Last Tuesday we had a zombie game as part of an on going zombie campaign using Occult Wars. There are now a large number of players joined in to a group of 18 characters. Rob our leader has decided an attack should be made against another group within the city. So to that end all 18 members of the group piled in to a large van and a winnebago and set off for the assault.
Our two vehicles entered the city block from sperate entry points. We had decided to make it a snatch a grad raid as we knew most of the other group of survivors (from now on called the "bad guys") had legged it. We knew there was at least two bad guys hidden in the city block. The bad guys had barricaded most of the block but there was still access though a few streets.
Lucky for us as we drove in the noise of the engines meant we rolled that a survivor (none player character) had been spotted so one of my guys jumped from the van to find a rather pathetic staving young woman (I rolled up very poor stats) who wanted to join up with my team.
The van travelled a little further and stopped outside a store. My guy and the new survivor ran to catch up. I don't really know what was happening on the other side of the block with the winnebago.
About 10 men jumped out of your van and started to check out the store by looking though the windows. The store was locked and the noise we made attracted 4 zombies trapped in the store who stared to move towards the plate glass windows. My two men and the new recruit checkout an ally down the side of the store and found a single zombie. All three of my people panicked and ran for the van. One of Bobs guys simply took aim at the zombie with his crossbow and put a bolt straight though its head. The rest of Bobs team stood back from the shop window and opened up with there rifles blasting away at the zombies within. They had short work of the mobile dead and we all set to work clearing the store of supplies. My chaps had now recovered and went to check over a nearby barricade. I could not believe my luck. A second survivor was scrambling over the barricade having been attracted by all the noise.
It was decided that we should check upstairs but with all the noise we were making any dormant zombies would be ready for us. So Rob backed the van up to the store and we got the new young woman we had found to climb up on the van and look through the upper store window. Bobs group moved up the stairs and waited for the signal to burst into the room. The young woman peered through the window whilst standing on the roof of the van. She could make out zombies standing by the door. She tapped on the window and they started to amble over towards her. The signal was passed to Bobs team and they burst through the door shooting the zombies in the back off the head before they could react.
Once all the loot was loaded into the van we heard a voice from across the street. One of the bad guys had decided to come out of hiding and surrender to us.
The other group across the block in the winnebago had a somewhat similar time and found another bad guy hidden in a store. After a tense time deciding if the two bad guys should be shot or not (someone asked how much meat a human body could provide) Rob persuaded the others in the group to except them. And so ends a very fun game.
