| News from Europe. Major zombie offensive. Last stand in Bastogne |
The world war 2 in Europe is about to finish, but which side would win?
The SWD and Von Evil have sent a trap (here). The device was designed to start attracting zombies after its capture. The outer defenses of Bastogne have fallen, and the last soldiers are making a stand. The Gurkhas are ready. They are what prevents the zombies to feed on the civilians.
At the same time, Mallory and a group of paratroopers are sent in Aachen, the former residence of the Emperor Charlemagne, where Von Evil and the SWD are performing some weird activity.
If Mallory defeats Von Evil before Bastogne falls, there is hope to rebuild Europe.
If Mallory fails, there will be no future.
If Mallory wins but too late, there would be a sour victory.
Coming soon, the End of Times, a Reich of the Thousand Deads finale.

Notes:
I have played the game last Friday and it has been a very tensed game. I was supposed to write the report until I acquired Mordheim on Steam. That game is addictive and very good. I have spent too much time on it, but I can't regret as I enjoy that game a lot (who said too much?).
====
Rulewise.
I played on 2 tables simultaneously. One table for Bastogne, one table for Aachen.
Bastogne used the rules from ATZ Haven "Safe Zone", with a special change in the random event. For Bastogne, random events happen on double AND "7" (sum of the 2 activation dice =7)

In Aachen, Mallory's team will be split in 3 strike force. The action will take place in a graveyard with Von Evil trying to summon the evil source of the zombie plague. There will be 5 patrols (2 guards 1 dog each), night time (visibility at 12", spotting at 6") and 2 summoners in the middle. The summoning will need 3 6's roll (666) from the summoner. The summoner would roll 1 die each every turn and cumulate the successes.
Mallory will have a priest with him who is the only one who can ban the evil on a 6" roll within 6" of the evil. Banning the evil would destroy the zombies (all zombies in Bastogne would automatically die then, like bad guys in any Avenger's movie).
Summoning
roll 1 die every turn the miniature is within 6" of the altar and has not performed an action (moving/shooting). Only "6" is counted as a success.
