SotF thoughts on Barricades

[August700212]

I added barricades and Manor Deck (10) to Defend the Manor House. It sounded like these Special Rules were made for this scenario. To offset the Hero advantage I used the dot system and added Zombie Horde (21).

This did not work out as I hoped. During Sun Track 12 zombies played "Dance of the dead" & Shamble. Those cards with some good rolls against the two barricades got 10 zombies into the manor including one Zombie hero. Was this just bad luck for the Heroes?

To find out I had to try this same setup again. The second time the Zombies won on Sun Track 13. The heroes were only able to kill 2 zombies before 9 got into the manor.

Has anyone else tried something similar to this? What were your results?

Do you find the dot system to be balanced?

I think having Zombie Horde (21) in the Defend the Manor House scenario is a guaranteed lose for the heroes. Please let me know your thoughts.
