Had my first game on the city board last saturday (wich i made a couple days earlier), and a first try of converting the terminator genesys rules to a zombie game. Went pretty well, but zombies turned out a tad to hard!
scenario was :
Police barricade on the outskirts of town, trying to contain the zombies. A swat team out on a patrol beyond the roadblock, crashes into a car containing a rag tag team of survivors (wth our hero max). Can they make it to the barricade and pull back with the rest of the police before the roadblock is overrun?
the table looked like this:
roadblock at the bottom, zombie herd on top.
the patrol and the survivors, next to their crashed vehicles (opposite corner of the board to the roadblock):
a herd swarming onto the board left of 'the car crash'
Cindy Chainsaw knocks down the closest zombie
seeing the herd at the end of the street, the group decided to go for the safety of the house
the officers at the barricade knock over just one zombie with long range fire
while a zombie from a nearby building stumbles out intotheir flank, but misses
he gets knocked down, but doesn't die (again)
soul man puts down a zombie while retreating to the house...
and promptly gets rushed by a second one, who caught him off guard. how long before he turns on his former buddies?
cindy chainsaw avenges him, while our hero max goes into base contact and grants mercy to his buddy (movng into base contact stops a dead survivor from turning)
all the noise draws more zombies from the herd
meanwhile the main herd is closing on the barricade (and in the right bottom corner of the pic, you can see they are still trying to put the zombie who surprised them down)
more zombies are drawn to the survivor group, now appearing from the other side of the street
barricade still being plagued by surprise zombie
our hero decides to use his command ability to activate his friends at the start of the turn...
... to get them inside before the zombies swarm them
only problem is that they are now trapped!
the guys at the barricade are getting pretty nervous!
trying to clear one side of the building doesn't go well, and an officer goes down.
someone goes in to stop him from turning
and now more zombies turn up here as well
and time's running out (surprise zombie still hanging on!)
start of the turn and both our hero max and the swat sergeant use their command abilities, activating 6 models at once
surprise zombie finally gets squished...
and our hero blasts a zombie in the face with his shotgun (and creates an escape opportunity on the side of the house)
while cindy chainsaw goes in to assist the cop struggling to hold the zombies out
meanwhile some nifty shooting at the barricade eliminates the closest threath
our group decides to leave before the opportunity s lost
zombies are already swarming in
only good news is that,on this turn, the new zombies arrive on the other side of the table
police is dong their best to keep the barricade zombie -free
max uses his command ability again
he and the sherrif make it out, but cindy tries to do the right thing and help the officer
while the other officer follows our hero
they will have to hurry!
cindy chainsaw pays dearly for her heroic actions!
our heroes see that they can't save the last policeman
and using his command ability again...
...max and co leg it to the barricade
the officer screaming in the distance
everone goes for the trucks as the barricade is about to be overrun
They made it, but not without getting in trouble!
Fairly hard to put the zombies down, will have to tinker with the stats a bit more. Was a fun game though!! Very tense and fun scenario!
