Zombies attack Somerset!

Zephyr River City Gamblers Darkwind Guru Evan Reds Faction Group: Subscribers Posts: 551 Joined: Dec 12, 2009 All right, did my first Zombie Attack scenario today.  It was really thrilling and tense.  Damn, those zombies are tough!  Basically nothing except headshots did anything to them. It was my gang and the San Jose Baggers versus several waves of zombies. Unfortunately SJB brought pistols and shotguns, so he was at a big disadvantage.  After reading the after-action reports from the other zombie-fighters, I armed all 3 of my gangers with a rifle and four extra clips.  I used a bounding-overwatch fallback method; one person would kneel and fire while the other two would run away from the zombies, they would take turns shooting.  The "waves" spawning freaked me out; I would have a good location set up and suddenly there would be fresh zombies coming up behind me!  Scary.  I brought my Pyro psyker and he managed to set three different zombies on fire!  Only one of them was affected, though, and that was just to knock him down for a second or two.  The other two just kept coming at 100% while they burned merrily.  After 220 turns I was down to my last seven bullets (between all 3 gangers) with one zombie left on the board.  I formed a line, crouched, and waited for the zombie to get **very** close. I was not looking forward to having to wrestle with him. Taking careful aim, I opened fire and, with three bullets left (after starting with 300 altogether), I got the last headshot and dropped the zombie.  Somerset is safe from the Zombie menace for now, but just barely. ......................... vet wv Posted Oct 30, 2010, 2:52 am

It sounds like the 'waves' code worked as intended then Maybe it should be incorporated into regular footsquad-vs-critters events? ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Oct 30, 2010, 10:10 am

I was wondering about going even further and having small waves (2-3 near each other) spawn every 10 turns or so. Probably too hard with zombies, but might work with critters. ......................... vet wv marshal pvp2 cont Posted Oct 30, 2010, 10:20 am

Having critters spawn in a surround pattern as close as 20m is way, way to hard. ......................... vet wv zom gateautumn deathrceL1 elmsautumn pvp1 pvp2 sssc raceL1 e2g combatL1 santa1 pvp3 gwextrav ww circuit32,18,0 Posted Oct 30, 2010, 10:36 am
