It's the Graveyard dash

 This was my second solo game of last year and used the Ganesha Games Fear and Faith rules. It was a simple get out of the graveyard before the zombies got you. Our intrepid heroes consisted of Jason and Freddie, two Quality 3+ Zombie Hunters, and Janet, Ricky and Ben, Three Quality 4+ Zombie Survivors.

The games began with D6 zombies outside each tomb, and every second turn a further D6 would emerge from one of the tombs. The Zombies were under group control for each spawning and would simply head towards the nearest, visible non-zombie and attack.

The initial set up.

Jason and Freddie seemed able to move fairly easy, but could not seem to activate the others, and with the F&F system if you fail two then initiative passes to the other side. The zombies seemed pretty good after moving if slowly with a lot of groaning.

Jason was the first to engage the zombies and after several misses eventually manged to put one down.

Jason then decided that it might be better to get away from the approaching zombies. All the rest were horrified by the zombies and rooted to the spot.

While Jason continued moving away, Freddie battled on taking out two more zombies. The other three still stood there.

Jason fought on valiantly, but eventually the weight of numbers brought him down, this seemed to give the others legs, as they ran away from the zombies finally. Rick and Ben headed one way, while Janet went the other.

It's looking like they might all make it.

Then Ricky decided he was going to stand still and see if the zombies would ignore him.

It didn't work.

Ben made it through the gate while Jason covered Janet as she ran through the two groups of zombies.

The game finished with three of them making it out. An enjoyable game and although the rules are not designed for solo play, they worked well with a simple zombie chase. In future for other types of monster I may write a simple chart for their actions. The only frustration was the activation of the lower quality figures, but this also added to the tension in the game.

The figures are a mix of Ground Zero Games and Rebel Minis. The terrain was all from Blotz, the tombstones and crypts from their 15mm ranges and the gates and fences from the 20mm. The vehicles were from Oxford Diecast.
