The "Oh Shit" I guess would come from looking in the window, then having to decide whether to change plans or sally forth.

A player has the ability to use a building as cover. They can get next to the wall and slide along it without any zeds inside knowing that they are there. The drawback being that they don't know if there are zeds inside or not, because they haven't looked in a window/ door to establish LOS. The only way a zed will know that a hero is on the other side of the wall is thru zombie hunger (smell), otherwise, they will need for LOS to be established. As the rules state, you can only look in a building if you are touching one of its walls, not from a few spaces away.

If you are going to argue that they should be able to hear the zeds if on the other side of the wall, go stand outside of a gym or dentist office and see how much you hear from just outside.

That is exactly what I said. They run up to the building and look in the window. I am not sure why you felt the need to re-explain this to me. The fact that I was not contradicting anything you said, but you still felt the need to post in this condescending tone, after I tried to post a "can't we all get along" sort of post, does make me feel like you are kinda on the attack in this forum. Wierd, cuz I have never experienced this before. Let's try to keep it respectful, huh?

Then, you said in your game that your opponents "made the whole zeds in a building thing moot by taking a hero with a high move and running up, looking in, and then taking off." Can you see now that that is what I was predicting would happen when I said the above?

Glad to hear the rules tested well initially. Hopefully 2.0 goes a bit better. I would be interested to try these with a scenario written specifically for them. I have said from the beginning that I think this is an interesting idea, and I am eager to see where it goes.
