the trench line. Bring them back and she
will reward you handsomely.

Goal
Bring the medic back to the trench line and kill the sniper.

Reward
The crew that kills the sniper gains 40 Resources and one
random Artefact.
The crew that rescues the medic gains 30 Resources and can
remove one Injury or Flaw from a single crew member.

Setup and Loot

Players should take it in turns to place two corpses at least
6 inches onto the board. In the center of the board place a medic.
As shown in the diagram, place a Loyal armed with a Sniper
Rifle and Plate Armor 3 inches onto the board. Players should
place terrain as per the terrain rules (pg. 64). The medic can be
dragged as per dragging rules (pg. 38). The corpses can be treated
as Loot Markers, but you auto-pass the Loot test (pg. 65).

Deployment
Versus and Coop: players select a deployment area based on
Initiative and place models in a 3 inch by 3 inch box.

Solo Play: you may place models in either deployment area.

Threats
Each corpse is being fed on by two Trench Rats. Two additional
Trench Rats are sniffing at the Downed medic. The Loyalist
sniper will always shoot at a random model within 15 inches
that it can see.

Solo Play
Place three corpses, and their are no Trench Rats attacking the
medic.

can see large, ugly rats showing a hungry interest in the
fallen medic.

When the players rescue the medic read:

Nurse Nightshade thanks you for rescuing their fallen medic
Pvt. Ryann, offering your party some free care as a reward.
Her healing is next to none, but her bedside manner leaves a
lot to be desired.

71
 3. Nuts and Bolts
The Quartermaster tells you of The Man in Fort X. Mad? Yes.
Useful? Also yes. Fort X was used as a garrison for tanks during
the war, and The Man in Fort X is offering Tank Components
for those who undertake tasks. Before he wastes them, he wants
crews to prove they are serious about wanting to use a tank to
escape this wretched place. One way you can do that is securing
your first Tank Component from the destroyed tank on Hill 33.
Covered in barbed wire and other dangers, this is no easy task.

Goal
Secure a Tank Component from Hill 33.

Reward
For every Tank Component you secure, gain 20 Resources and
one Tank Component (pg. 96).

Setup and Loot

On the center of the table place a destroyed tank. This can be
Looted (pg. 65) four times for Tank Components (pg. 97). Players
should place terrain as per the terrain rules (pg. 64). Also
place two Loot Markers each at least 6 inches onto the board
and 3 inches from other Markers.

Deployment
Versus and Coop: players select a board edge based on
Initiative and place models within 3 inches of that board edge.

Solo Play: you may place models in either deployment area.

Threats
There are four Barbed Wire Beasts (pg. 58) within 1 inch of the
tank.

Solo Play
Place two Barbed Wire Beasts.

COOP Play
There are six Barbed Wire Beasts.

When the players arrive read:

You lay eyes on the ruined husk of the tank, rusting on the
hill that was once furiously fought over. Barbed wire and
bodies litter the ground. As you draw closer you swear you
see the barbed wire move in the wind, but there is no wind.

When the players arrive back at the Man in the Fort

read:
Looking at what you have brought back, The Man speaks to you
through a murder hole in the door of the fort. ‘Hmmm, that’s
a good start to your tank. But you will need more than just
that scrap to make it out of here. Come back if you want to
find more parts.’

73
 4. Mission Possible
The Quartermaster has asked you to help them deal with an
annoyance. Many of their supply runs are turning up dead
thanks to an artillery gun somewhere out in the wastes. Seems
that they are raining down fire on the war-ravaged land. He
asks you to help him find the location of the artillery gun. He
believes the nearby trenches might have the answers he seeks.

Goal
Find the dossier with the artillery gun coordinates.

Reward
For finding the coordinates the crew gains 50 Resources.
For killing each Mud Ghoul the crew is awarded 10 Resources.

Setup and Loot

Each player places two document folders at least 6 inches onto
the board and at least 3 inches from another document folder.
Each folder is next to a corpse that can also be Looted (pg. 65).

Deployment
Versus and Coop: players select a board edge based on
Initiative and place models within 3 inches of that board edge.

Solo Play: you may place models in either deployment area.

Threats
Whenever a document folder is searched roll a D4. On 1 or 2 a
Mud Ghoul spawns next to the model searching the folder. On
round 2, at the start of the Hostile activation phase, a Trench
Maggot spawns in each Hostile spawn area.

Solo Play
Place three document folders.

COOP Play
Trench Maggots spawn on every board edge in round 2.

When the players reach for a dossier read:

The battlefield seems quiet, all too quiet. You approach the
long-dead bodies of officers still holding the information you
have come to collect. As you reach for the dossier in the
skeleton’s hands, an eye blinks in the mud next to you!

