Forklift

How about adding "damage" to the forklift. Or maybe "overrun".

Damage: Forklift gets 5 wounds. A zombie can "wound" the forklift by getting on it and rolling 5+ on it's attack dice in the "fight heroes" fase.

Overrun: The forklift is overrun when it has 8 or more zombies on it.

That way the heroes will need to defend the forklift and not just abandon it.

Yeah I agree that I would want the Heroes to have to defend the forklift. I like these ideas you have BTW. Five seems a good number of Wounds.

The more I think about it, the more I worry that having to gas up the forklift or get the keys to start it adds too much time to the scenario. If you look at Escape In The Truck, it's already 15 turns, and I find it's hard enough to complete on its own, let alone with adding extra objectives like carrying stuff around in the forklift, and that's only with having to find one gasoline to fill the truck with instead of running out of gas mid game and having to get more. I think it makes more sense to have the forklift powered up at all times, but have it move relatively slowly and be vulnerable.

What do you think of having it move d6 spaces when unloaded, and d3 spaces when loaded?
