World War 3 lasted only a couple of hours, but the end of civilisation occurred just thé same, at * least for us and the Russians. They kept pushing us, taking over Ukraine (and then mobilising to push further and further. We did everything we could; | embargo them, imposed sanctions, got our allies to gan oF on them. Yet they © remained adamant and weren't gonna back off. Although most at us aren't Sure exactly why we did, when we did, we struck first. Mrs. President pressed the Big Red button... Kaboom! Moscow and over a dozen other Russian cities were scratched from existence to be replaced with a hot-zone that would remain burning bright for over 200 years. We did it, but it turns out, so did they. The devastation began a day or so later. When Russia saw that we had launched our warheads, they did the same. But they didn’t hold back like we did. They blew up warheads in our lower atmosphere (took out all of our electrical it and communication networks). They annihilated our military bases and supply depots and left us utterly unable to deal with the third portion of the Russian retribution... Zombies! : At first we thought it was some stroke of fuck that our major cities had been spared the biggest of the blasts, only having been hit by a few small missiles while the other strategic points and infrastructure of our once great nation were utterly decimated. Suddenly people started getting sick, by the chai then the y millions. Then people started dying in mass waves. This would : have been horrible enough in itself, but then the dead came back and they were hungry... hungry for us! 7 fey ate anything they could sink their undead teeth into - dogs, cats, insects and even other zombies, but what they really wanted was the warm, pink brain tissue of the still fiving. ‘Now this, it turns out, is where science fiction and science fact go their separate ways; you can get bitten and survive, you can bleed out and die and not come back, zombie does not breed zombie. The Russian bombs unleashed an airborne virus and the effect was just as devastating as any nuke. Psychologically, it was arguably far, far worse. Since their earfier bombs had taken out our ability to communicate or respond with anyone, we just had to try era to defend ourselves as best we coulae 4 sti have nightmares now, and the combles have Seen gone 20 years. Don’t get me wrong; there are still some no-go areas, in fact every major city is closed down. The zombies might not be hardy but the viral agent released from those bombs was. Every now and again a gang would venture too far, looking for gas or food, then it would happen, they went alf ‘zombie, dying from the ever lingering viral spores and soon coming Back.

The bomb went a little awry, landing directly on Oakland. So the virus never made it across the bay. When the zombies started crossing the Bay and Golden Gate Bridges they were blown. Then the populace barricaded themselves off us- ing the ‘Northern Canal and the Holy Cross Cemetery. It seems quite ironic now that the land of the dead became the fast stand of the living.

Twenty years after the war, those that have survived must fight for everything. Post-apocalyptic North America is a feudal land run by numerous gangs, the most powerful of which control the interstates and rush to win control © of the aid drops (ADs) delivered by the new Super Powers; the SRI (Super-Repub- lic of India), the UCE (United Countries of Europe) and Brazilia (formerly South America). Each player controls a gang of ramshackle vehicles and their characterful drivers as they race across the remains of America to lay claim to the aid drops and the riches they contain. Each gang will do whatever it takes to get to the drops first... murder, death, kill, race, win! DICE n the game various dice are used, including six and ten sided dice. For ease we will use a short-hand to describe dice type, for example, six-sided dice are re- ferred to as D6s and ten-sided dice are called D10s. If more than one dice of a particular type is to be used, the D6 or D10 for example, will have a number pre- cursor, which indicates the number of that particular dice type should be rolled. For example 2D10 means two ten-sided dice should be rolled and 5D6 means five six-sided dice. Also we should note that the singular of dice’ is die} but to avoid confusion we will use dice in all cases. ‘y A aN “Haul Out!” Traditional Run Cry of the Haul’s AngelsTHE BOARD the Devils Run uses a rolling board mechanic using 3 road tiles, which can be combined in any order depending on the mission. Devil's Run is a linear, forward motion game, in which the road is created throughout the game. Ideally you will need a space of approximately 3x3 foot to play (but that is not