When the Trench Maggots appear read:

From out of the Fog of the battlefield, grotesque mockeries of
nature spill forth. Large maggots with tentacles that reach
for you approach. Grab the dossiers before they reach you.

75
 5. Means to wreak destruction
‘Look, it’s a good news/bad news situation. Good news: we know
where the artillery gun is, and even better, we have a gun of
our own we can use to take the blasted thing out. Bad news:
we’re out of Ammo, and the nearest cache is in No Man’s Land.’
- The Quartermaster.

Goal
Bring back Ammo to destroy the artillery gun.

Reward
For each Ammo brought back the crew gains 20 Resources.
Ammo brought back is kept by the crew.

Setup and Loot

Place a single ammo box as shown in the diagram, 3 inches from
the board edge. Players should take it in turns to place two
Pathetic (pg. 53). Players should also place two Loot Markers
each. The Pathetic and Loot Markers should be placed at least
3 inches from each other and 3 inches from any board edge.
Models can only leave escape via their own deployment area.

Deployment
Versus and Coop: players select a deployment area based on
Initiative and place models within 3 inches of that board edge.

Solo Play: you may place models in either deployment area.

Threats
Four Pathetic are on the table at the start of the Scenario.
On round 4, two Ghosts of No Man’s Land (pg. 54) appear in the
player deployment areas.

Solo Play
Place two Pathetic and only one Ghost appears.

COOP Play
As VS but three Ghosts appear on round 3.

Picking up Ammo
A model within 1 inch of the ammo box can pick up an artillery shell if
they have a free Equipment Slot, as a free action. If a model carrying
an artillery shell is ever Critically hit there is a 50% chance the
shell explodes, dealing D10 damage to them.

 6. To the guns.
You now have the coordinates and ammo; all you need to do is reach
the guns and fire. A straightforward enough thing to do, right?
Why can you hear howls on the wind?

Goal
Take the Ammo to the guns and take out the Hostile artillery.

Reward
For each shot you fire, the Quartermaster pays 20 Resources.
For each Hound of Annwn killed, Nurse Nightshade pays 10
Resources.
The crew that takes out the Hostile artillery also earns a random
Artefact (pg. 94). If Hostile artillery is destroyed, Artillery on
the Conditions table is now replaced with the Clear Skies result.

Setup and Loot

Place two artillery guns 9 inches onto the table as shown in the
diagram, and 6 inches apart. Each gun starts loaded with 1 Ammo.

Deployment
Versus and Coop: players select a deployment area based on
Initiative and place models within 3 inches of that board edge.

Solo Play: you may place models in either deployment area.

Threats
After the first gun is fired, two Hounds of Annwn spawn in the
Hostile spawn area. Each time a gun is fired, another Hound spawns
on the board edge nearest the gun that just fired.

Solo Play
Place only one gun in the center of the board.

COOP Play
After each round, one additional Hound of Annwn spawns at the
start of the Hostile activation phase.

Firing the Guns

To fire a gun a model must be within 1 inch on a loaded gun
and pass a Presence test as an action. To reload, a model must
have at least one Artillery Shell on them. Reloading takes
an action. When the gun is fired roll a D10. On 9+ the Hostile
artillery is destroyed.

to those distant guns.

When the Hounds of Annwn appear read:

Your shots ring out into the Fog, and their deafening cries
are answered shortly after by hollow howls from something
demonic. You turn to see red glowing eyes, snarling mouths,
and fur as black as night. Grabbing your guns, you steady
yourselves as the beasts charge for you.
79
 7. What music they make
The Man in Fort X congratulates you. Whether you scored a
direct hit or simply scared them into repositioning, the
Hostile artillery has fallen silent in recent days, and with
that you have opened access to an old tank depot that is sure to
be ripe with parts you will need to escape this place.

Goal
Secure Tank Components from the depot.

Reward
For each Tank Component secured, roll on the table on page 97.
For each Nachzehrer killed, gain 10 Resources.

Setup and Loot

Players should take it in turns to place two tank supply boxes
at least 3 inches from either player deployment and 3 inches
from another supply box. One additional box should be placed
in the center of the board. This table is the insides of a tank
depot, and terrain should reflect this. These boxes can be
Looted (pg. 65). On a succesful Looting attempt, models gain
standard Loot and 1 random Tank Component (pg. 97).

Deployment
Versus and Coop: players select a deployment area as shown in
the diagram and place models within a 3 inch box.

Solo Play: you may place models in either deployment area.

Models may only leave the board via deployment areas as these
represent doors into the depot.

Threats
Players should take it in turns to place two Nachzehrer (pg. 56)
within 1 inch of a component box.

Solo Play
Place two supply boxes and the central box, and also spawn
three Nachzehrer.

you see parts, ammo, and other items useful for you, but the
shadows begin to stir as you look deeply into the darkness.

