if you wanted to make it harder / more real. make it if you miss, the bolt goes 1 square PAST the zed.

I really like the suggestions which make the crossbow feel like a different weapon - especiall the ideas of using tokens for ammo and retreiving bolts from 'dead' zombies. Will adopt the 3+ to hit and use cross-hair tokens from my Memior '44 games.
Thanks all for making this a great thread.

Play-tested this last night and it seemed to work well. The Hero lost 2 bolt tokens (roll of 1 or 2) and was able to retrieve any number of bolt tokens when moving through the square contatining them. The bolt token moved with a ZH.
As I was playing BitF we rolled to see if fire destroyed a bolt token (begining with the turn after the fire had started) - 5 or 6 and the bolt burned.
Also decided that crossbow was not discarded whilst bolt tokens still existed on the board.

Is a good thought, but could only really work if there is no zombie player. The noise rule works very well with zombicide, but only because the zombies are mechanical. They react, but do not think. The beautiful thing about lnoe is the stratergy, the zombie player doesnt have to mindlessly charge into the survivors. They can draw them out, or block the path. I do love zombicide, hut having mindless zombies is justified by sheer quantity. In lnoe the zombie player has very limited troops. And so they need thier undead wits about them.

we liked it, only weird thing is the characters.
there are a couple 'wildcard' strong ones. and the rest are average... like cattle.. the specials can make the average guys move.
i don't like playing a game where the characters are not ballanced. i mean.. it's luck of the draw as to who gets a stick and who gets a tank.. sorta thing. the guy with the stick ain't enjoying the game as much as the guy with the tank.

Thats why I like all flesh must be eaten. Simple character develpment, simple rules, and unless tge ZM is a total bozo, fun can he had by all. I'm workin on a minis version, got plenty of zombie minis and hero minis, just need to craft lots and lots of terrain.