a necessity). The initial setup will include the three designated tiles ordered as specified by the mission. Once a model exits the third (final) tile, the owning player must take the first tile from the table and place the fourth next to the third. At this point any mod- els still on the first tile are removed from play. This approach continues when the fourth tile is exited, therefore the ‘second’ (and so now back-most) tile and any models on it are removed and the ‘first’ tile becomes the fifth. The tiles and models are removed and added in this fashion until only 1 vehicle remains or a player completes the mission. INITIAL DEPLOYMENT ach mission includes a schematic of how the tiles should be placed. On the tiles various letters, numbers and symbols are included. The * represents the * locations where debris should be placed. The letters and numbers represent the deployment options for the 2 gangs. Both players roll a D10. The player with the highest roll (in the case of a draw reroll), chooses either ‘letters’ or ‘numbers. That player then places a vehicle in one of his deployment squares. The other player then places a vehicle in one of their deployment squares. Deployment then alter- nates until all vehicles are placed on an appropriate deployment square. impassable) Lerrauny Delores) SsexulPOSITIONING VEHICLES ON THE BOARD ach vehicle in Devil's Run occupies a number of squares. The foremost square, at the front of the vehicle, is the Primary position. All other squares occupied (or partially occupied) by the vehicle are <@ considered Secondary positions. When setting up, at the beginning of a game, a vehicle’ primary position must be placed on a viable deployment square. If there is no room behind the deployment square for the vehicles secondary position the vehicle cannot be deployed on the deployment squares in which case an alternative deployment square must be used. If there is no viable deployment squares the vehicle may not be deployed and is considered wiped-out. All forward movement is measured from the Primary square. Ifa vehicle has a secondary location on a tile when the tile is removed the vehicle is also removed from play. ORDER OF PLAY Sse depends on the mission being played (see the mission section). At the beginning of each turn the players roll a D10. The player with the highest value chooses who goes first. Players then alternate activating any vehicle in their gang. If one player has more vehicles than their opponent all remaining vehicles are activated in turn until all vehicles in play have been activated. Once all vehicles have activated the turn ends and the players roll off again to determine who goes first in the next turn. WINNING THE GAME es game is won if the mission objective is completed. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE... s with any game (or at least it should be), the most important rule in Devil’s Run is have fun! If you are not having fun then what's the point? If an argument does surface, consult the rules; they should give you the answer, but if not toss a coin to decide.E VEHICLE STATCARD MM: Minimum Movement: ‘his is the minimum number of spaces a vehicle must move in each turn. This MM modifier is supplemented by D3 extra movement. Therefore a vehicle with a MM of 3 must move at least 3 spaces and will additionally be able to move another I, 2 or 3 spaces depend- ing on the D3 result. CP: Chassis Points: The Chassis value represents the durability of each vehicle. Once reduced to 0 or less, the vehicle becomes a wreck. Each vehicle statcard should be allocated the appro- priate number of Chassis tokens at the beginning of the game. A: Armour: Armour represents the bits of the vehicle that do not matter if they get shot. An A test is successful if the D10 roll is lower or equal to the A value. An A value of 2 therefore means the vehicle needs a 1 or 2 to ignore the damage point, 1 means the vehicle needs a 1. Each vehicle statcard should be allocated the appropriate number of Armour tokens at the beginning of the game. E: Evade: One of the best offensive weapons in any Haulage ganger’s arsenal is their vehicle. Vehicles can do serious damage by ramming or sideswiping anoth- er vehicle. Evading such moves is often a wise option. ‘The E value represents the vehicles ability to evade such an attack. An Evade reaction is successful if the D10 roll is lower or equal to the E value. BS1: Ballistic Skill 1: This is how good the vehicles driver is at shooting at a speeding vehicle from their own speeding vehicle. A BS test is successful if the D10 roll is lower or equal to the BS value. So a biker with a BS of 7 will need to roll a 1-7 to hit his target. The BS value is often modified depending on the distance and