When the players leave carrying parts read:

Vampires! Of all the bloody things this land has thrown at
you, now this!? At least you managed to get out with some
gear and loot. As you flee, haunting songs chase you away.

 8. There's only a thin red line between the sane

The Zealots of War worship the very thing that brought us to
ruin: war and all its manifestations. They stockpile weapons
and ammunition and treat them like holy relics. Their
stockpiles are likely a good source of Tank Components. The
Quartermaster wants them dead: hoarders are bad for business.

Goal
Kill the Zealots and search their supplies.

Reward
For each Zealot killed the Quartermaster pays 20 Resources.

Setup and Loot

Players should take it in turns to place two shrines each
outside of their deployment areas. An additional shrine is
placed in the centre of the board. One Zealot of War (pg. 57)
prays at each shrine. Players should also place terrain as per
the terrain rules (pg. 64).

Deployment
Versus and Coop: players select a board edge based on
Initiative and place models within 3 inches of that board edge.

Solo Play: you may place models in either deployment area.

Threats
On rounds 3 and 5, two more Zealots of War appear from a random
board edge.

Solo Play
Place three shrines and only spawn Zealots on round 3.

COOP Play
Each shrine is prayed at by two Zealots.

Shrines
As an action a model within 1 inch of a shrine can search for an
Item. Instead of normal Looting rules, roll a D6:
1 - random Tank Component. 2 – random Weapon.
3 – random Ammo. 4 – 6-pounder Ammo. 5 – random Artefact.
6 – the shrine is trapped and the model takes D6 damage. Remove
the shrine as it explodes.

When the players arrive read:

The Zealots are kneeling to pray in front of piles of broken
weaponry, ammunition, and relics of The Last War, muttering
apocalyptic devotions to the debris.

When the players kill their first Zealot read:

The Zealots turn to you, faces covered with broken gas masks,
and in unison mutter ‘I look at that boy dyin’, I don’t feel
nothin’. I don’t care about nothin’ anymore.’
The minds of these beings have been lost to this place.

83
 9. a horror of gas
You still need parts to get your tank operational. While out
on a scavenge you lost track of time and soon realised you
had strayed too far. You saw them hunting you before the chase
really began. Fleeing from them as fast as you could, you
realised that they had cut off your return to your bunker.
Forward into the chemical wastes is the only way now. If you
can navigate fields of discarded gas cannisters, sinister
yellow clouds that hang in the air, and out run the beasts that
chase you, maybe, just maybe, you will make it out alive.

Goal
Make it home safe.

Reward
You get to live.

Setup and Loot

Players should take it in turns to place four Living Gas Clouds
(pg. 50) at least 3 inches from another Living Gas Cloud and
the edge of the table. Players should place terrain as per the
terrain rules (pg. 64). Players should take turns placing two
Loot Markers (pg. 65) at least 6 inches onto the board.

Deployment
Versus and Coop: players select a deployment area as shown in
the diagram and place models within a 3 inch box.

Solo Play: you may place models in either deployment area.

Models may only leave the board via the safe trench as shown on
the diagram.

Threats
Starting on round 1 onwards and every round thereafter, one
Vlkodlak (pg. 51) spawns in each of the player spawn areas at the
start of the Hostile activation phase. Any model Downed this
Scenario auto-fails their Death Saves.

Solo Play

stand and fight, so your only hope is to reach the safety of
your bunker as soon as you can. Your retreat is cut off: the
only hope is into the chemical wastes.

When the players arrive back at their Bunker read:

Lungs burning from gas and exertion, you slam the door to

 10. The haunted tank
‘Before you die in the Fog on a fool’s errand, how about you
do some good here?’ Nurse Nightshade asks you to take out a
Haunted Tank that has plagued the southern trenches for some
time. ‘Half of the twisted bodies I see are victims of that
dreaded machine. Kill it and you will be rewarded.’

Goal
Destroy the Haunted Tank.

Reward
For killing the Haunted Tank, gain 30 Resources. Any crew that
takes part gains two random Tank Components (pg. 97) and can
remove one Injury or Flaw from a model.

Setup and Loot

Set up the Haunted Tank (pg. 49) as shown in the diagram. Crews
can deploy their own tanks if they wish. All models not in a
tank and crew tanks should be placed in the player spawn areas.
Players should place terrain as per the terrain rules (pg. 64).
Players should place two Loot Markers each (pg. 65) within
6 inches of the Haunted Tank.

Deployment
Versus and Coop: players select a player deployment area based

Solo Play
The Haunted Tank has only 40HP.

COOP Play
The Haunted Tank has 70HP.

