World War Z Max Brooks: Great resource.

[Commander Vyper]

So half way through WWZ (bought it Sunday). Have to say lots of good ideas in there.

Best one so far is the idea of Phase One Alpha Teams: Delta Force dropped in to hunt G's/Zacks (zombies to you and I).

Troopers in full chem/bio suits, (before they realised that the virus wasn't airborne).

Lobo: the lobotomiser; standard issue trenching tool, (cross between a shovel and a double headed axe!).

Gunna have a lot of fun with this, once I've got my nasty nazis painted up of course!

The Commander

I enjoyed the book. The downed pilot could make a pretty good scenario as well. Though it wouldn't leave much room for a lot of players. Maybe it could be played solo?

Some good scenarios all round, siege of Windsor with the Hasslefree Queen Lizzie and possibly the dog corps with corgis. A good read

[Deathwing]

I've gotten quite a few ideas from that book.

I agree!!

I read that book last year, and was surprised to find his Zombie Survival Guide in my stocking this year!

That is good fun!

I thought the authors name was familiar, I have the zombie survival guide, I shall have to look out for the above.

I've only got about 50 pages left and have really enjoyed it.  A couple of my students have now read the Survival Guide and are now zombie-o-philes.  And people think Physics teachers are dorks!  ::

Read the book and listened to the audio book

I would like to do the battle of yonkers

It would really intresting haveing to figure ammo and supplies for the troops

As well as keeping their cool with a horde of zombies coming at them

While I agree the book has some excellent ideas for inspiration...I thought the book as a whole was crap.  Far too repetitive.  I really struggled to finish it.  Really hard for me to care at all about any of them.

Also, never fully enjoyed the arbitrary nature of Brooks' zeds.

I was delighted to read a chapter about German Panzergrenadiers valiantly defending the streets of Hamburg

[Deadspace1]

Absolutely loved it! One of the few zombie books to make me feel as if I were reading a history book! The up coming film however.....not so keen....

[Brummie Thug]

The book and audiobook are both excellent, If you like zombies you will like this.

The movie I'm just going to ignore its title and treat it as something new.

[Ruther]

Hmm i found it an ok read but thought it was way over hyped. I prefer the day by day armageddon books (at least the first 2 i read) as its more into the post apocalyptic survival theme.

Five years old thread and someone resurrects it... oh well, you know zombies
