Turn 1
Sheriff: "Everybody gather round, thank you. As you know my family has lived in this town for generations. That's a fact that isn't going to change today. We need to gather weapons. These things can be put down, just shoot them in the head or cave in their skulls. Me and Sam have been drawing up some plans and it seems we can do this. We've decided to put these gas cans around the perimeter and when they get close we're going to have a little BBQ. We're going to take back the town, one rotten son of a bitch at a time. Kenny, Sam let's move...Are you ok Father?"
Father Joseph is not himself he seems Haunted by the Past. Sam places his Gasoline next to the spawning pit on The Factory side of town. Father Joseph places his Gasoline on the Junkyard side of town.

Turn 2
The Sheriff fires at a Zombie with his Revolver.
Sheriff: "That one's for Billy, What the...?"
The thing just kept coming and the Sheriff had to empty his full clip into it before it was killed. The Resilient creature had cost him all his ammo and he had no choice but to discard his firearm.
Kill Count 1.

Turn 3
Kenny had been secretly thinking these old fools would get them all killed. He muttered to himself.
Kenny: "I don't care what they say, I Don't Trust 'em"
Father Joseph stands in the middle of town and shouts at the top of his voice,
Father Joseph: "Oh come to me ye wicked creatures of Satan! I will banish you to everlasting torment and Hell. I will not be sullied by your evilness. This may seem like Overconfidence I say nay! The Lord is my protector! Now get thee gone to Hell I say!"
A Zombie is drawn by the shouting and drags Father Joseph onto the ground and wounds him. Father Joseph loses his Overconfidence. The Sheriff Picks Up a Revolver.

Turn 4
Kenny was impressed by Father's speech and realizes he was wrong. He discards I Don't Trust 'em. The Sheriff finds himself caught in the middle of a group of hungry Zombies. He goes into a Hero's Rage and kills 1 of them but sustains 2 wounds.
Sheriff: "Aghhh No I can't fall here. I have to be strong for the others. I have to show them I'm a Survivor."
With a grimace of pain he pulls himself to his feet, bleeding badly. Although wounded Father Joseph's Faith is unshaken.
Kill Count 2.

Turn 5
Father Joseph sees for the first time the amount of death and devastation and begins to lose his Faith.
Kenny: "No It Can't Be Jenny, I've been after her since 1st grade and now she's a Zombie. Great! Just my luck. Why do girls always do that? They say no, or get lost dickface and now they're turning to Zombies too! What gives!?"
The Sheriff starts to beat down on Zombie Jenny, wounding her. Father Joseph goes down fighting 2 Zombies and is killed.
   
Sam is also having to fight off Zombies takes his 1st wound. The Zombies had gained their 1st Advanced Ability. The Outbreak had been far worse than the Heroes had realized... On the other side of town Kenny finds a Hunting Rifle and fires it a ZGW armed with a Sickle. It blew a fist sized exit wound out of the back of the Zombie's head killing it.
Kill Count 3

Turn 6
Kenny takes aim and fires at the Recently Dead GWZ who killed Father Joseph with the Hunting Rifle. The shot almost decapitates it and it's killed.
Kenny: "Rest in peace Father"
Kill Count 4

Turn 7

Sam: "Just What I Needed. If I just strip this down (Click: Snap! shlllock!) Done it. No problem. Ok. Come on in. Ol' Painless is waitin'"
The Sheriff kills Zombie Jenny with his Revolver. The Heroes were turning into real survivors. Kenny had gained his Advanced Ability: Re-Stock and the Sheriff had gained his Taking Back The Night.

Turn 10
Sam: "Sheriff, it's me Sam reporting in. I've carried out a recon of the area. More Zombies are pouring from The Bank. I'm guessing there's a New Spawning Pit in there. Food's going to be a problem as all the power and lights are out in the Super Market and Post Office areas. Another thing we need to- AGHHHHHHH... Son of a-zzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
Sam gets a 2nd wound by a Zombie who had crept up to him. The Sheriff Picks Up a Revolver but it's broken and he discards it.

Epilogue:
The wounded Sheriff admitted defeat and his town was overrun by the Zombies. He never found his son and made for the outpost of Timber Peak to heal his wounds. Kenny refused to join him, blaming the Sheriff's poor leadership for the deaths of Father Joseph and Sam. Kenny barricaded himself in and lasted a few days until his food and water ran out. By the time he came out of shelter the Zombies had doubled in number. He tried to make a break for it but was surrounded and killed; another victim of the cursed town of Woodinvale.

Upon Reflection
Well my 1st Game Report as the Heroes didn't go so well! I must admit I wasted my 2 Gasoline cards. I tried to shoot at the 1st one and missed and I couldn't have shot the 2nd can at all. So it ended up being wasted. I tried to shoot it later and missed again. I was cursed by the dice Gods too! I ended up having to discard the Sheriff's Revolver 3 times in a row! (Turns 9-11). I found 6 ranged weapons in total and I thought that would be enough but unfortunately not. I didn't help that I lost Father Joseph so quick either.

I think the Zombies played well. Choosing to beef up the Zombies with Grave Weapons instead of going for large numbers with the full Zombie pool. This limited targets for my guns. I think there was the odd time I had no Zombies to shoot at. As you know with this scenario; every shot counts. I had a lot of fun playing this scenario and it's not as easy to win as I thought it might be. Maybe next time