Looting the Haunted Tank

Models within 1 inch of the Haunted Tank, after it is reduced
to 0HP, can as an action pull a random Tank Component free
(pg. 97). These take up one Equipment Slot. Once five Tank
Components have been taken from the Haunted Tank it is removed

The Man in Fort X tells you that the only way out is through
No Man’s Land near the Battle of Morte. In order to escape this
place, you will first need to deal with the Angel Of Morte,
a being that is said to have driven the enemy away during
a key battle. In hindsight, the idea that any battle was key
seems strange. From your vantage point, the war seems rather
pointless, all in all.

Goal
Kill or drive off the Angel of Morte.

Reward
For every 10 damage a crew deals to the Angel they gain 20
Resources.
Killing the Angel gains 30 Resources. The Angel can be searched
three times when dead for a random Artefact (pg. 94) each time.

Setup and Loot

Crews may deploy their crew tanks for this Scenario. Players
should place in the center of the table the Angel of Morte.

Setup and Loot

Place two Things from the Fog 6 inches onto the table and 12
inches apart as shown in the diagram. Players should place
terrain as per the terrain rules (pg. 64). Models can only leave
the table via the far edge of the table as shown in the diagram.

Deployment

Solo Play: you may place models in either deployment area.

Threats

 CAMPAIGN
If you are playing full campaign mode, after each
Scenario take the following actions.

1. Each crew with at least one living member gets paid

10 Resources for taking part.

2. Roll DEATH SAVES (DR6 Toughness test) for

all models that were Downed at the end of the Scenario.
On failure the model dies. On success roll an Injury (see
below), on a Critical they recover with no Injury. If a
model dies, add their name to the wall of remembrance.
You can also pay Nurse Nightshade 15 Resources to
auto-pass a Death Save.

3. Roll on the Injury table (pg. 95). Injuries are

permanent effects that stack and change a model’s Stats
or abilities.
You can also pay Nurse Nightshade 15 Resources to
remove 1 injury. This can be done multiple times.

4. You can sell Items to the Quartermaster. He pays half

the cost of Weapons and Armor.
Manuscripts cannot be sold.

Improve a crew member’s ability by 1.
Remove a crew member’s Injury.
Reroll a crew member’s Flaw.
Gain a new Feat for a crew member.
Bring a crew member back from the dead with a new Flaw!

6. Hire New Crew Members: At the end of the world there are
plenty of lost souls looking for work. If your crew has less
than five people in it you can recruit new members for free,
creating them as you did your original members. New members
come with no Equipment, so ether pillage your dead or buy
them some new threads. If all five of your crew are dead, start
from scratch! Once per Scenario you can fire a crew member and
replace them, but they take their Equipment with them.

7. Spend 50 Resources to purchase a bunker upgrade (pg. 102).

8. Reallocate Equipment, including placing it in your party

stash and buying new Equipment.

End of Campaign Score

You can apply the following to give yourself a campaign score:
+5 for each model that made it all the way through the campaign
alive.

 TANK MANUAL
Each crew needs a tank if they are to escape this horrid
place. Tanks are behemoths on the battlefield, and few can
stand against them, at least when they are fully operational.
A tank is made up of a number of Components and takes some
skill to operate. Here are the rules for maintaining and
operating your tank for victory.

How do tanks work in The Last War?

Tanks do not get an activation of their own. Instead, models
inside them activate to operate the tank. For example, a model
might activate to, as an action, drive the tank or shoot one
of its Weapons. When a model enters a tank, it should be given
a role that will determine what actions it can take while in
the tank.

If a crew’s tank is ever destroyed, all Components on that

tank are lost. The Man in Fort X will give the crew a new tank
with two random Components and an Engine.

Roles and Actions

Any model inside a tank can leave a tank as an action. Place the
model within 1 inch of the tank and end their activation.

Any model within 1 inch of a tank can, as an action, enter a tank.

Remove the model from the table. Each tank can hold five models.

Driver
A driver can, as an action:
Move a tank up to 6 inches forward or backwards.
Turn the tank up to 90 degrees.
Gunner
A gunner should be assigned to a specific gun of the tank.
A Tank can have three gunners.
A gunner can, as an action:
Fire a Gun.
Reload a Gun.
Unjam a Gun.
Engineer
A tank can have two engineers.
Engineers can, as an actions
Repair a Component (Presence test).
Unjam a Gun.

96
tank components D6

1. Armor Plate
For each Armor Plate a tank has, its Armor increases by 1.
2. Tracks
A tank requires both left and right tracks to move forward
and backwards. Otherwise, a tank can only turn. Tanks with
neither track cannot move.
3. Small Arms Emplacements
A tank has Slots for two small arms. These can be any of the
guns from the Weapons list on page 19.
4. Main Gun
This is a 6-Pounder gun and requires separate Ammo to fire.
5. 6-Pounder Ammo
Required to fire main gun. Tanks can store a maximum of
10 Ammo.
6. Engine
Tanks cannot turn or move forward and backwards without an
engine.

