Aggression vs Caution

[nitro9090]

As bad as it sounds, the best fix for us when it comes to holing up too much has been to have a good leader on the hero team. Now, I am not saying he/she should take control of the game, but should put the situation in to perspective when things are grim and should be able to nudge the heroes out of their milling holes before it is too late. The funny thing is that usually the most experienced and best leader ends up playing the zombies (polls show that most people here end up being the zombie player and they are the ones who take the initiative and are probably best for leading), but if you have a regular crowd, that is in to the game, this issue should eventually fade away.

Another issue is the scenarios that require you to find certain items. The heroes' job is to sit there milling the deck and if what they need doesn't come up they are out of luck. Then, since they get overpowered in those games due to this tactic (even if they lose) I think it bleeds into other scenarios the idea that if I wait them out I should be strong enough to take on any number of zombies. It also has the drawback that even if they do find the scenario item they end up having to save the valuable item for the mission instead of using it which means they need to mill some more.
