[AKULA]

Looks like a fun game - thanks for posting.

Looks to have been a good game, but why, oh why, did the Duke have to bite it?

[Pil]

He got too close, I actually 'killed' him off as I was rolling for the zombies attacking him 

It was a very nice game, as for the survivor models:

The three Savages are converted from EM4 models:

The one with the chainsaw is 0031, the one with the big hair is 0026 and the one with the mask is 0024 with a head, weapon and arm swap.

(no pics of the other models yet I'm afraid)

The guy in the yellow suit is trooper 0019 in NBC suit:

And the Duke is EM4 rebel 0076:

We used the rules from Combat Zone to keep everything easy and it worked very well. The zombie rules are (again) the rules that Pil has written and can be found in the combat zone chronicles.

We used Combat Zone rules. Every survivor was a veteran with ablative/primitive armour (+1 Toughness), other than that they were armed with whatever they had their hands on. All pistols were heavy pistols, models without ranged weapon and models without CC weapons were assumed to have one heavy pistol and one knife (in addition to what they had). Shotguns were counted as auto-shotguns, chainsaws were counted as axes when used single-handedly (Ash) or as an axe and a knife when used with both hands (my chainsaw dude). Guns were rather limited, two models had autoshotguns and I believe one had an SMG (2D8 damage, Short range 20 cm and long range 70 cm, Rate of Fire 3). The zombies were using my "Zombies in the Zone rules":

With new zombies appearing on every roll of 1 to hit. There was no zombie player (they just moved to the nearest target) and only zombies within 50cm of a model moved. Also, zombies that couldn't see anything or were in odd places (on top of buildings) didn't move unless provoked in some way.

In the armoury every model could spend a turn to stock up. Stocking up gave a model flak armour (+2 toughness instead of +1), and an assault rifle or combat shotgun. There were also one Machine gun and one Recoilless rifle for whoever got there first.

The game was immensely fun. The two things that made the game extra cool for me were:
1. the size of the table, an 8x4 table really gives you the sense that you can go anywhere you want.
2. the number of players. There were 6 players in the game and all had at least one survivor until the end of the game so there was a lot of interaction going on.

Good report and lovely looking game.

Here is another shot of some of the survivors. These are sold by Griffin miniatures and were already fearyred in the LPL this year.

Love that massive pile of stuff on that Rambo-fellow's back.

He got too close, I actually 'killed' him off as I was rolling for the zombies attacking him 

Technically, I suppose it was the zombies that were doing the biting . Well he lasted about as long as he does when I play as him on that "plug n' play" (?) difficulty.

Excellent battle report and a great collection of survivors.

[Raz]

Looks like a brilliant game guys! The table is awesome Chris Any chance of another of these in the near future for my men to participate in?

Thanks for the great battle report! What prompted the shootout between the Goth Girl and the Priest?

[Pil]

The priest just started shooting, then of course the goth returned fire.

There were some grudges during the game, even though we were cooperating sometimes another player kills your men with zombies and you can't wait to repay the favour

I would certainly hope so! I already started building the world works terain. The "Hollywood flats" are dead easy to build. (including cutting them out, 1 episode of  Earth Final Conflict for building one. Then again buikling one fire escape took me four episodes...

Building one is ready, number two will be done in a day or two

[Glitzer]

Nice battle report, nice city terrain. Makes me want to finish my own instead of learning for my exams...
