Autospawn and certain zombie cards that deal with zombie pool.

[jatle]

If you get a zombie card that deals with zombies in the zombie pool can it still be used when using the zombies autospawn perk? (Technically there isn't a pool to pull from just zombies that auto spawn.)
I believe I read about this on BGG one time but now I can't find the thread.

Thanks for the help!

Wait, doesn't Autospawn only mean that you don't have to roll to check if you're spawning Zombies during the Roll to Spawn New Zombies step? But you still have to roll to determine how many Zombies to spawn in the Place Newly Spawned Zombies step? I don't think autospawn means you put all 14 zombies in play every turn...

I think I understand what your are asking but forgive me if I am off the mark.

First off you have to have zombies in your zombie pool to either place new zombies by auto spawn or by some card effects (ie "Surprise Attack").

Otherwise yes you may still place zombies on the board from your zombie pool by card effect even if you have zombie auto spawn.

Hope this helps and I hope I understood your question correctly.

You are correct Labrat. You do not have to roll to see 'if' you get new zombies, you just have to roll to see how many you get during the zombie spawn phase with Zombie Autospawn perk.

I could do with more info. I'm not quite sure of the question.

[jatle]

Ah! Our group has been doing autospawn incorrectly! This makes a hell of a lot more sense...

Thanks for clearing that up...

One follow up question...
If you are playing with zombie Horde and autospawn
do you roll another d6 like its another zombie pool?
Or does zombie horde only add more zombies if you get the proper cards.

If you're using Zombie Horde (21) and Zombies Autospawn it just means your Zombie Pool now has 21 Zombies in it and you still only roll 1D6 at the Spawning Zombies Phase.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the clarification! That was the final nail in our groups coffin of arguments.

errrr Hi, so using Horde and auto spawn. You start as in initial zombies with 3d6. When you spawn new zombies you roll 2d6.

Please circle 1 answer
Yes No Maybe

[LabRat]

If I remember correctly, if you're using Zombie Horde (21):
- When checking if you'll spawn new zombies, you roll 3d6 instead of 2d6.
- When actually spawning the zombies, you roll 1d6.

So if you're using Zombie Horde and Zombies Autospawn:
- No need to roll to check if you'll spawn new zombies.
- When actually spawning the zombies, you roll 1d6.

My group has tried the following with great success.
2x zombie horde
grave dead
grave weapons

6 heroes in play at a time.
Both sides use 20 ish dots
we figured one pool of 7 normal zombies per 2 heroes
it makes the games pretty intense. There are some scenarios that this wouldnt favor. (we have done it on save the townsfolk and the heroes actually won!)
