Anvil Industry: Afterlife: The Shards of Liberty Kickstarter Launched


Anvil Industry: Anvil Industry is proud to launch Afterlife, our new 28mm scale tabletop wargame. A near-future Earth burns as the civilization built by the Unity Council collapses into civil war. The hyper-cities built to house billions in an era of peace have become brutal warzones. Corporations, emergent nation states, popular resistance movements and other factions battle for power, resources, wealth, or simply survival. Check the Kickstarter here.

Afterlife Volume One: The Shards of Liberty charts the first major battles in the Afterlife Narrative, following three elite Republic strike teams as they launch a surprise attack into the heart of Unity Council territory. With this Kickstarter we aim to create a wide range of brand new miniatures, manufactured in the UK to the highest possible quality standards, alongside an innovative and exciting new rules system and expanding series of narrative missions, allowing you to fight out the battles in Afterlife on your tabletop.


With your support, we will be able to create an expansive new range of high quality, hand cast resin gaming figures, and complete development of the game system. We will work hard to make Afterlife an incredible gaming experience, and with your help we can do much more. Thank you for your support!


Afterlife is a 28mm scale game using D10 mechanics and an alternating activation system which keeps both players constantly involved in the action. Missions will vary a lot, but a typical game might see each player control 30-50 miniatures each, fighting across a 4'x4' game table. 


The rules are designed to be simple and allow for fast game play. Using Units in combination will often yield the best results. Rules include detection mechanics, detailed rules for fighting in buildings, command orders, a pinning system, special character options, electronic warfare, air strikes and much more! 


We will be posting an update with a more detailed rules summary soon. We will be releasing the game rules PDF publically before the end of this Kickstarter, so you will have a chance to look at the system in detail. We will also be releasing a free rules update to all backers incorporating your feedback and suggestions.
