Gathering materials pt2 Taylor's diary Harmony doesn't miss often , but when she does we end up in some sticky situations. Alex attacked and got injured. I attacked and the Shell blocked me.   Another Shell came wandering in. Ashton took another injury and I ended the Shell. Harmony took out the wanderer. The horde, meanwhile, was milling about. Reacting to unknown stimuli. On the other side of the play area a gathering of Shells who were wandering into the area. (Dice rolling for where they entered each turn one at a time. It was pretty consistent on three areas. This being the most favoured.) We crossed the road and edged towards Hodge's Things looked good. Harmony took another Shell down. Ashton found two stashes of resources in Hodge's For three food. I put them in my backpack. Things looing quiet we headed over to the corner terrace One stash into my back pack. I had a full load Ashton went upstairs and found one stash and he collected it. While he was upstairs Har...

Gathering Materials pt1 Taylor's Diary Having looked at the options we formed a plan that, hopefully, would keep us away from as many Shells as possible. There were a lot on the top road. More than a few in between the terraced housing and the play area. We decided that keeping close to the end terrace near where we were and scooting around the middle terrace we might not get mixed up too much with the Shells. I started off skirting the shrubs and keeping low behind the wall. Harmony followed and took a shot at the nearest Shell. It skimmed by it and we saw it jerk to alert. Ashton came over and joined us. The Shell came on as fast as it could directly toward us. Harmony took another shot and aimed good. Thankfully. She moved to the terrace houses and we followed.  All was quite. Taking a shot at the 'sisters', she missed again!  "Damn! I'm sorry!" she said. The two hulks had their beady senses on her. Ashton and I moved to intercept as they came forward. Harm...

 Hi! The upcoming mission two Gather Materials. Food The set up. Edge of town. Three blocks of terraced houses. A corner terrace of three houses. One stand-alone house. The object of scavenge Hodge's Shop . The car and close-by zombies are for effect only and to dissuade the team from going that direction (the game area is a little big so that is why they are there).  I used the radiant method for zombie placement as that gave a better distribution of figures. The materials are in Hodges , the stand-alone house and the corner terraced houses . The terraced houses are cardstock. Pdf downloaded from Wargames Vault onto A4 postage label and stuck onto mounting board. Aerial shot. Team is in top left behind shrubs The teams view A higher elevation. Hodge's is reddish coloured building in the rear Your everyday shoppers looking for brains! Hodge's on the right. Plenty of shoppers waiting!

Taylor's diary It wasn't good. Both Aston and I are in a bad way. Taking stock I assigned Harmony to build a garden which will be the start of our self sufficiency on food. ( 1 hardware and 1 labour. Generates 1 food ). I   set to building a utility room with a view to establishing power and water.  (3 hardware and 3 labour. Provides power and water, which is extra building to do before generating anything). Ashton I got to rest. He complained, though only half-heartedly. We decided that the nearest food source would be Hodge's greengrocers. It had tins and jars of food as well as fresh fruit and veg. Well, had fresh fruit and veg. Management phase (1) Check Rot  - N/A (2) Hunger score  - 2 (3) Assign beds -  Each has a bed (4) Unrest score  - 2 (5) Store check  - pass Fuel-4, Food-0, Hardware-0 (6) Horde  - no siege threat (7) Departures  - none It's a precarious beginning for sure.  The fact injured survivors can't go on missions was s...

  Starting a new community cont. Where we left it. In the meantime, I look at the mission and I can win without killing all the Shells. I just need to kill any within 6" of the house and enter it. That is do-able, with luck. Harmony takes down the lead Shell Ashton and Nick moving into contact with the next lead Shell. They manage to kill both but not without consequences. Harmony missed a shot activating a Shell which attacks Nick. But she takes the next nearest down with her next shot He manages to fight it off and kill it Nick and Ashton search the two resource points Ashton found a can of fuel and some hardware. Nick found another can of fuel. They move into the house. It's good to be quiet With so many Shells around... Tyler Watt quietly slinks away Taylor's Diary We had an hard time securing the house.  Being quiet worked to a point.  Maybe Harmony shooting that Zombie from afar set off a chain of events that put us in a spot. ( I misunderstood the Zombie motivation...

  Starting a new community. Nick: "Harmony. How good are you with that bow?"  Harmony: "I'm passable. No expert"  Nick:" OK. You have the only silent weapon that we can use at a distance, so we'll try to keep it as quiet as we can. We can't rush in as we don't know how many, if any, might be in the house or around about. Harmony can take out the Shell over to the right then we'll head straight for the wall and see what's between us and the house.  If we encounter too many we'll hightail it back here. We need to watch each others backs. Let's get too it!" Harmony downs a shell and they all move Furthest Shell becomes aggressive and activates another close by. Harmony moves and takes down another The men move round and start across the road The aggressive Shells can see the men and move activating another two They become a horde! Ashton moves and stumbles into a Shell The Shell attacks but it only develops into a scuffle until...
