Tonight at the FLGS, some friends and I played another zombie game using Akula's rules, which can be found here:
http://akulasrules.blogspot.co.uk/ . It was a great success. Here are a few photos from the evening, with comments both from me and from some of the other players.
The Axemurder family at home. Colonel Peregrine, Earl Axemurder, Celia, Lady Axemurder (nee McStabberson), the Dowager Countess Letitia 'Gran' Axemurder, Daisy and Brian 'Aziz' Collins, with the Colonel's beloved jallopy in the drive of Axemurder Hall.
"I say, dear; looks like a spot of zombies."
"Dashed bad show, dear. Aziz; bring Daisy in from the garden."
"I'm sorry, my lady; Daisy seems to have run off."
"Well, dash it all. I suppose we'll just have to hop in the jalopy and go looking for her, what."
The McCletus family, on their ancestral homestead. Left to right: Young Billiam, Paw, Maw (with baby), Drunky, Junior.
Drunky was the only family casualty during the game, although Junior got bit and would eventually zombify. Of Drunky it was said: "He died as he lived. Drunk behind the wheel of a motor vehicle."
Task Force Bravo: Major Fuller, Dr Walsh, Private Alvarez.
The situation at the start of play.
ROW ROW ROW! A zombie dog tries to get friendly with Drunky McCletus. This is a mistake. He knows how to use that shovel.
The hillbillies commandeer superior transport.
Having retrieved Daisy, the Axemurders creep along a back street, out of sight of the zombies.
A tank zombie chases the fleeing Private Alvarez into an abandoned shop.
Our fourth team, the criminal element, successfully loot the freight yard during the chaos and scarper, having lost only one of their number to a zombie bite.
As before, Akula's Rules provided a fun, fast-moving, tense zombie experience. I'm now interested in trying out some of the other variants!
