My first game of Zombicide and a review

Hi guys,
Well, now that I have finished Scott's figs, we thought we would put them to the test, we played a simple introductory game, I liked it, very simple, there is an Ipad app that makes it even easier, and the best thing is it can be single player, even though I liked it, I am mainly a 15mm fig collector, so I am thinking of re producing the terrain boards and figs in 15mm, the game was fun, in the end we found all the supplies we were looking for, unfortunately Dog the Zombie Hunter sacrifice himself so the group could get away, but was mercifully finished off with the obligatory shot to the brain pan.
The terrain is a great idea, the boards are double sided, and you get more boards/figures and different types of zombies with expansion packs, I believe there are 2 already.
The rules are simple, fun and fast, even faster with the IPad app.
The figure are great, I am really impress with their detail.
All in a great product, and the figure alone are worth the price.

The 6 survivors emerge from the building to start their supply run 

the first walkers are attracted by the commotion 

Shane hold the horde off while roller girl dashes into the building

Punky tries to keep the escape route open

Shane is getting cornered, 

Punky, Wests and the Mormon clear the building near the escape route

Watch out The Mormon!!! you never know where walkers may be found

Shane tries to back away from the horde, but is chased by a fombie

Dog is brought down by a horde, the Mormon gives him a mercy shot.

the gathering horde spills through the streets in search of prey, but the group has escaped.

  6. Well, I'm thinking that with a 15mm version you could have larger maps or play on a smaller area, besides, I just can't help shrinking things down to 15mm, it's a sickness I have.

  7. Hi Dan. We think a like on such matters. So I need to ask (but think I know the answer for the afore mentioned reason) - any progress or thoughts on the 15mm scaling of Zombicide?
    (I do have three sets which are very nice BUT there is that itch to go little).