Spare Tank Components can be kept for repairs or sold for 15R.
The Quartermaster sells all Components for 30R and 6-Pounder
Ammo for 10R.

tank Health
Tanks have 50HP. This resets between Scenarios. A tank can be
targeted as if it was a model. Hostile creatures also treat a
tank as a model when determining closest model and attacks.

When a tank reaches 0HP it explodes. Any model inside a tank

when it explodes must make an Agility test. On failure they
take D10 damage and are placed next to the destroyed tank.
On success they are placed next to the destroyed tank. On a
Fumble they are killed in the explosion. A destroyed tank can
be Looted once for a Tank Component (pg. 97).

Damage and attacks against tanks work like all other damage
and attacks in the game. Apply damage, minus Armor. If a tank
is Critically hit, deal 0 damage and instead one random
Tank Component on the Tank Roster is damaged. Parts can be
repaired by the tank engineer during a Scenario, or replaced
with new parts post Scenario.

97
 Fire the tank's guns

Tank guns are ranged attacks (pg. 37).

Small Arms Emplacements

These can take any gun from the Ranged Weapons list on page 19.
The gun is considered to be mounted to the tank and cannot be
removed during a Scenario. The gun works otherwise as normal.
A gunner in a tank can, as an action, fire/reload the small arms
emplacement mounted gun. To do so that model makes the roll
using their relevant ability.

6-Pounder Gun
A gunner assigned to this can, as an action, fire or reload this
Gun. The Gun has the stat line:

[Reload] [Explode] [Ranged 20] [Strength].

If a tank has no 6-Pounder Ammo this Gun cannot be used.

If a model ever Fumbles rolling this Gun, it Explodes (pg. 24),

but damage is dealt to the tank, not the model firing the Gun.

The 6-Pounder Gun deals 2D10 damage.

The 6-Pounder Gun can only fire at targets in front of the

tank (you should specify when deploying a tank which side is
forward).

Crushing a model
A tank that runs into a model deals D8 damage to that model.

Pushing a tank
Models with a combined Strength of at least 6 can push a tank in
any direction. To do so as an action, a model must push the tank.
There must be friendly models within 1 inch of the tank with a
combined Strength total of at least 6 in order to do so. A pushed
tank moves 2 inches.

When to use your tank

Scenarios will specify if you can use your crew’s tank or not.

Crew Supply

101
 Crew Bunker
Every crew gets a bunker from Scenario 1 onwards.
Crews keep extra Equipment in their bunker, and between
Scenarios can upgrade the bunker for 50 Resources.
Once you purchase a bunker upgrade, tick the box to
indicate access to its benefits.
aExtra Beds
Crew may recruit one additional member, but still deploy only
five models to a Scenario.

aKennel
Crew gains a free Service Animal between Scenarios if they do not
already have one recruited or their current Service Animal is
killed. Crew can still only have one Service Animal at a time.

aField Hospital
Nurse Nightshade operates from your bunker on occasions. Between
Scenarios you may remove one Injury from a crew member.

aChemist
All crew members gain a free grenade every Scenario.

aTank Engineers
Gain one random Tank Component (pg. 97) between Scenarios.

aSupply runs
Gain one random Weapon (pg. 19) between Scenarios.

aDr West
One crew member who was killed is returned to life with a new Feat
and Flaw as follows:
Feat: Serum: model is immune to Morale, Poison, and Disease.
Flaw: Uncontrollable Temperament: if model ever Fumbles, make
a Presence test. On failure they become Hostile to all models on
the table, including other crew members. Instead of being player
controlled, they now follow Hostile rules until the end of the
Scenario. At this point they rejoin the crew.
102
 ENDLESS WAR
Not all make it out of the Fog. In Endless War Mode you can play
randomly generated Scenarios, using these rules to increase
the battlefield and wage war on a larger scale. This can be
added to existing campaigns or played as one-off pick-ups.

Endless War Mode

1. Set up the board. Player 1 trench
2. Roll a d4 for a Goal.
3. Place Loot.
4. Roll for Condition (pg. 66).
5. Decide End of Game.

Board Setup
Want to play ? For every 1 foot
you increase the board size,
increase the player trenches
by 3 inches.
Player 2 trench
Deployment
Players deploy as normal rules inside their trench.

Loot
Players take it in turns to place four Loot Markers (pg. 65) at least
12 inches from their deployment area and 3 inches from another Loot
Marker. For every five additional models a player decides to add to
their crew, add another four Loot Markers.

Increase the Carnage

Want to play with larger crews? Then do it!!! Each side can add models,
generating them as normal. However, these extra models do not join
your main crew for campaign purposes. For every five extra models
you add, one can be a Special Trooper. Each side should have an equal
amount of models. You may also hire Mercenaries (pg. 107) for free.
Players should determine who decides which Mercenary to bring first.

