Glad I could ~~enable~~ help.

Finally managed to carve out some hobby time and among other things, took some photos of a couple ZONA ALFA characters: Zone Guide Yuri Bonyev, the mysterious 'Marked One' and a Bloodsucker.

Oh and I found this the other night:

Some how I have missed this post.
Had a great time reading and enjoyed it all.
I have not had my LAM figures out to play for ages.
That will change.

Look forward to Zona Alfa when it comes out.

Nice looking rulebook cover! It is good to see the game closes to it's imminnent release.

I especially like the look of the first character, and bloodsucker looks convincingly menacing for his role too.

Added Zona Alpha to my xmas wishlist. Well... my birthday wishlist. I suppose this is one place where having a birthday mid-January is beneficial!

It's like an artifact; so close, yet so far away...

Love that first figure - is that a LAM mini with a Pig Iron head by any chance? I think I have both but had not thought of combining them. Looks ace.

Dentatus · « **Reply #67 on:** May 14, 2019, 01:25:23 PM »

Yes, that's exactly what it is. He's my team leader/crew boss and I thought it worked nicely.

Consider that idea well and truly stolen.

Cool terrain, the painting and how it is put together is awesome.

Where did you get the miniatures?

I meanwhile finished my postapocacy pc case - so yesterday has been the first ignition, unfortunately the screen remained pitch black

Cheers LBS

Thanks.

Most of the miniatures are from here, Lead Adventure's 'Last Project' line. Others are minor mods of various ranges, including modern Soviet/Russians. In fact, I've got a small order of eBay bitz and Assault Group figs on the way right now.

And I take it you're building a computer?

Raid on Refinery Number 3

Large ZONA ALFA game last Friday night as a handful of the Cape Cod Wargame Commission met for Chinese take out and a quick salvage run into the Exclusion Zone. Other Pat managed to break away from baby duty to join Max, John, myself, and a visitor from Virginia, Drew K for a few hours.

Three Hot Spots with salvage. (I use dummy 7.62 rounds to mark the objectives.) Two commanders with three squads per side. Each squad was comprised of a Veteran Leader and two Hardened Troopers, with RPK and Sniper specialists in the mix.

We set a 6 Turn Limit and this being a demo game, the unit compositions were identical. The Zone Hostiles pre-determined also: Rats, Zombies and a Blood Sucker.

Turns One and Two unfolded in a very straightforward manner; each side advanced across a wide front with squads homing in on the objective areas dead ahead. The chatter of AK’s echoed across the deserted base as squads traded fire.

Along with the rifle rounds, Max and Drew threw bolts to trigger the Hots Spots. The intention was to have the Zone Hostiles spawn closer to Other Pat and John’s crews to keep them busy while they rushed in and claimed the loot. A good plan that only half worked.

On one side, Rodents of Unusual Size popped out from behind a dumpster on the wrong side of the concrete wall and headed straight for Drew’s squad leader. Oops. Bad throw, comrade.

Meanwhile in the refinery a pack of Zombies lurched out of the shadow of an oil tank and began shuffling toward Other Pat’s crew. Fortunately for him, his trooper had remembered to bring grenades.

A sweet underhand lob nabbed all four of the zombies but while Other Pat and John dealt with the undead, ( and a lucky burst of AK fire) Drew and Max scrambled in and claimed the salvage. Eyes on the prize, gentlemen.

That was the turning point. With the hour getting late and two out of three objectives claimed, everyone decided to call it quits for the night. Good game all around.

Many thanks to Other Pat’s wife and newborn daughter who let us borrow him for the evening, to John and Max for gaming twice in one week. (oh, the sacrifice!) and Drew K for spending precious vacation time to hang out, roll dice, and push toy soldiers around the table.

Patrick,
What is the current ETA for the arrival of Zona Alfa?

Hi Nick,

According to Amazon, the release date is Jan 2020.

Ah, okay I think I can hold on until then.
