Hi, here is a scenario I/we been working on. It is a Horde type scenario. Please take a momnet to check it out. Ask any question, leave nasty or helpful comments 
Thank you
Overwhelmed
Its been a grueling gruesome past 28 hours. I don’t know how it started, it just did. The people of Woodinvale were taken by surprise when the dead started walking. But what town wouldn’t be surprised. A bunch of us gathered in Town, looking for help. Or at least some answers. For the most part the Town was quite. A bunch of us huddled in the Diner. A few of the townsfolk gathered a makeshift militia, and searched the town for survivors.
We made it to the Air Field. There were a couple of them wandering around, but we made quick work of them, finally putting them to rest. Once at the Hanger, someone managed to reach Timber Peaks on an old CB Radio. The old logging town had built some reinforced structures and was holding their own. They said they would send a Helicopter after dawn to rescue us. They also said, they would only land if it were safe.
We arrived back to town with a plan, a way out of this nightmare. There were 13 of us in total. Six of us still healthy and fit, an elderly couple, two were wounded from fighting, one ten year old and two littler ones. We started dragging old furniture, tires what ever we could to surround an area for the copter to land. Most of us we’re tied, exhausted, hungry, and frightened. We did what we could do and hoped for the best. Sure enough, about an hour past sunrise we could hear the constant thumping, a continuous sweet sound of modern machinery. We never said how many of us were stranded, and they never said how big, or small the helicopter was.
I guess all the noise was like a dinner bell. The “things” started coming from all direction, just one or two, then, a couple more. We quickly loaded the sick and elderly, then the little ones, and last the other kid. There was no room for the rest of us. The pilot agreed to come back for us, but it would take about 2 hours.
We started to realize our fate, but not yet understanding on how grave it may become.
The problem is, they almost didn’t make out of Woodinvale. The things, creatures… were everywhere. We had to shoot, kill, and kick them away, so the helicopter could take off. The Pilot, or who ever was fling it said “ If there was not a clear landing area, when we come back. We’re not pick you up” and I think he means it.
“…so, I find myself standing in the middle of town, waiting to get “picked up”. The sun is shining J and Zombies are everywhere! What a day L”
Turns: 12
(For a real time feel, each turn is 10 minutes, its 120 minutes, or 2 hours)
…but don’t try to play it in real time
Survival Tactics, Unique Items, Barricades, Well Stock, Free Search Markers, Extra Heroes, Card Pool
Horde x 4 (42), Grave Weapons, Zombie Pillage, Auto Spawn, Always Zombie Hero
SET UP (sorry, when developing this game SOTF was used)
Select 6 Heroes. Either all Random or all Selected.
Set up the Town Square ( with the wishing well ) and 4 random L boards.
The Zombie Player places 6 Barricades along any line on the Town Square. There are 9 lines on the Town Square Board. The Zombie Player places 6 barricades, 1 per line, on the Town Square board.
The Hero may Place 1 Barricade on a line, of the Town Square. Then place their Heroes anywhere on the Town Square board.
Draw 18 Hero Cards, 2 Unique Items and 2 Survival Tactics These cards can be assigned to any Hero
The Zombie Player then places random Free Search Marker in every building
BARRICADES and REINFORSEMENTS:
If you do not have barricades, improvise something or use a Lego Block J
Barricades may be built on the 9 lines of the Town Square.
Reinforcements may be gathered from any building. To gather reinforcement the Hero must Search in a building. Searching for Reinforcements, is gathering random items to make the barricade. No actual searching or drawing of Hero cards. After declaring searching for Reinforcements, place a Supply marker on the Hero’s Card. Any Hero can carry 1 reinforcement. When carrying 1 Reinforcements, the Hero’s movement is minus 1 to their movement. When carrying 2 Reinforcements, the Hero’s movement is minus 2 to their movement. A Hero may only carry 2 Reinforcement
To Create a new Barricade in the Town Square. Place any 3 Reinforcements on a line. Once 3 Reinforcements have been laid down. It instantly becomes a Barricade.
To Build a Barricade on a Building. A Hero must first roll a 4, 5 or 6 for movement. Instead of moving, they my build a barricade along any 1 wall they are touching.
To Reinforce a Barricade, add the reinforcement to the Barricade. A Barricade can have a maximum of 3 Reinforcements on it.
A Hero my “Exert” themselves to build a Barricade/Reinforcement, on a Building. To Exert themselves, at the end of a Heroes Turn, they may take a wound to build a barricade/reinforcement along any 1 wall they are touching.
BARRICADES – A Hero may cross any Barricade with out any additional movement loss.
Zombie MUST roll a 4+ to cross a Barricade.
If the Barricade has Reinforcements – The Zombie must roll a 4+ to remove 1 Reinforcement. Once all Reinforcements have been removed, the Zombie still needs to roll a 4+ to cross the Barricade.
A Zombie Hero must first roll for their movement, then make an addition roll to cross the Barricade.
If a Zombie tries to Cross a Barricade and fails, its movement has ended.
If 2 or more Zombies cross a Center Town Square Barricade in the same turn, the barricade is destroyed. (remove it from the board)
Heroes must spend a movement to remove Reinforcements before crossing the Barricade. Example; The Hero rolls a 5 If a hero is 2 spaces away from a barricade with 2 reinforcements– they will spend 2 movement to be in the same space as the barricade – they must spend 2 movements to remove the 2 reinforcements – with their final movement point, they may then cross the barricade.
ZOMBIE Spawning Rules
Normal Spawning Pits or added Pits are not Active.
Standard Horde Spawning Rules: 3d6 Starting Zombies, 2d6 for Spawning
Zombie spawn from any grassy or outside, outer edge of an L board. Every outer edge grassy/outdoor square is now considered a Spawning Pit. Spawning must be done evenly as regular during a Spawning action,
Winning.
The Heroes MUST have at least 2 Heroes on any square of the Town Square Boards, with NO Zombies in it, at the end of the 12th Turn.
Zombie Victory Condition; Kill 4 Heroes. No other conditions apply.