104
Goals
1. Defend the Trench

Randomly determine one player to be defender, the other the attacker. The defender
must hold their trench line until the end of the battle, ensuring they have more
troops in the trench than their opponent. To aid in the assault, the attack has created
a smoke barrage! Attacking troops are -3 to hit unless they are within 6 inches of a
defender. This penalty stacks with other modifiers.

In Solo Play and Coop, the defenders are replaced by the Loyal. Deploy a number of
Loyal equal to your crew’s Strength +1.

2. Take the Hill

In the centre of the board place a piece of terrain to represent a hill. This should be
at least 6 inches across in all directions. At the end of the battle the player with the
most troops on the hill wins.

The hill is guarded by two Gas Bugs (pg. 48) per player. Increase this by one for every
five additional models a crew contains.

In Solo Play and COOP , replace the Gas Bugs with Loyal equal to the Strength of the
crews +1.

3. Into the Flood

Rising waters from heavy rainfall threaten to drown all troops! The middle of the
board contains a strip 4 inches wide that is high ground. Any model not on high
ground at the end of the battle must make a Death Save.

After round 2 the trenches begin to flood. Any model in a trench after round 2 is
removed from the board and must make a Death Save.

The centre is home to D6+3 Ghosts of No Man’s Land.

Do not roll Conditions. Instead, the battlefield is considered Muddy.

4. Blow the Trench Line

In the centre of the board place a Marker to represent a detonator. This detonator can
be used to blow up a trench line of your choosing. Any model in a trench when it blows
up must pass an Agility test or be killed outright.
A model within 1 inch of the detonator and not in combat can first, as an action, make
a Presence test to prime/disarm the detonator. If they succeed they can choose which
trench line is currently rigged to explode.

To trigger the explosion, a Model within 1 inch of a primed detonator can, as an

action make a Presence test to trigger an explosion in a trench line rigged to
explode. The detonator is guarded by three Mud Ghouls (pg. 46). At the end of round 1
roll a D6 for each crew member. On 5+ 5 a Mud Gould appears next to them!

In Solo Play and COOP, pick a trench line that needs to be destroyed. From round 1
onwards, a random Hostile (pg. 59) appears in that trench line at the start of the
Hostile activation phase.

Do not roll Conditions. Instead, the battlefield is considered Muddy. 105

 End of Game
1. End of round 6.
2. After round 5 roll a D6. Add the dice result to the current round
total. When it hits 11 the game ends.
3. Play until only one side has models left standing or all Hostiles

Hostiles

Add even more chaos by rolling from round 2, 4, and 6 for random
Hostiles to spawn on a random board edge!
Drawn to the sounds of battle, others join the fray.

Tanks

Bring the big guns to bare! Give each crew a tank if both players
agree. Tanks comes with six random Tank Components (pg. 97) and three
Ammo for the 6-Pounder. If you give crews a tank, a Thing from the Fog
will appear on round 4 on a random board edge.

SECRET WEAPONS OF WAR
Across The Last War, many strange things were tested on the
battlefield. These may be purchased for their associated cost from the
Quartermaster. Their prices indicates their rarity!

All Secret Weapons of war were created by the mad scientist GWRD
and first deployed in the battle of redacted hill .
They would often result in the deaths of those using them just as
often as those they were used against.

1. SMG
[D6][Ranged, Jam, Reload 6][Presence] [35R]
Uses Pistol Ammo. Becomes AF2 if firing at a
target within 6 inches.

2. Trench Mortar
[D6][Ranged15, Explode, Reload][Presence] [80R]
Does not require line of sight. Always requires
a roll of DR15 regardless of any other modifier.
Ammo can be bought for 5R per shot. Cannot be
fired on a turn that the bearer moved.

3. Pipe Shotgun
[D8][Ranged6, Explode, Reload][Strength] [5R]
Uses Shotgun Ammo. A roll of 3 or less is
considered a Fumble.

4. Satchel Charge
[D10][Explode][Strength] [25R]
Must be placed within 1 inch of the user.
Explodes at the end of the next full round.
Deals damage to all models within 3 inches.
If it explodes while placed on a piece of
terrain, that terrain is removed from play.

5. Mobile Shield [20R]

Grants user Armor 4, but movement reduced to
1 inch per round.

108
6. Periscope-Based Rifle
[D8][Ranged, Jam, Reload 5][Presence] [45R]
Can be used to shoot around corners. User may
draw line of sight from any point within 1 inch
of them to another model.

7. The Explosive Rat

[D6][Explode][Presence] [6R]
User must pass a Presence test to place
Explosive Rat. At end of that activation rat
moves D6 inches (controlled by player). Each
round the Rat moves another D6 inches at the
end of any controlling player's activation. If
within 1 inch of enemy model it explodes. If
shot, the Rat explodes, dealing D6 damage to any
model with 1 inch. If a Presence test is failed,
the Rat instead bites user, dealing
1 damage.

