I just thought that I would post a couple of pictures from a recent game using the Rattrap Games rules set. The gamers included Ryan (UncleRhino) playing the survivors, Chuck (cwchmc) playing the corporate hit team, Dan playing the special forces and myself with the task of playing over 50 slow moving but resilient zombies.

It was close, two of the survivors and one of the corporate hit team along with the scientist (mission goal) made is off the game board some what intack.

Highlights from the game: After the special forces team was pinned down by wave upon wave of zombies, last marine took out a quarter of of the hoard by shooting into a large propane tank, which created a chain reaction with the nearby gas station.

The survivors trapped on a rooftop, seeing others to rescue them, climbed down the fire escape in the alley, thanks to the biker with the shotgun in the group.

The ruthless corporate hit team leader did not care if the rest of team survived as long as could obtain his target, which he did in grand style.

Fun game with plenty of encounters, including zombie dogs.

I thought .45 Adventures might work for a zombie game. So you played the GM along with the zombies? or did you act as a faction? Nice encounter marker by the way. Very well done all around.

Looks pretty good. I actually never thought about using.45 for a zombies game. But maybe that is because of the amount of models that we like to bring to the table. How fat sis the game go? I know our zombies games normally take around 5 to 6 hours.

Interestingly, our Zombies always also seem to be standing on the rooftops of buildings. It's likewise good to see that zombies games are quite liberal in the miniatures that seem to want to participate.

I'd also like to see a few more shots of the Zs. They look quite good.

Thanks for posting!

Very nice! Where is the terrain mat from?

Could you share any character sheets, I'd quite fancy trying .45 rules for a zombie game.

Thanks all! It was a fun game using the .45 rules. The zombies were 1/2 grades and could only be killed with a kill shot to the hea

I will find the miniatures pics and the character sheets and link them up.
The zombie dogs are from the Bag o Zombie Dogs from the Zombies board game. I believe that there were 100 zombie dogs included.
The game only took about 3 hours to play and achieve the scenario goal.
Chuck gets all of the credit for the terrain and the markers. Hopefully he is reading this and will be able to post more details.

Well off to work for now.

Looks very nice! I don't know the ruleset but I understand that you made a scenario and thought up some spcial occurences yourself (propane taknk blowing up and such)?

I have the excel sheets, but I can not figure how to post them. Sorry.

The propane tank and the gas station explosion were for dramatic effect... very cinematic!

Great set of rules and I highly recommend them.

Chambers - if I send a PM would you mind send the XLS that way?

myincubliss · « **Reply #13 on:** July 21, 2009, 12:57:02 PM »

There's some zombis that I didn't see in the folder, like the guys in the third photo down - where are they from? conversions, maybe?

kidterminal · « **Reply #14 on:** July 21, 2009, 10:39:22 PM »

The zombie dogs painted up much better than I expceted. I saw the bag '0 zombie dogs in the plastic so to speak years ago and didn't thing they would look this nice painted. Well done Sir.
