ATZ first game. Pre game plan and background now with AAR.

[gimzod]

Greetings everybody. Just about to do my first game of ATZ.

The game will be the start of my all things zombie campaign. The scenario?

Day five since first infection.

Riots have been reported for days now and what is responsible has finally reached public view despite what the government has been saying. Law and order has begun to break down as people began to flee the cities. Scotland has been hit the worst with several cities already lost to the growing zombie epidemic. The government has decided to begin evacuating from several safe zones created near the city’s. Several have to be established by the SAS and elements of the para’s are been flown in to guard them until the Scottish regiments can take over.

Corporal Ewan Thomson of the Manchester air core is flying a squad of the sixth para’s ( both units have been made up by the way.) to a farm outside of St’Andrews to link up with the SAS squad guarding the place. Contact has been lost but in the current state that isn't unusual. Secure the site and locate the SAS team.

The two groups are team lynx lead by a fictional version of me consisting of (from left to right.)

Nat level 5 grunt. Alex level 4 grunt. Ewan level 5 star. Gareth level 4 grunt and Steel level 4 grunt.

The para’s on the other hand have turned out much worse. I did not make up these results up.

They basically are a level 5 star in the center, level 5 veteran with the Light machine gun on the far right and three level 3 recruits.

Setting the scene.

The rain was slowly bearing down on the windscreen of the lynx helicopter. Inside the para squad where making the final checks on their weapons. No one was speaking they were two busy wrapped up in there thought’s. No one could get the images they’d seen on the news out of there head. The dead were returning to life and attacking the living. Back at Manchester the situation was contained for now but the reports from Scotland where worse than they could have hoped for and now that contact had been lost with the team on the ground none of them felt safe.

In the cockpit Corporal Ewan and his co-pilot Nat sat in silence apart from the noise from the helo. “ Helo 7734 calling haggis come in.” Nat said into the radio. The static that came back was the answer they dreaded. “ Looks like there gone boss. What do we do now.” She asked over the helo coms.
“We land and secure the sight, it what are orders are. Besides the weather getting worse and I don’t want to try and fly back in the dark.” He replied. She simply nodded in reply as the helo began to lower from the sky. A final click of weapons as the helo touched down in the bogy field.

 “ Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Scotland. Let go we have zombies to kill.” Ewan yelled as he stepped out of his helo. Through the pouring rain he could see shapes moving through the rain. He tightened his grip on his rifle and moved towards the farm buildings.

Will post the AAR as soon as it done.

AAR

Turn 1 Lynx 1,para, 3 zombies 6


The paras sprint for the farm house opening fire on the closet unit of zombies and killed one out right and sent another spinning to the floor.

Team lynx stayed near the helo to provide covering fire.  The zombies stay where they are mostly due to the pouring rain covering the noise.

Turn 2 Lynx 4, paras 5, zombies 6


A zombie shuffles out of the barn but can't see the paras due to the rain.

Nat and Ewan fire at the small group to the south and open up the heads of the last two. The para shred the newly arrived zombie and turn their attention to the group to the south.

Turn 3 Lynx 2,paras 4, zombies 3


No new zombies arrived as the zombies began to surge towards the army.

Gareth opened fire and killed two of the approaching horde with Nat and Steel dropping another two. The paras opened fire and killed four of the approaching horde.

Turn 4 Lynx 3, paras 6, zombies 4


No new zombies arrived, but the paras froze in place as the horde approached. Alex dropped the last of the zombies to the south whilst Nat, and Ewan fire opened fire at the group at the south east but only killed one.

Turn 5. Lynx 1, Paras, 4 zombies 4


Two new zombies arrived near team lynx and began to move towards them.

The paras fixed bayonets and charged the approaching hoard. The sergeant downed two without breaking a sweat, but the veteran and the rookie fared worse as the zombies caused the rookie to go down.



Ewan dropped the two approaching zombies in the military uniforms.

 Nat and steel saw the paras in trouble and charged into help. Nat having the brawler attribute easily downed her zombie whilst Steel snapped the zombies neck saving the downed para.

Turn 6. Lynx 2 Veterans group 6 Paras 3 Zombies 6


A single lone zombie wondered down the road as the paras assess the situation.

 The paras sergeant leads his men to search the buildings whilst the veterans group stay where they are to help the downed para who has a nasty gash on his head.

Ewan leads his group to investigate the crashed land rover and drops the zombie with one shot.

Turn 7 Lynx 2 Veterans group 4 Paras 3


No new zombies arrive as the group continued the search. Ewan’s group searched the land rover finding the keys till in the ignition and a small pool of blood in the back seat.

The paras group find some food in the building whilst the veterans group search the tall building but find nothing.

Turn 8. Lynx 4, Veterans group 5, Paras 3


Veterans group continued the search of the building finding a lone rep 2 civilian on the top floor. Faced with four armed soldiers she joins the group in a heartbeat. Though she can't speak English well she tells them the other soldiers brought her here, but they left some time ago. Puzzled the soldiers decided to call it a day and plan their next move.
