The wargaming world of Nozza

OK, still in lockdown, so time for another solo zombie game. This time around, Dwayne and a couple of survivors have been tasked with securing a potential new supply area. All they have to do is secure the gates to stop zombies from entering. Sounds easy! Joining Dwayne this time were Melissa (Leader) and Willis.

Found some time for my first solo zombie game this weekend. Using my ideas defined here , I set up my first scenario. This was to be a simple supply run. My band of survivors had six turns in which to investigate the three supply markers. Each marker would take one action to search. The zombies would initially be deployed in front of the workshop and move based on my rules (see link above). My survivors comprised a Leader and two Specialists. Andy - Leader Sh d12 CC d12 Leader Tough as Nails Veteran Lucky Pistol (6"/12") & Knife. Dwayne - Specialist Sh d10 CC d10 Deadeye Deft Pistol (6"/12").

Overview of the playing area Starting point for my survivors Two of the supply markers are on the left-hand side of the playing area, the other is the top right-hand side. The 1st turn was spent moving into cover behind the junk piles and then waiting to see wh...

One of the most frequently played games I play on my phone is The Walking Dead: No Man's Land. The game is a tactical turn-based RPG based on the AMC hit TV series The Walking Dead. Alongside characters from the TV series, you also have your own survivors with their own abilities and traits. You pick three survivors and then undertake a variety of missions for various rewards. Now with the current Coronavirus lockdown in the UK, I'm working from home and have never been busier. Spending 10+ hours a day looking at a computer screen means I am less inclined to play electronic games. So I thought about converting The Walking Dead: No Man's Land to a solo tabletop game. I had the bare essentials already. I had three 2' x 2' mats - one for rural, one for a warehouse and one for urban locales. Kept the buildings to a minimum - a house, a barn and a workshop. Had plenty of figures for survivors and zombies. Had plenty of scatter scenery. So with no additional e...