HERO
Extra Heroes (2) 10
Card Pool 13 (9 plus 4 SOTF Cards-I am not sure how to add them. They are more powerful than a regular Hero Card, so 1 point each)

Auto Spawn 4

If you do not have 42 Zombie. Use Pennies or something.
Other options that didn’t work to balance the Dots. It was all deemed to powerful, and not needed.
1 Zombie Choice Taken Over Marker 3 Dots
1 Random Taken Over Marker 2 Dots
1 Zombie Choice Lights Out Marker 2 Dots
1 Random Lights out Marker 1 Dots
Zombie Pillage 1 Dot
STRATAGEYS HINTS
The biggest game determination is the buildings. With the Well Stock in play, there is a potential for 3 gun supplies and 3 first aid supplies. (stock pile) There is also the potential for much less. Well Stock and Free Search are a bitch, so are 42 zombies J
Hero- This scenario does not have any Scenario Search Items. Choose your Heroes wisely. Look for Gasoline, Shotguns and Fire Extinguisher. The scenario is not that difficult. All you need to do is clear out any square, of the center town board, and have at least 2 other Heroes that can move into it. …and no zombies in it
Zombie- Buffet is served; get it before its gone J Divide and Concur.
FAQ and Designer notes
Spawning Pits:
Every outdoor space that is on the Outer Edge of the Board, is a Spawning Pit. The printed and newly acquired pits are NOT ACTIVE – NOT A SPAWNING PIT.
Use standard spawning rules, 1 zombie per space until all spaces have 1, per spawning action.
(no, do not remove cards that add spawning pits,
deal with it, suck it, get over it.
Its like drawing Catfight and having no female heroes)
Auto Spawn, and Starting Zombies
Use 3-6 sided dice for the Starting Zombies. 3d6
Use normal Horde Spawning rules, 2-6 Sided Die. 2d6
You can only have 8 Grave Weapon Zombies
At most with perfect rolls every time, you could have spawned 162 zombies. That means you need to have dead zombies to spawn.
Using this method actually gives the feel of surrounding Woodinvale.
The zombies are not coming onto the board in massive numbers,
making it extremely difficult for the Heroes. The Zombies come
on the board in limited numbers, but spread out more evenly.
Hero Replenish and Always Zombie Heroes.
Heroes do not get replenished. This is to create a feel of need or importance for each Hero to survive. Although, The Zombie Player does not need any extra zombies on the board. Having Always Zombie Heroes re-enforces the urgency to keep every Hero alive.
Zombie Pillage (because Jenny never gets paid in gum J )
If the Last Hero Card is revealed by a Zombie card or action, the Heroes do not lose. The Heroes are just out of luck. Zombie Pillage is to help deter Heroes from camping - hunkering down - staying in one building the entire game and searching. It also gives them a more compelling reason to defend Woodinvale, or to attack zombies
(im not saying it’s a bad thing for heroes to do)
Barricades
Why is there barricades on the Center Town Board ?
It adds a sense of safety for the Heroes. It allows them some safety when running across town. (barricades should slow some movement for zombies) It also allows them to Strong Hold in the Center of Town. If there were not Center Town Barricades, the Zombie would just wash over the Heroes like a tidal wave. Having the Zombie player place the first six barricades, they basically get to design their own obstacles, which is no fun. Allowing the Hero to place a final 7th barricade helps the Heroes decide on their fate.
There are 9 lines on the Center Town Board – These lines are the only location for Center Board Barricades.
stuff
As a Hero, I find the scenario to be very easy. Tear Woodinvale apart looking for the things that you need to survive.
As a Zombie, I find the scenario to be very easy. Attack, attack, attack. Ohhh one more thing attack.
The game is designed to be a drag out, knock down type of scenario. If ever one side is not engaging the other side, go play Zombie dice J The Heroes are forced to Search for either cards or reinforcement. Heroes need to hit and run before the Zombies can close them in. The Zombies need to close in on the fast moving Heroes.
(largest kill for a single attack, 26 zombies, new record for Victor)
EXTRA;
If Doc Brody is in the discard pile at the end of the 8th Turn. Remove Doc Brody from the Game. The Annex of Timber Grove has been saved. Most of your friends from Woodinvale survived. One of the wounded had Just A Scratch, the other seemed like they Felt A Little Strange, and so they were systematically executed.
If Doc Brody is not, in the Discard pile, at the end of the 8th Turn. One of your friends has become an undead. The future of Timber Grove is uncertain.
