"In July 1st 1944, Germany's new government, the SWD, decided to use a newly developed nerve gas against Allied troops in Normandy.

As things span out of control, groups of dedicated survivors continue the war against all odds."


The story used the interesting turn of event from Secret of the Third Reich and is played using THW ATZ-FFO rules. The miniatures range from Artizan, Bolt Action, Westwind and other sources.

There have been 7 scenario played, the first showing the beginning of the zombie apocalypse unleashed from all side  : Allied, Germans and French civilians/resistants.

Scenario 1: First Bat Rep (French)
A young French is going to the woods aft
er a weird German bombing...[/i]

Nice campaign! Those AAR of yours make for some great reading.

Just a quick question. How did you do the bunker entrance?

Thanks guys.

Nice campaign! Those AAR of yours make for some great reading.

Just a quick question. How did you do the bunker entrance?

I bought the following item:
Basicks Terrain - Infantry: Small Missile Silo
(commercial link where I bought it: http://frpgames.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=89300#.Uh1o3j8X6vg) Note: I recall buying it cheaper.

I then painted the ground brown, dry brushed sand and added tall grass (don't remember the brand, it was from a model train shop).
The concrete was German Grey (Valejo), followed by dry brush on Neutral Grey (Valejo) and I added Devlan mud on few areas to simulate oil leaking.

It has a good hatch, a-la "Lost" feeling:

Love your settings and tutorial, but I have to say that real photo up there from the War really rips my heart out.

(not trying to be a bummer, just an observation) :'(

Hi Supervike,

Thanks for the comments.
I know the picture is heart breaking when you think about it, but it was intended to be in a Zombie context. I wanted to comment earlier and waited until the Incursion Kickstarter ended to avoid bringing noise during the last days.

Nice! Where did you get the death markers? They look like something I made a few years ago.
I wish I were a glowworm
'cause glowworms 're never glum
How can you be grumpy
When the sun shines out yer bum?

Almaric> Thanks!

Pijlie> I stole the idea from Anatoli, and use the markers also as Pin markers for Bolt Action :)
Simple transparent acrylic markers with red paint on them.

Episode 9 is coming.

The scenario will be about German Week 3. The German Heer is defecting due to the zombie apocalypse wreaking havoc in Germany, pushing usually disciplined soldiers to chose between waging war in Normandy beside evil SWD troopers, or heading home and saving their family in the process.

 The scenario will take place at the German base, and the lieutenant will need to gather supplies for the way home as well as soldiers and avoiding being caught by the SWD before they are ready to leave.

Special Rule: Being Caught Event (Heer German caught deserting) with interaction tables.

There may be the first appearance of the Nemesis project and there is 1 T-800 Cougar MenshPanzer.

Here is a view on the rules
