Hold the Line!

[gavindowning]

The new scenario expansion arrived in my mailbox today, so I thought I'd report on what came.

There are two copies of two new Hero cards, and one copy of a third new Hero card, along with the same number of Zombie cards. The Hero cards include Quickdraw (you can get an extra Hero card or make an extra ranged attack), Fast Recovery (heal up and potentially get rid of a Remains In Play Zombie card), and Machete (good for killing off zombies when they roll well). Zombie cards include Blinding Rage (lets a zombie move super-fast for a turn), Dying Slash (potentially injure a hero when a zombie dies), and Lockdown (keep heroes from moving through doorways for a turn).

The cards are nice, but the scenario particularly stands out, and is quite different from their usual sort. "Hold the Line!" is a great-looking scenario with a different setup than usual. Zombies do not use their usual spawn points, and instead start along one edge; heroes start on the opposite side of the board. The zombies are trying to cross the board, while the heroes must stop them without losing more than three heroes over the course of the game.

I don't know if I'll get a chance to play the scenario any time soon, but the next time I break out Last Night on Earth, I'm going to give this a try. It looks like a lot of fun.
