The Battle of Central High

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!
Thanks for swinging by our blog. We love any visits, comments, or follows.
