Forklift

[samuraitrev]

I'd like to see the Forklift Truck used as a Zombie mashing machine. These rules are for

Ram
Crush
Impale

Ram

1) If it gets a movement value of 4+ on 1D6 it can ram Zombies

(As you'll know they take a while to build up speed. I've actually got a licence and used to drive one for work)

2) If a Zombie is Rammed/hit by the armoured Forklift it is wounded on a 3+ on 1D6

3) An optional extra is once per game you may choose to Ram a building (again 4+ on 1D6.)

This would a) create 1 new door (counters are with the Growing Hunger expansion).

or

b) If hit with a movement value of 6+ on 1D6 the heroes may choose to Ram and destroy the building. Instantly killing all Zombies and Heroes inside. (Put an upside down Lights Out or They've taken the.. marker over it) Zombies or Heroes may not enter it and Spawning Pits are no longer used.

Crush

3) The forklift can raise the forks or lower the forks for one movement point. (So 2 if you raise and lower)

4) If a Zombie is crushed (you lower the forks from the raised position)
It is Instantly Killed on a 2+

Impale

5) If the Zombie is hit by the Forklift it may be impaled by one of the forks. This is done by discarding any Hero card when hitting a Zombie against a wall edge. (corners don't apply) If the Zombie is implaed it is wounded on a 2+ on 1D6 (so If any Zombies have more than one wound they are stuck on the end of the forks until Killed. This can be done by crushing them (see

4) Or shooting at them with ranged weapons or attacking them hand to hand (Zombie gets 1D6 -1 loses on ties)

As you can see it's a killing machine but here's the balance part.

1) Heroes can only have three Characters (The forth is in the Fork Truck for the duration of the game).

2) Heroes lose the Scenario if 2 or more Characters are killed.

Forklift Scenario 1 Smash 'N Grab)

Turns 15

Victor in the Forklift Truck trying to smash into the Bank. Hell to the Zombies it's payday!

Must create a door using the Ram option 4+ on 1D6.

Then

Get to the road out of town. with the Money token.

In this Scenario the Zombie player controls Sheriff Anderson and Rachelle. To maim/kill Victor they must try to fire into the Forklift Truck (-1 Range) and (5+ to hit.). Dynamite or Gasoline always causes one wound on Victor if it hits the Forklift Truck .

There is only a Zombie Pool of 7.

These can be controlled by a third player. Or with two players they have to always move towards the nearest Hero.

Scenario 2 I Know a Way Out of Here... )

Turns 15

One of the Anderson's must be included. (Odds) Billy. (Evens) Sheriff Anderson.

Raising the Statue counter from the Town Centre with the Forklift Truck to reveal a secret passage out of the town.

Heroes must first find the Unique Item card Book of Family History (because it's the Anderson family crypt). (just use a deck of 5 Unique Items and shuffle them before the game.

And a Fire item or Flashlight.

Use the two sewer sections fron SOTF and put them together on the side of the board. Each costs three movement points to travel down (so a total of 6) to escape the town.

Just some thoughts feel free to add.
