Although that holds some truth it's definitely one of my favorite scenarios as it spells classic B movie fun. I think I must have played it a gazillion times and only on few occasions has it been an easy win for the Heroes.

You know something? That is actually exactly why I love it. It is one of my favorite scenarios so far. To me, I love that a lot of it is up to luck. To me, that makes for a fairer, more balanced game. I feel like a good board game always includes both skill and luck. Why? Because then everybody has reasonably equal chances of winning, whether brand new to the game or a veteran, whether they play board games all the time, or aren't a big fan, etc.

Plus. that sort of situation fits in perfectly thematically. Skill can get you far in zombie movies, but often times you need luck on your side as well.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your game report! That definitely sounds like an awesome game play. Those are the best kind of games, when it comes down to the wire and could easily have gone either way.
