They quickly become the biggest problem for the players and dramatically change the game. I think they work well in objective based scenarios where they are just another obstacle. <br /><br />@anon #2 - I think it sums up this way: Humans will kill you quickly, Zeds do it slowly and as torutously as possible!<br /><br />@ Vampifan - I can but dream. Thanks to the posts on your blog I am now looking at all that crazy SOTR and Incursion stuff from West Wind. I'm getting this incredible urge to do real "Dog Soldiers". Those minis are outrageous.LTL Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537374001638001721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7103928853560372964.post-75507296527889315182010-08-08T16:40:48.993-05:002010-08-08T16:40:48.993-05:00Hi Willy!

With my scenery and collection of figures coupled with your imagination we'd make gamers worldwide green with envy on a regular basis!<br /><br />A great batrep as ever and I can see the attraction of adding zombies, aliens or any other weirdness to a "normal" wargame. I agree with Anonymous above that ordinary gaming is no better or worse than weird wargaming - they're just different. But, having had a belly full of putting up with rules lawyers who only do serious games I'd much rather game with people like yourself, Willy, for whom having fun is the number one priority.<br /><br />You mentioned the ATZ Risks and Rewards deck of cards, Willy and said how impressed you were with them. I got my deck from Ed a week ago and I can confirm, they are a great game aid! I plan on doing a review of them next week on my own blog.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7103928853560372964.post-11161887409207016472010-08-08T12:53:10.674-05:002010-08-08T12:53:10.674-05:00Oh I own ATZ, I know how it works.

Its just that, based upon my own experiences and especially those that LTL dad posts, when you add zombies you basically lose the normal gameplay... its not that the humans don't fight, its that the fight is totally different. I personally like straight up gunfights, at least sometimes. Those sort of gunfights just don't happen when you need to keep worrying about/fighting zombies. In this game, for example, the brits and germans basically didn't fight, it seems, as they were too busy with the zombies, and only traded shots here and there. The same fight w/o zombies would have been an intense urban combat with lots of cool little tactics as the humans fought it out. One is not better than the other, I just would personally mix it up a bit more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7103928853560372964.post-73922027261308519672010-08-08T12:44:37.247-05:002010-08-08T12:44:37.247-05:00"Zombies are fun, but so is human to human wa..."Zombies are fun, but so is human to human warfare, which most of the "zombies added" games basically lack."<br />Not with All Things Zombie.