8. Thirteen Angry Goats

9. Trench Flail
[D8][Criticals cause Bleed][Strength] [8R]

10. Gyro Suit [200R]

An experimental suit of gears and cables. Grants
the user +3 Strength and Armor 3. However,
user's movement is capped at 3 inches per
round. The user cannot climb or jump. In Muddy
Conditions, each time the user activates they
must make a Strength test; on failure they
cannot move that activation.

 The Last War, fought for pride or in hubris, didn’t end on a set
date at a set time. It spluttered out until those left in the
trenches realised no more artillery fire was coming, nor supplies
nor orders. After years in the trenches, it took them all some
time to put their heads above the trench line. Doing so was
suicide on a normal day.

Silence descended on the trenches, a silence that usually meant

the enemy had stopped firing the death from above to make space
for another futile push. When the artillery ceased to rain,
you gripped your rifle, ready for the enemies to appear on the
horizon. But the day The Last War ended, no one came.
The echo of distant fire grew still.

It was Whispers that looked above the dirt first. When they said
there was nothing but Fog, the rest of the unit each took a turn
to look, standing on a rotten ladder. The first night nothing
came out of that Fog. On the second night, haunting noises
pierced the stillness. On the fourth night Red, the CO, asked
all to draw straws. Five were sent out into that swirling mist.
The rest stayed awake all night, awaiting their return. The Fog
seemed to block out a lot of the sun during the day, but as the
sky lightened slightly to indicate the coming of dawn, no one
returned. In a few more days the unit’s numbers had dwindled. A
lack of orders from command, no sight of the enemy, and a sense
something was wrong began to germinate amongst the troops.

112
When only a few lingered and Red had neither the authority nor
will to send anyone else out to the Fog, the remaining souls
decided to head out together toward the old HQ. The only thing
that met them there was dust and the dead.

A few days later they stumbled across the Quartermaster, not

someone any of the crew had met before the end. A rather robust
man, he seemed almost joyous about his new-found position in
life. He explained to them that the world had indeed come to its
end, or AN END, at least. As far as anyone was able to tell,
command was gone, the nations that they had fought so hard for
had ceased to exist in all but memory, and now all that was left
was to survive day by day.

That’s all it took for some of those who had marched with the
crew to take their leave, either heading out to try and find out
if what the Quartermaster said was true, or simply fading away,
broken by the situation. At this point only five remained.
Red was in command ,and Whispers was still the first to approach
each new horror. Barker, the group’s medic, had lost his jovial
cheer, and the Professor contested that there must have been
some explanation for what was happening. Jr had seen hell in
the war, and simply believed that this was some new purgatory
that they had all found themselves in. The five of them remained
together, taking each day as it came.

Dwelling on why this had happened was pointless when their

bellies called out for something to eat. Reluctantly, they
agreed to work with the Quartermaster, heading back the way they
had come to search the trenches for items and gear he could use
or sell.

That was all three months ago.

Since then, the crew had made several expeditions into the
trenches to locate what they could to trade for food, whisky,
and weapons. They had seen the horrors of the trenches, and the
new horrors that had come forth from the Fog.
113
 It had been a normal day of hazy sunlight and
damp drizzle, a normal day in abnormal times. The
Quartermaster had sent them out once more, deeper into
the trenches this time. Across the mud they walked. The
section they were heading to had been cut off from the
main line by a particularly violent artillery barrage,
so they headed up over no man’s land for a section.

A single crack broke the silence of no man’s land,

followed by the wet thud of Jr hitting the deck. The
round had pierced straight through his throat. The rest
stood still for a moment, until Red screamed at them
to get some cover. Whispers and the Professor dragged
Barker into a crater. He was certain he could help Jr,
but the rest knew it was futile. Holding the man down,
Red leaned into him. ‘He’s gone, Barker, and we don’t
have the rounds in our guns to take a fight, and trying
to help him is suicide!’ They sat in that muddy hole,
listening to Jr gurgle his last.

The sniper was likely one of the Loyal, those who

refused to accept that the war was over. They either
treated you as the enemy or as deserters from the cause.
They could not accept the war had been for nothing. When
Jr fell silent, the crew made a break for it, running
away from the direction of the shot. Mud kicked up as
bullets rained around them. They made it to the trench
they were heading for, and dived in.

Adrenaline is a hell of a drug, and so each of the crew

checked themselves for bullet holes that may have gone
unnoticed. The sniper hadn’t been all that good of a
shot, after all. They took a moment to regain their
stamina. Barker was visibly shaken by what had happened.

