I also struggle in the W column, but agree with this sentiment wholeheartedly.

Regarding play time:
My normal weekly playing partner was out of town for about a month, so LNOE has been on hold. He got back into town last weekend and we got a couple games in. While he was out, I ordered up the web supplements Stock Up, Zombie Pillage, and Revenge of the Dead.

The first one we tried was Zombie Pillage. For some reason, I just wasn't sold and excited about this scenario. Boy was I wrong. We had a blast and the game came down to the last few turns. The board set up had the Antique Shop which I tried to use to keep adding cards back into the Town deck. In the end, I ended up losing because I focused too much on trying to use the Antique Shop and Push Broom (to little effect as I was having a tough go with the rolls) and not enought time going after the zombies in the buildings. Oh well, I still had fun and look forward to trying that one again.

The next one to try was Revenge of the Dead. Between the description of the scenario and some of the posts here on TZG, I thought I was done for from the get go. I think I got lucky with the initial zombie draw, 5 out of the 6 cards were Fight cards, but there were no zombies close enough to fight that first turn, so ZP couldn't use them up to make room... With about 4 turns remaining, the heroes were looking pretty good, with only one Hero death. Then everything went to hell in a handbasket, and 3 of the heroes died. In the end, the Heroes won, escaping to the side of the board that had few zombies, but the fast moving Zombie Heroes kept it interesting to the last turn - each of my 4 heroes all had one wound remaining... Fun Fun Stuff!