situation (if it’s nearer it’s easier to hit!).2: Exactly the same as BSI, but this is the ic skill for any secondary or tertiary weapons, which are often fired by a passenger or designated gunner. Vehicles with a BS2 value of - cannot be allocated a passenger or gunner. $: Price: As Devil’s Run has been designed as a ‘sand-box’ style game where players can create their own gangs (check out the free Advanced Rules at df 0), vehicle conversions and missions, each Be Gatos, Back weapon, acinonrand pear ehnicealao has aS prion, When creating a gang for a mission, the players should ensure that their gang $ total either equals the designated target or is less than it. Special Skills: Some vehicles come with special skills. The special skills are described on the vehicles Statcard. Equipped with: The Devil's Run is a dangerous and often fatal vocation. Each and every gang member (with any sense) will make sure they are well armed. The listed weapon comes as standard with the given vehicle. Upgrades and additional weapons may also be equipped. THE WEAPON & GEAR STATCARDS R: Range: The Range is the maximum number of squares the weapon can hit. Hence a pistol is at maximum range if the target is in the forth square away from the vehicle completing a BS test. Weapons can be fired at a lower range than that specified 4 (if within the designated arc of fire for the vehicle). RoF: Rate of Fire: is the number of shots the weapon can make and hence the number of D10s that are rolled when completing a BS test. Each successful test counts as a hit. P: Power: of the weapon. If the weapon hits and the armour test is failed the weapon causes P chassis points to be lost for each, successful hit. For example: a Pistol has a P of 1 so causes the removal of 1 Chassis Point, a Magnum has a P of 2 hence causes the removal of 2 Chassis Points (if the A test is failed).NAVIGATING THE CHARACTER STATCARD he people in the game, like the ri i) aS are categorised depending on their ability and skill set. Some characters may fall under more than one category: Driver: Any character categorised as a Driver may drive any Buggy or Car. Rider: Any character categorised as a Rider may ride any Bike or Trike. Passenger: All characters can be added to a vehicle with at least one Passenger space as a passenger. Characters in a passenger space cannot modify E or BS1 values, but instead use the BS2 value. Some characters are listed as a Passenger only, in this case the character may not ride or drive any vehicle DEFINITION: UNIQUE @ ING vehicles, characters and weapons are often specified as Unique. Anything specified as unique may only be included in a player’s gang once. Conversely any non-unique vehicle, character or weapon can be included any number of times. Cards for unique characters and items feature the Unique Star Emblem directly after the character, vehicle or item name in the title bar. FACTIONS: 1n Devil’s Run: Route 666 there are 2 factions: ‘The Law Haulage Company (often abbreviated to the Law) and the Haul’s Angels. On the cards you will see one or other of their logos, or alternatively the Universal (can be }} used by all factions) logo: TheLaw — Haul’s Angels UniversalIl vehicles have a primary weapon. Some vehicles have or can be equipped with passengers or gunners which will give the vehicle a secondary or tertiary arc of fire. The numerical value in each square is the BS modifier to shoot to this distance. This is further explained in the Shooting Actions: Range Modifiers section on page 23. he Devils Run Board game comes complete with a number of vehicles which represent the two gangs: The Haul’s Angels and The Law Haulage Company. There are four types of vehicles in the Devil’ Run, Route 666 Boardgame: Bikes, Trikes, Buggies and Cars:ikes are the simplest of the vehicles commonly seen on the Devil's Run, ‘but they are also the fastest. As with all vehicles in the game, they come in all shapes and sizes, but all come with just two wheels. They tend not to have any armour and the riders are armed with small hand weapons, or at best a sawn-off shotgun. In comparison to other vehicles they are cheap, but have very limited access to upgrades, armour and weapons. Bike Statcard Arc of Fire Manoeuvrable: Roll 203 and discard one when determining movement. Equipped with a Rider with Pistol for free.ld where the quality of the road cannot be assured and where win, the trike is seen far more frequently than it was before the se. The Haul Angels, especially, favour it and bolt on a heavy gun or flamer depending on their expected foe. In the game the trike is versatile and reasonably speedy, but is a lot less manoeuvrable than its tw wheeled counterpart. Arc of Fire Trike Statcard Hard to Steer: Moving at movement.

