Looking forward to convert that ruleset to my 10 mm survivors and zombies!

I was torn up actually, dive in the walking dead game or stay with what i have. (Pendraken zombies and survivors, scifi zombies for deadzone that i have been using, and recently ww2 zombies to combine with my bolt action armies)

In the end the reports about the game show a promising AI and rules that "suits" what i want to do.noise attracts zombies, events add zombies, finding and looting gear is a core of the game, ammo can run out etc...

So i took the plunge. Kind of bummed that you need the supplements to have the full rules but hey,that's life! Got it with a nice saving so that's cool (200 instead of 350ish)

Also picked up the expansion that has the large battle rules so that's where the 10mm will shine!

I must admit I was very tempted to jump in, but decided at the last minute to ignore the basket. I had read good things about the AI too.
Sometimes I wonder - why is that frisbee geting bigger - and then it hits me!

Well i ignored the basket at first as well. The sale lasted untill friday at midnight and had been eyeing it since it started. There was one last copy left in the evening, and i ordered it at 11.59 local time. (so 10.59 in the UK)

So, calculated desicion!

:-bd =D> :-bd

You'veacheived a lot this year =D> =D>

Could have done more, but kind of hit a barrier the last two months. Hope i can get some more stuff done over the holidays.

Currently i'm waiting on the walking dead package i ordered and i know i'll dive right in, so seems kind of stupid to start something and then let it drop :)

Still i'll try to get something going this evening, maybe some undercoating, that is never wasted!
