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):

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!

Interesting AAR. So why did you choose Genisys as a rules system?
-
The more i play, the more i like it. Easy to remember, fast to play.
I must admit i tend to play more games with measuring templates lately. Removes the fuss a bit. Like the song and blades family, x wing etc...

Terrific board and minis.

The amount of photos gave a good feeling for the relentlessness of the zombies. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks!

Yes they always keep coming, just like they should!

Cool looking game.
The zombies just would not stop coming.
I like that.
-
Nice write up and all the photos too, I agree all those Zombies that just kept coming really puts the pressure on the survivors.
Thanks for sharing the game :)
