New Scenario - Survive The Horde

[Mechanik]

I made this one up on the fly last night at my weekly session. It may need tweaking, but it was fun as hell. Basically ever since I bought some purple and black zombie minis from the Flying Frog website I wanted to just go crazy and use them all, so we did :-)

Zombie Horde 35 (yes you read that right), Zombies Autospawn = 16 points for zombies

Starting Hero Cards 5, Survival Decks, Heroes Replenish, Well Stocked Buildings, Free Search Markers, Barricades = 16 points for humans

The scenario is simple. Setup the board as normal. Zombies must kill 4 Heroes before dawn.

We played it and it was PURE CARNAGE. Humans barricaded up in the Gun Shop with some hunting rifles and pump shotguns, and that held the zombies up for a while. Zombies managed to overrun the barricades and kill one hero. I think we set a record for number of zombies killed with one shotgun blast at 14. The surviving heroes narrowly escaped the remaining dozen or so zombies through the sewers to the Plant (which had a First Aid stockpile on it). Then we used the Sam/First Aid Kit combo to keep the barricades up long enough to run the timer out.

That sounds really fun, simple yet effective

Now all i need is 35 zombies

I really enjoy scenarios that are just simply killing zombies or defending a point. A lot better than having to spend half the game searching.

In a pinch, just use any old counter. I admit though it's not quite as fun though when you move pennies around the board while making zombie noises.

Hi Mechanik. So....I was so amazed at your simple Killing Spree fun scenario idea. I sort of expanded on it. 35 Zombies, I cant wait !

I created a scenario called Taking Back Woodinvale, using the 35 Zombie Idea.

I'll take a look.

After some playtesting we are going to modify it a bit. Basically, the Heroes were rather overpowered. Seeing how FFP revamped Hero Starting Cards in Survival of The Fittest, we modified the scenario to use those rules instead.

Depending on further playtesting we may or may not reduce the Zombie victory condition to killing 2 heroes.

I really like this scenario to the point that I made a snazzy scenario card for it.

How are you guys finding the balance? We haven't played much lately so I haven't playtested this further.
