My Wants From a Ruleset, and 2 Book Reviews
On my Earlier post, Shelldrake mentioned that I should write a "wish list" for my wants from a ruleset.
Wants:
Survivor vs Survivor Combat ( or Survivor vs Bandit/Military)
Random Encounters
Campaign Ability
Example Scenarios (For example a Day 1 Scenario and a Day 9 Scenario, although Kisshead on the Juniorgeneral forums posted a link to the Zombicide Scenario Page)
If anyone has any ideas they would be happily welcomed
Update on the Studio Plastics: On Friday I got an Email from the company supplying them that they haven't been sent the Miniatures from their supplier (very confusing ;P) and that they'll email me when its dispatched.
Book Review: Ashes (1st Book) and Shadows (2nd Book) by Ilsa J Bick
Just a heads up on a good series of books that have not got your "traditional" dawn of the dead style zombies but have got cannibals that "evolve" to have basic functions (Know how to track, shoot and handle weapons towards the end of the first book). It follows a Young Girl that is struggling in the late stages of a brain tumour, and decides to go out hiking alone, while she does this a cataclysmic event happens that causes an Emp type effect but also flicks a switch in some teenagers/young adults heads that turns them into flesh eating cannibals. The "event" kills off most 20-60 year olds. It also features some classic post-apocalyptic themes (I won't spoil some of the plot twists)

The books sounds good. As for rules I can only think of ATZ. Perhaps download the free version of 2hr wargames which at least lets you see what the mechanics are like and whether they are for you or not.

From your wants list it sounds like ATZ is your way forward. Go check out "Vampifan's World of the Undead" his posts on his ATZ campaign are entertaining and informative. Plus Vampifan is a like a zombie game guru and all round great guy.