The one-man gun platform acts as the lynch-pin in almost every Law fleet, providing cover to the speedier bikes and trikes. ‘The standard format is equipped with a semi-automatic paired = machine gun platform mounted on the roof of the vehicle; which while not quite as accurate as a manual system, ensures a significant rate of fire. Buggies have a very stable chassis and hardy, well tracked tyres, meaning that, although they are not quite as fast many other vehicles on the road, they are pretty much unaffected by adverse terrains, such as scrubland, desert or ice.

The Haul’s Angels, for example, love to customise their cars, stripping them back nearly to their chassis, before bolting on all manner of customisations. First on their list is an oversized engine, followed by various defensive weapons, such as smoke screens, oil slicks etc. Furthermore the vehicles are reinforced with additional armour, which itself, is often used offensively to ram others off of the road. In the past ballistic weapons were bolted to the bodywork or chassis, but this approach has fallen out of favour due to the inaccurate nature of such weapons and the fact they often shear from the bodywork or buckle the chassis; instead hand weapons are mostly used by the driver and passengers to target the critical areas like tyres and opposing drivers. Arc of Fire Car Statcard id ahere are many different things a vehicle can do in Devil's Run, from dropping an oil spill, to hitting the Nitros. Maybe the driver may choose to sideswipe another vehicle or hit the brakes. PY Each vehicle has two action points per turn. Once activated the first action PX point must be used for a basic move action (unless a special implement action is FF declared). This basic move action can be upgraded to a special move action. If this is done the second action point is also used. Instead of upgrading the basic move action to a special move action, the second action point can be used to pay for a shooting action or an implement action. When shooting, all weapons may be fired ina single action (if they have a viable target). Options for using Action Points Action Point 1 Action Point 2 2 PSCC UNENINID asc roleren Acton Basie Mov Action pull: SPREE — PerrotF ; 1 CP and must moveIMPLEMENT ACTIONS mplement actions represent doing something other than driving or shooting. ‘They could be trying to pick up your fallen vehicle or restart your engine; or maybe pressing the button to release an oil spill or call in an airstrike. There are two types of Implement actions: Basic which uses one action point and Advanced which uses two action points. Basic Implement Actions: Basic Implement actions use one action point. Push the Button: Any vehicle may complete a push the button action by declaring it at the beginning of their move action. Many vehicles are equipped with offensive or defensive equipment or gear; activating (or using) such equipment costs 1 action point. Repair: Available to wrecks only. To attempt to repair a wreck roll 3D6, on a roll of two 6s the vehicle is repaired, regains 1 chassis point and must immediately move in a forward direction its minimum movement. On a roll of three 6s, the vehicle regains 3 chassis points and has 2 Action Points. Advanced Implement Actions: Advanced Implement actions use two action points. Take them out!: If a unique character is in a wreck, a vehicle in an adjacent square may target the wreck with a take them out special action for 2 action points. Complete a BS test with a -2 modifier. If successful the unique character is taken out and cannot be used in any subsequent runs. Additionally the wreck is instantly reduced to 0 action points. an with all cards note: 0 yl Fe fe op unique the unique characters:MOVE ACTIONS here are two types of move actions in Devil’s Run: Basic and Special. ‘The basic move action costs 1 action point, whereas special move actions cost 2 action points. The first action point per vehicle per turn must be spent on a Move action. Only 1 move action (of any type) may be completed per turn. Basic Move Actions: ‘There are two basic move actions: Pedal to the Metal and BRAKE!, both use | action point. Pedal to the Metal: Vehicle movement is determined by a D3 roll and the designated minimum movement modifier. For example, a trike has a movement modifier of 3. So to move a trike, the owning player rolls a D3 and then adds 3; & this is the trike’s maximum movement allowance; whereas a car has a minimum. movement modifier of 2. It is likely therefore, although not certain, that a trike will move faster than a car in each basic movement action. Some vehicles (most notably bikes), can roll 2D3 when determining their movement. In such a case two D3 are rolled and the player chooses which one he wants to use. Vehicles must move in a forward direction (either diagonally or