114
Red past him a flask that contained a deep amber liquid. `We
need to head inside the dugout now. I’m not sure how deep this
one goes, and we want to be back before dark.’

The crew were poorly equipped. Between them they held a single
working rifle, in the hands of the Professor, who had always
been the better shot. Red carried his service revolver, only
two rounds left. Whispers pulled out a knife as they walked
towards the dugout door, and Barker took the rear, dragging
with him a piece of wood with barbed wire wrapped around it.

Whispers pushed against the door; mud build up meant they

had to use some force to get it to move inwards. A narrow
gap allowed access, and the crew moved inside. Red lit up a
lantern, the light puncturing the darkness. The first room they
entered was like so many other dugouts they had been in over
the course of the war. Wood planks lined the walls, floors, and
ceiling, a desk sat in one corner, and makeshift beds in the
other. Across from the entrance, a tunnel led deeper in.

‘What are we here for, Red?’ the Professor spoke low. The
dugout seemed abandoned, but the last three months had taught
them that they could take nothing for granted. ‘Deeper in, QM
says there’s a stockpile of food, wants us to check it out,
let’s head in.’ Whispers nodded in response to Red, and moved
first towards the tunnel opening, heading in deeper. The dugout
was one of the largest any of them had seen. Thirty minutes had
passed since they entered, and they were still finding rooms to
explore. Heading deeper still, they pushed open a rotten wooden
door. Whispers looked into the gloom.

‘The ceiling has caved in here’ Whispers whispered, as they

stepped into the room. Water covered the floor, and to the
rear mud blocked the way forward. ‘We need to pass through
here, let’s get digging’ Red said, knowing they were all

115
 used to handling a shovel after years of trench warfare. It
was hard work, and the crew took it in turns digging at the
mud. Some time had passed when Barker thrust the entrenching
tool downwards and heard the distinct sound of metal on metal.
Moving mud away from the obstruction he called over, ‘Hey I hit
something.’ The Professor, who had been next in line for dig
duty, moved over with the lantern, to shine a light on what had
been found. ‘What is it?’ Barker asked, poking at it with his
shovel. ‘I don’t think you should d….’ The Professor’s warning
was cut short as the roar of an explosion silenced him. Red
turned to watch as Barker and the Professor were turned into a
fine mist, the shock wave sending him back flying into the tunnel.

Red awoke with no concept of how much time had passed. He felt
weight on his legs, a sharp ache in his head, and the skin on
his face and arms prickled sensitively, raw skin having been
exposed.

The weight on his legs shifted as he felt someone drag him from
the mud. Coughing up dirt, he asked, ‘Where’s the others?’
Whispers responded as they dragged Red free. ‘Dead.’ Without
another word, Red and Whispers picked up what they could find in
the tunnel: the Professor’s rifle and some sacks of items they
had found in the tunnels. Whispers had made a makeshift torch,
and they began to head back the way they had come.

Red was not sure how injured he was, but his body complained
with every step he took. They entered a room they had passed
previously. It was waterlogged, and as they made their way
across Red spoke for the first time in a few minutes. ‘Hold up, I
need a second.’ He drew out his whisky and took a deep draw from
it. He looked to Whispers, saying ‘I’m ready.’ He took one more
step, and the floor burst upwards.

Water and mud drove Whispers back, and as it settled to the

116
floor he could see a pulsating mass of white flesh, like a
maggot, undulating. Eyes dotted along its side blinked in
unison. Grunts of pain came from Red, who was half in the foul
creature’s mouth. Long, spine-like teeth punctured his side.
Although thrashing from side to side, he had managed to draw
his pistol, but could not get the angle to fire.
Whispers steadied the rifle and fired at the creature, several
shots finding their mark in quick succession, but it seemed
to barely even notice. Red locked eyes with Whispers, the
revolver fired once, and the man stopped struggling. The pistol
fell to the ground as the maggot thing drew Red’s body into
its maw.

Whisper skirted forward and grabbed the revolver, discarding

the spent rifle, and darted away as quickly as they could. The
creature ignored them as it fed.

Whispers stumbled away. ‘First in, last to go out’ flitted

through their mind. Reaching the open door that led back
outside, they pushed their way through, out into the gloom.
Night had come. In the darkness Whispers could hear them,
things moving in the Fog, monsters from myths and nightmares
brought to life by the hatred of The Last War. Strange cries
and sounds littered the air.

Whispers pulled from their pocket a match box, lighting a

match as they examined the revolver. One bullet remained.

Caked in mud, at the end of it all, Whisper looked up and saw

the glint of something in the darkness ahead of them. Long
fangs glistened in the small amount of light given off by the
match. ‘One bullet, but who for?’ Whispers spoke loudly to the
creature. It drew closer as the match burned down. Whispers
raised the revolver, and pulled the trigger for the last time.
