I have been wanting to paly a Zombie campaign since a long time ago, but I didn't find a ruleset that convinced me, but during the last year I have found three rulesets that will let me to start the campaign finally.
Let's take a look on the rulesets:
The framework of the campaign will follow the All Thing Zombie books, from THW. The first scenarios will follow the Haven book, starting with the Domestic Disturbance, them I will continue with the Military/National Guard ones, and finish with the Gangers. Them, if all is ok, I wanna play a more complex campaign, following the Nowhere setting from I, Zombie, but, time to time....
The ruleset for the combat will be obviously USEME "Zombie Dawn", it's simple, fast, clear and detailed. But it is too simple for some situations, that demand more specific resolutions, for that I have choosen Barbarians of Lemuria with its expasion for the Pulp Period "Dicey Tales" & "DOW".
As this will be a solo campaign I will use the Reaction Tables from THW, and the Enquiry Table for the required situations.
Let's take a look on the characters. For the three first issues, the police Star will follow the next stats
USEME Zombie Dawn:
Star: Elan 3, Move 6, Side Arm. Rep 4 for the Reaction Table.
Grunts: Elan 2, Move 6, Side Arm. Rep 4 for the Reaction Table.
Zombies: Elan 1, Move 4, Unarmed. Rep 3 for the Reaction Table.
DOW:

Grab & Hold: No damage. If grabbed, a character takes a -1 modifier on physical tests for each Zombie holding them. A character so held can make a Strength test, at -1 for each clinging zombie, to throw off a number of zombies equal to their STR ENGTH .
Overbear: If a character is grabbed by a number of Zombies equal to the character’s STR ENGTH x2, they are dragged to the ground.
Bite: 1D6. +3 To-Hit if they are holding a character Auto-hit if the character has been dragged to the
ground.
The scale will be 15mm mixed with 10mm, still under confirmation
Tsar Conflicts
Wow, Wow, Wow!
I have never thought about that topic, mixing Communist wars with my favourite Sci-Fi series.
A new project is growing....
A new project is growing....
This could means new miniatures.... or not.....
Nobody asked me but...
- USEME new releases: 15mm.co.uk is planning to release three more titles into the USE ME series on Friday of this week. I do not have much information but I have heard from Gavin Syme that these are the awaited Zombie Dawn, Wild West and Post Apocolpyse rules sets. Plus a re-print of UM003 USE ME World War Two will also put that title back in stock on the same day!
For more we will have to wait 48hrs!
- PRUSEME, I have been very busy these Christmas because I am working in the Spanish version for Chivalry & Sorcery Essence from Colin D. Speirs, but when I have finished it I will return to my PRUSEME project.
- I have decided that 2012 will be the year without no new miniatures, this is a very typical promise that all the wargamers make at the start of each year, well, I am not one special, so I think that this year I can.
- I am in the last steps of the infantry painting stage for the Carlistes army, I hope than soon I will upload photos of it.
- And of course, HAPPY YEAR 2012, enjoy it as it was the last one!