straight). Moving directly forward cost 1 movement and moving diagonally forward costs 2 movement. Each vehicle completing a Pedal to the Metal action must always move its minimum movement modifier and may move up to its total movement allocation (movement modifier +D3) For example: Rich is using an action to move his trike, he rolls a 2 and adds his modifier of 3, meaning he can move up to 5 spaces. Dominic next moves his bike, he rolls two D3s and gets a 1 and a 2. He discards the 1, keeping the 2, which with his modifier of 3 means his bike can move up to 5 spaces. In both cases the vehicles must move their minimum movement modifier of 3. BRAKE!: ‘The vehicle moves directly backwards its full movement allocation (movement modifier +D3).Offensive Special Move Actions: Il offensive special move actions may target the primary or a secondary location of the defending vehicle. As with basic move actions, offensive special move actions are determined by a D3 roll and the designated minimum movement modifier. Ram: Any vehicle may complete a Ram action by declaring it at the beginning of their move action. Ramming vehicles may not move diagonally. Vehicles that complete a Ram action move the ramming vehicle into the square of its target and move the target 1 space directly forward. Count the number of squares the ramming vehicle has moved and add it to its initial armour value and then add D3. The rammed vehicle adds a D3 roll to their & initial armour value. Compare the results. The vehicle with the lower value takes damage equal to the difference. Ram on the Brakes: ‘his special move action is similar to Ram. Any vehicle may complete a Ram on the Brakes special move action by declaring it at the beginning of their move action. Ramming on the Brakes vehicles may not move diagonally. Vehicles that complete a Ram on the Brakes special move action must move their vehicle directly backwards into the square of its target and move the target 1 space directly backwards. Count the number of squares the ramming vehicle has moved and add it to its initial armour val id then add D3. The rammed vehicle adds a D3 roll to their initial Armoury Both vehicles take chassis damage equal to their opponent's total.Sideswipe: Any vehicle may complete a Sideswipe action by declaring it at the beginning of their move action. Once declared move the sideswiping vehicle into position next to their target, then the square of its target (B) and move the target 1 space directly away from the sideswiping vehicle. The vehicle completing a sideswipe (A) may end its movement either diagonally for 2 movement or sideways for 1 movement. Add the result of a D3 roll to the sidesswiping vehicle's current Armour and CP value. For the target vehicle, add the result of a D3 to its current Armour and CP value. The vehicle with the lower value takes dai the difference.SHOOTING ACTIONS Completing a Shooting Action To fire a weapon a D10 is rolled (for each ROF; so if ROF is 3 3D10s are rolled) and compared to the allocated BS skill. If the roll is equal or lower than the BS value the shooting action is successful: A biker with a BS of 7 will need to roll a 1-7 to hit his target. The BS value is often modified depending on the distance to the target. Ifa vehicle has a target in more than one arc of fire, it may complete a shooting action at each target; but only one target can be targeted per arc of fire. Line of Sight To target a vehicle with a shooting attack, line of sight must be drawn. In this game line of sight is drawn from any position in any square occupied by the vehicle to «. any position within a square occupied by a target vehicle. As long as this line does not cross over any part of a square occupied by something that blocks line of sight (see below) then the shot can be made (assuming the target is within the weapons Arc of Fire). Other vehicles and wrecks block line of sight, as do some terrain pieces which have the special rule: Block Line of Sight (for example concrete walls or crash barriers). Range Modifiers ‘The distance (in squares) between the shooting vehicle and its target often has an effect on the ability of the shooter to hit its target. The Arc of Fire grids for each \ vehicle and weapon specify if the weapon can be fired and the BS modifier that is applied. For example: Ifa biker with a BS skill of 7 is targeting a vehicle in a square with a -2, the biker’s BS is modified by -2. Hence he has a BS of 5 and would need a roll of 5 or less to hit his target (BS7-2 =5). Weapon Power Each weapon has a P or Power value that represents the amount of damage it does for each successful BS test. For example: A pistol is P 1, whereas a Magnum is P2. Ifa vehicle is forced to take chassis damage trom 1 pistol shot it loses 1 CP. If'it takes chassis damage from a single Magnum shot it loses 2 CPs, Ifa weapon has stats