From BoardGameGeek

Welcome to Bloodstone, a booming and lawless frontier town where danger lurks, and fortune corrupts. Dead by Lead is an immersive experience that transports you to the untamed world of the Old West. Prepare for epic showdowns, compelling campaign play, and etch your name in the annals of history. In this thrilling miniatures skirmish game, will your gang become notorious gunslingers on a quest for glory or nameless corpses in a shallow grave? With every step, you'll encounter opportunities, but only the quick and the cunning will survive. Do you have what it takes to rise above the rest and build a legendary gang? Immerse yourself in Bloodstone's open world, brought to life through your miniatures and scenery. Engage in heart-pounding shootouts, daring robberies, and high-stakes jailbreaks. With intuitive game mechanics designed to capture the tension and excitement of the Old West, Dead by Lead delivers Western skirmish in bold new ways. What's in the book: A complete set of skirmish rules Detailed character and gang creation Ongoing campaign rules Six gameplay scenarios What do you need to play? Six to twelve Western miniatures or figurines to represent your gang of characters. One twelve-sided (d12) and several six-sided dice (d6) for each player. A tape measure or ruler for measuring distances in inches. A standard deck of playing cards. Dead by Lead is best suited to a flat 3' x 3' playing area to represent the battlefield. Various western terrain or model scenery (red dirt, train tracks, rivers, rocks, city buildings and crates) for visual and tactical interest. A pencil and tokens to help you keep track of various game mechanics. We recommend using six-sided dice as counters, as several dice are easier to manage than a score of tokens.
