About the Project
Empire of the Dead is one of those games I've always liked the look of but never gave it a chance. So I picked up the rules and a couple of factions. I just need some scenery

Catch Jack battle report
We had a go at the quick start scenario where Jack the ripper attempts to murder four of the ten civilians walking randomly around the city streets. In hot pursuit is sherlock and watson
There are three peelers patrolling the streets and are moved by whoever has the initiative. Should they spot criminal behaviour they come under the control of sherlock
Jack finds his first victims
Using his game is a foot ability sherlock gets a rush on leaving Watson with his dodgy knee behind
Jack is caught in a pub yard but sherlock underestimated Jack's knife ability and falls to his blade
Watson takes a shot but the bullet hits the lamp post and jack escapes with the organs of two victims making outr practice game a draw.
Our second game had the Bedlam brotherhood try and rescue their leader from the police. This ended up with a mass scrum with jack the ripper aiding the brotherhood. Peelers use net guns to subdue their enemies but ninja bob broke free. The brotherhood have some random abilities so can perform great or terribly leading to some fun moments. Our crook escaped after being released with the police in pursuit 
We then got together with some work colleague and played the games again. It was odd seeing some usually polite ladies suddenly shouting "stab her up" "slit that throat" I guess you never really know some people.