of ROF2 and P2 and both BS tests cause damage, the target vehicle will lose 4 CPs (2 for each successful BS test). Critical Hits Il vehicles have sensitive sections, which if hit are likely to cause more serious damage. To represent this any BS test roll of 1 is considered a critical hit. Un- saved critical hits additionally cause an extra I point of chassis damage. peDEFENSIVE ROLLS Bs fast moving chunks of metal occasionally even an accurate hit can bounce off the target harmlessly. Every vehicle in the game has an Armour value. Ifthe A value or less is rolled on a D10 the damage point is ignored. When a vehicle receives more than 1 point of damage, roll the D10s one after another. As soon as one fail is rolled, all other damage gets through. a For example: A bike receives 5 points of damage, including one critical hit. The first (crit- ical) A test result is a I saving 1 point of damage and the extra critical point of damage, then a 2 is rolled saving the second point of damage. The third defensive dice roll is a 8 so fails. That point of damage gets through. The fourth and fifth damage cannot be saved, because the third defensive dice failed. Meaning the bike takes 3 points of chassis damage ical hits are always defended against first. BECOMING A WRECK ny vehicle reduced to 0 or fewer chassis points (CP) via any means, instantly becomes a wreck and is left in play (maybe place it upside-down on the square(s) where it became a wreck). Wrecks may not complete a Shoot or Move action and have 0 chassis points and | action point. The action point may be used to attempt a repair (see the Basic Implement action section). All wrecks additionally follow the wreck terrain rules listed in the Road Features section. a. A: ae 7 <= Sono h ‘elgilne of the best offensive weapons in any Haulage ganger’s arsenal is their ‘vehicle; they can do serious damage by ramming or sideswiping another vehicle. Evading such moves is often a wise option. The E value on the vehicles statcard represents the vehicles ability to evade such an attack. An Evade reaction is successful if the D10 roll is lower or equal to the E value. This is a free reaction to any Offensive Special Move action and can only be completed if a square is available to Evade into. In the case of vehicles with secondary and even tertiary positions enough space must be available to move the vehicle directly sideways without hitting any obstacles. Ram on the Evading a: Sideswipe Brakes If the Evade reaction is successful against a Ram or Ram on the Brakes, the vehicle completing the Offensive Special Move action MUST complete its full movement allowance in a straight line. Vehicles that attempted a Sideswipe that has been evaded just enter the square vacated by the evading vehicle. ‘The evading vehicle is placed in one of the legal Evade squares. Neither the evading nor offensive vehicle take any damage. If the Evade reaction is unsuccessful the evading vehicle is moved as described by the offensive move actionand the offensive vehicle takes the square of its target. ‘Then the damage is allocated as specified. If the remaining movement allowance, after a successful Evade, means the vehicle completing the offensive move action makes contact with a different vehicle then that vehicle, whether friend or foe, becomes the new target of the action. In such cases the new target may not attempt an Evade action so » \ | is hit automatically. 2PILE UPS O22: a vehicle may ram, ram on the brakes or sideswipe its target into another vehicle or an obstacle. This will, literally, have a knock on effect onall vehicles involved in the pile-up. Only the target of the offensive move special action can attempt an Evade reaction. In the diagram above it can be seen that Car B has rammed the Buggy, but Car A is in the square that the Buggy should be rammed into. This is a Pile-up. Equally another vehicle could be in front of Car A, if there is, they too are considered part of the pile-up. All vehicles involved in the Pile-up are moved as described by the rules of the particular offensive special move action and then receive 1 chassis points of damage additional to the damage they would normally take as a result of the special move actions. Ifan immovable object is involved in the pile-up, the vehicle next to the immovable object is instantly destroyed and removed from play, all other vehicles are moved as described by the rules of the particular offensive special move action and then receive 2 chassis points of damage additional to the damage they would normally take as a result of the special move actions,'Y WIPE-OUTS Being rammed or sideswiped off of the board fa vehicle is targeted by an offensive special move action and cannot be placed as described by the move action because the space specified is off of the board the vehicle is considered wiped-out.

