I have been truly inspired by Dave’s great game BlazingDice, my Birthday Present Zombicide and Michael’s fantastically quirky Zombie survivor
figures. I have an idea for a game bumping around my head, I have approached
Dave to ask permission to use his rules as a base and Mike who will help with
play testing and painting. But in a nut shell it will be as the post title says
a Very British Zombie War, imagine wargaming Shaun of the Dead.
A few brief ideas I have so far are that the Zombie apocalypse
will have happened so quick that the only groups to survive will have banded together
where that were at the time so the factions will be along the lines of work
places and groups for example Michaels great Sixth form and the police (Hasslefree
do great Hot Fuzz style figures) I even have two figures in mine for some night
watchman..... the Zombies will move towards the noisest area or towards blood, so a big gun may not be your best weapon. The Zombies will spawn more each turn so the quick you complete your mission the less of the undead you will face.
Also the game will be fought over truly British battle fields,
Private school grounds, country Halls, picture postcard Villages. I plan to develop
this game and share it on the blog any cards/ sheets I create I will make
available to anyone (much as Dave does with his blazing dice). Best of all I
have piqued the interest of my Daughter and her friends as play testers.
If all goes to plan the game will be my contribution to
Blog-Con 2014.
