Hello all, just a quick line to tell you that episode three of our wierd war two campaign was played out last Thursday at the Mid Somerset Wargames club.

THE ZOMBIE-BLITZ OF LONDON

As you may know Auton and I have 6 games scheduled for this season.

Here is the link

Enjoy

Thanks guys, setting the game up was great fun, and we are lucky to have a good crew playing the agents :-* :-*

I must give full credit to Auton, my co-conspirator for his help and encouragement.

I've just added the stats for Winston Churchill's character

Great stuff! I really love that London feel you made, and the V-rockets are awesome. I wish the pics were bigger to catch some more detail. Keep it up!

Hi Midismirnoff - just for you...

This game was prepared to a deadline as some of the players are emigrating!  :-[
There is a reason for not shooting pics too close 8)



Notice the 'Made in Hong Kong' relief! lol



Anyone spot where the skull label came from?

Excellent stuff! Love the Zombie Bombs. What a great way to bring the action to the British.

So how many episodes left in this Weird War? I need to find out who wins!

The original plan was for 6 episodes. To my regret two of the main gamers are emigrating next year, so I'm hoping to squeeze in three more episodes very soon.

It looks like Number 4 will be a raid on the secret base of Sonderbuero 13 - I have the tunnels built and some other nasty surprises for our heroes, S.O.F.A. will need to recruit a couple more agents to replace the losses, any suggestions?

I thought about a Free French Yvette...........