If this happens determine the effect of the pile-up before removing the vehicle from play. a aa wenty years is a long time to go without road maintenance. The Devil's Run is aptly named and not just because of the other gangers. Post-apocalyptic roads are a mess of wrecks, debris and neglect. Mother Nature has also started to reclaim | what once was hers. Road obstacles are divided into four types each of which have their own rule sets: Scrub - Any vehicle that starts its move action in a Scrub square has a MM of 1. Debris - When a vehicle enters a debris square, it must complete an E test. If the test is failed the vehicle loses 1 CP with no A test allowed. Any vehicle that starts its move action in a Debris square has a MM of 1. Wrecks - When a vehicle enters a wreck square it must complete an E test. If the test is failed the vehicle loses D3 CP which can be saved as normal. Any vehicle that starts its move action in a Wreck square has a MM of 1. Wrecks block Line of Sight. Impassable Features - Any vehicle that enters an Impassable feature square is instantly wrecked with its primary location on the Impassable feature square (hence cannot attempt a Repair action). Although instantly wrecked, the vehicle still causes damage as normal in an offensive move action. Impassable features above road level such as barriers, bridge supports etc. block Line of Sight. Impassable features below road level such as rivers or fissures do not block Line of Sight.OVERVIEW he Mission section is divided into two parts and includes a total of 8 missions. Each mission can be played in isolation, but they have also been designed to play as a narrative, with each previous mission affecting those that come subsequently. Introduction Missions lhe two introduction missions are designed to give both players an understanding of each of the two main aspects of the game, namely racing (moving) and battling (ramming and shooting). It is recommending in the first play of these missions you only use a small number of vehicles, but if you are an experienced player feel free to up the vehicle count. Runs (Main Missions) the main missions are called runs, and as mentioned above, they are designed to be played either in isolation or as part of an ongoing campaign. Throughout the Runs you will be introduced to characters, different weapons and special vehicles. Special mission rules are also introduced and the vehicle count will gradually be increased. Optional Rules Environmental Cards: There are a number of cards in your deck that represent the environmental variability of a post-apocalyptic roadway. These cards can be used in any mission. To do so shuffle your entire Environmental Cards into one deck and place them upside-down next to the board. At the beginning of each turn reveal the topmost card and read the text. The effect is in play until the beginning of the next turn when a new environmental card is revealed. Other Vehicles - Each mission specifies the vehicles and characters that should be played in each mission, but if you want to add more vehicles to your game this can easily be done. There are lots of expansion packs for Devil's Run that you can get from your local friendly gaming store or from the Word Forge Games website (word/orgegames.com), or alternatively raid your toy car collection. Devil's Run has been designed to scale perfectly with any 20mm (1/64-72) scale toy car. Just make sure that the two sides are roughly balanced by making sure the $ values of each gang are roughly similar.DASH TOME STASHS Mission Description: The ‘Haul’s Angels and the Law ‘Haulage Company are out on the open road in a breakneck race to be the first to reach a newly focated stash. ‘The first gang to get there and claim it, gets the loot; but only if they can keep hold of it. ‘It’s time to race against the Devil on Route 666...
