World War Z: Battle for Yonkers - Modified Flames of War
The Battle of Yonkers was the United States Military's first large scale, official engagement of the Zombie War. It took place in Yonkers, New York, a suburb of New York City (just north of the Bronx). The battle was an absolute catastrophe: if any one event can be singled out as the point when zombies officially became the dominant race on the planet, it was Yonkers.
Do you have what it takes to survive or will you become one of the undead masses?

Hey amonglions,
A nicely run event! It was great meeting you!
My father and I had a great time playing Chain of Command North Africa and How the West was Eaten.
Hopefully we'll be able to attend many more Broadsword events.

Was great meeting you Johnno,
I was hoping to catch you for a chat before you and your father left, but just got too busy.
Hope you guys had a good time. The Chain of Command game looked excellent and How the West was Eaten, looked equally impressive.
I'm glad I pushed the HP Lovecraft theme, I was initially rather trepidatious as I was worried it would push out the historical gamers, but we had an excellent showing from them too.
Sadly our next Broadsword show isn't until May 2017, but I'm going to be at KEGS and Council Fires, so hope to see you there.
Going to get the photos of the event up shortly.
Cheers.
