using ww2 minis for zombie games.

[Fenton]

Do you want to use the same scale as BKC?..Why not just use it and the Zombies get D6 regeneration each round or something  for every 3 stands of ordinary infantry or vehicle taken out they get a stand back...give them the ambush rule etc

one thing always lacking in zombie genre is armoured vehicles but I guess they would make it all a bit boring -

"the city streets are overrun with zombies!"

"ok we'll ride around in the tanks for a couple of hours, you can come and mop up after"

Although it sounds good, i'm looking at single based minis here (the same i use for USE ME WW2)

The USE ME ZOMBIE SET is starting to grow on me though:

"In small games of USE ME every character acts on its own, this is a skirmish, but in larger games a simple mechanic allows you to combine three to ten characters into one TEAM which then acts under its leader in play. All actions for teams are no more complex than for single characters.

The USE ME advanced rules. After the rules engine for the game come the advanced rules which give a real flavour of the Zombie Dawn setting including twelve character profiles that specialise your character for play; both mortal and zombie. These include specialist Zombie Hunting Weapons, Flamethrowers, Munchkins, Lunge and Bite and others. Following this are special character types which include Meat Rack and Lawnmower (both kinds of vehicles that can attract and cut through hordes of the living dead) plus Aircraft, Cavalry and more. The points and costs tables include all you need for mortals, vehicles, weapons and also four different kinds of Undead from the slow Zombie to the rabid and rapid Zombie and also much larger lab creations. "

"Zombie Solo Survivor Engine. This core feature of USE ME Zombie Dawn gives you a simple and robust set of solo play rules that allow you to put the Undead into your game when you are playing on your own. Including mechanics for 'attraction' to the living, reacting to sound and movement, forming hordes and so on. This means you can have a solo game where the Zombies begin scattered but will react to your actions and converge on you!



Campaign Play and Campaign Settings. Following on from the Solo Survivor rules is a section which allows you to to see what happened to those characters who were Struck or Winged in play to see if they recover in time for the next encounter. This makes rolling those dice nail biting and really important for the next scenario. Plus you can make a second lot of rolls for any characters Killed in play to see if a slim chance of them rejoining your forces for the next game. After this comes THREE settings for your games of USE ME Zombie Dawn. Each gives you a typical place, scenario forces, aims and objective and ideas for following up. The three settings deal with the stages of the dead coming to life in our world. Initial Outbreak where there are only a few Zombies and local folk and police try to contain them. The Coming of the Hunters which deals with special forces trying to combat a growing Undead menace which is almost out of control. The Last Stand which is a full on battle between the army and hordes of Zombies in a conflict to decide the fate of mankind in a place such as the Brooklyn Bridge."

In USE ME they can be added to the game. I think they would be good for scenarios where you have to grab supplies etc. You can go there in your apc, but if you want what you are looking for, you have to get out!
