Bought the .pdf today (will buy a hard copy once one reaches my LGS).

I like what I see! I kept going through looking for the gigantic list of points and options and the single page of: "here's 3 options - sort it out" is simplicity itself. I like. :)

For an Osprey book infamous for page limits you do seem to have packed a ton of information in.

Now if only there were some figures that'd be perfect for this book. There's a company with lead in the title... I just can't quite remember it...  :P

Thanks. I tried to trim the fat, keep it simple, and stay focused.

Good luck finding those miniatures. The struggle is real and I feel your pain.  ;)

Had our first game the other night.

Lots of fun to be had. The main lesson learnt was that no matter how good your troops, stick to cover - especially when outnumbered!  ;)

Not wanting to derail the thread, there's a write up of sort here - https://nozzawargaming.blogspot.com/2020/01/first-game-of-zone-alfa.html

Nice. Thanks for the write up.

Sorry about your Merc crew too. Bring smoke grenades next time.

There is a QRS and a Tactic Primer at the Stalker7 FB Group. (if you're on FB, willing to put up with FB)

The Zombie? Warlord Games. Project Z, I think.

Just ordered two copies of the book for myself and a mate.

As a traditional historical wargamer this is a new departure for me. I have a lot of ruined buildings from my WW1 games. Zona Alfa just seems a fun low commitment game to try. I also wondered if it could be adapted as a WW1 trench raiding game if say there is a ruined town between the lines? Seen 1917 twice now so you can see where I got that idea from!  lol

Great looking models. Lots of eye candy.

I have been a fan of Stalker and metro for a while. So I couldn’t resist getting the rules and like what I see. Now all I have to do is crack out my Stalker/Metro inspired minis and get a game in.
