Its been a while since I played a game without auto spawn and I had a hard time spawning any. The grave dead add on made no difference (being allowed to spawn in a space occupied by a zombie). But as I said, she were doing worse than me. With no gas station, no library and no Cartwright she relied heavily on the supermarket towards the end to acquire the much needed gas cans. She had a break through in turn 16 finding the last two but alas, it was too late.

I liked playing this scenario since we had a fun game and an almost-there-experience for the Heroes. We will play a re-match of the scenario during the weekend but this time I will make sure to make an aggressive comeback sparring no one. There'll be no hiding this time, Amanda!

Saturday night we had a re-match. I don't know about you guys but we play with a deck that includes all expansions, so to improve the odds we added 4 dots to give the Heroes a basic starting hand of 2 cards. I would have liked auto-spawn but couldn't help thinking that might be over-powering in a scenario that uses Grave Dead. Instead I started out with one lights out and Grave Weapons for my zeds.

It was a completely different gaming experience especially due to the fact that my Gr ave Dead were now Carriers. Still no Gas Station, no supermarket either. The Heroes got a much needed the relief when Sam acquired the Flashlight and the Heroes managed to find all gas cans by turn 14.

It was a bloody experience. Both Johnny and Anderson had near-death experiences and even though I didn't manage to add a zombie hero to my gang, one of my Grave Dead got the weapon Recently Dead which made the Heroes use up a lot of cards out of fear.

The Heroes won this time but not until turn 17. Again it was a close one and a disturbing experience for the Heroes. I lost but it felt like a small victory nevertheless.

Excellent experience. Thanks for the inspiration Trev.
