The Battle of Central High

Zombicide - Wanda’s Backstory

Wanda and a couple friends were hanging out on the Quad, 

when their attention was drawn to shouting and screaming 

across the square. 

OMG ! Why is Principal Lemon hauling ass after that Goth Kid? 

Her Rich Kid friend paid her no attention, as he waved at the cheerleader.

Ahhh!! She just ripped his head off! My skateboard friend

yelled “let’s get out of here!” I grabbed a shocked looking weirdo 

and dragged her with us as we fled. Crap! Skater slammed directly

into a mass of ugly and was dragged down. I kept running, pulling

any norms with me as I ran towards my Mazda RX2.

We scooped up a cops shotgun laying near a pile of gore along with

a pipe. We used them to good effect as our group grew in size.

We yelled for the few remaining students in the yard to head for the

parking lot. We knew their chances were small as the crowd of biters

had grown massive.

None of them made it, and quickly rose to stagger towards us and the

parking lot

The five of us crammed into my RX2 Coupe. I raced off campus as fast

as my rotary engine could go. All my passengers asked to be driven to

their homes. I dropped them off as close to their destinations as I dared. 

I should have argued for the group to stay together, but we were too scared

and confused to think clearly.

Not all lessons taught are learned. But I learned a bunch about myself in

those 30 minutes. Lessons that still serve today......

After all of this time fighting and surviving together,

the group was still shocked to hear how it all started

for Wanda. “I’m happy to finally have shared my story.

So who is next”, asked Wanda

We really enjoy bringing our survivors to life. This

origin story was played out with Zombie High School. 

Rick and Carl’s Day Out

The Walking Dead - Rick and Carl’s Day Out

Although I was a Kickstarter All In backer we had not yet played. 

With Call to Arms releasing 7/2019, we decided to play the final

starter scenario. The group had enjoyed Here’s Negan and you can

read our play and review here. 

Rick is out teaching Carl to shoot near a mass of piled up vehicles 

along a junked up section of road. The practice had gone well but

the mass of walkers was growing unmanageable. Just when Rick

was about to gather a few supplies and head back to camp, Carl 

noticed several survivors approaching. The gunfire had drawn

Derek’s band to the area. Noticing lots of usable goods in the area

Derek ordered Sandra and Patrick to gather supplies. 

Derek notices Rick and warns him off from the area

Patrick moves toward some supplies

Rick shoots a nearby walker and draws lots of attention

Sandra is getting out numbered and in trouble

Carl searches the car and BOOM! He finds a booby trap

Sandra gets the car between her and the walkers

Rick sees his opening and moves toward a stash of supplies

Sandra swings in and gets the supplies securing victory for Derek’s side. 

Rick and Carl slide away to fight another day. 

We had a good time and look forward to building our own teams while

using the full rules set. We didn’t engage in any PvP which may have

been a mistake but the 3 to 2 odds seemed tough. Ammo is depleted

1/3 of time on a die roll so that was tough too. Building your own teams

would allow extra ammo cards and melee weapons. 

The system works well solo, cooperative, or competitive. I could even 

see it as an RPG narrative type campaign playing the key events out

with the skirmish game. The Mantic deluxe terrain pack was awesome too!
