Cheers all:
Game Two:
Canned Meat.Smith looked out of the side window as the humvee he was in bounced along the deserted streets of Hope’s End.
‘So why are we going back then sarge? Didn’t we just leave this party?’‘A group of around 20 survivors got into the mall and barricaded themselves in after the evacuation order was given. The mayor’s wife and daughter are in there’. Sigma and Gamma squads have been ‘requested’ to go in there and secure the area for further evac.‘Yeah but the whole place is swarming with zed’s!!! How do we even know their still ok in there? What if one of them got bit sir? It only takes one bite sir, you KNOW that?'Stevens joined in…‘I didn’t make it this far to become ghoul food for the sake of some local politician’s dumb ass family!’I say again….Sigma and Gamma squads have been ‘requested’ to go in there and secure the area for further evac soldier do I make my self crystal clear?Sir, yes sir. At least the humvee’s will get us in and out quick!‘I’d be much happier in one of those damn turtleback’s. What did the quartermaster mean, ‘they’re not back from the shop yet?’ Damn engineers how long does it take to refit these anyway….As the pair of humvees headed up mainstreet the zombies were on the move. Stevens through his sight could see them heading towards the main entrance, with more and more moving towards the shutters. ‘Those won’t hold for ever…. Canned meat, he thought to himself…. And chuckled, before looking up at the canvas roof of the humvee and swallowed hard.
Sgt Deter turned to his radio operator.
'Pack, get gamma on the radio, I have an idea…..'The Game:After the evacuation withdrawal, a group of around 20 survivors managed to get to the mall and barricaded themselves in. They were able make contact with the military and requested aide.
They would have been left to fend for themselves, if for the fact that the mayor’s wife and daughter were amongst the survivors.
Zombies were massing on the shuttered entrances and barricades. It was only a matter of time till they got in.
Two squads with humvees have been ordered to go in there and secure the area for further evac of the survivors.
The Army:Military forces have been instructed to sweep and clear the area of zombies, main priority of the mission is to secure the ‘package’ and survivors and await for pickup.
Sigma squad- 4 troopers in NBC gear (4 automatic weapons with scopes +1).
1 humvee
Gamma squad - 4 troopers in NBC gear (1 SAW, 1 Missile launcher, 3 automatic weapons).
1 humvee
The Survivors:Not visible for the purposes of the game. Basically, if the barricades and shutters don’t hold, everyone inside the Lion’s mall is zombie food.
Note: (The each shutter was been given a +25 defence against a ‘close combat’ attack. Meaning that there needs to be a large number of zombies present in order to physically overpower the defences. Basically one zombie rocking the shutters will do nothing but 20+ and there’s a chance that the Mall will be open for business!).Memorable moments:Road Traffic accident: 
Gamma squad took the direct approach, running down 13 zombies on their way to the Mall, and throwing their humvee into the jersey barriers to block the main entrance to the parking area.
Sigma shot left passed the petrol station, sending Brock’s chopper bike flying into the air and taking out a couple of zombies as it landed!
Sweep and Clear: 
Gamma's move held up the onslaught long enough for Sigma to clear the entrance to the Mall.
Though it was a close call as by the time they engaged the zombies there were around 30 or so on the shutters and another 40 odd heading towards both squads. On the next zombie turn they would have been in the mall and it would have meant game over.
Result: Victory for Sigma and Gamma, survivors and package secured. No loss of life. NBC suits were nibbled a bit in close combat but no one was bitten.
Next up: Mall front completed.
