Really enjoying the updates! I don't mind that they're long at all!

Just because I think it would be a lot of fun to play with you guys!

I'll go for a New British Empire

Space Monarchy for the win?

EDIT: A GOLDEN SPACE MONARCHY IT IS!
(I should pay more attention >.<)

The platoon continues their march forward undeterred by either sniper fire nor booby traps that line the route.

(roll:8=fail)Sgt. Wulfric's call for a thunderous charge is met with little enthusiasm and several protests of “But the LT. Said...” the squad decides that they will not be charging with their full vigour. Slowed, 1st squad makes it to the edge of the hut named, 'Gamma'.

2nd Squad continues their slow north through the heavy underbrush of the forest, if there was an ambush or a trap it would be hard to find it until they were literally on top of it.

Seeing that the charge order from Squad 1 was heeded very poorly, The HQ squad could breathe a sigh of relief, their advance would not be threatened by a staggered assault. Picking up their radios after contacting third squad, they began to trek towards the north with Sgt. Lisk the forward observer in tow.

On the left flank, Sgt. Carneas lead his men slowly forward through the swampy muck, amazed that people would grow food in an environment like this. (roll:?) Again, no one in the squad reports any contacts.

Back on the roadway, weapons team waits for a fire order to attack the lone figure running through the village. They receive none, however (roll:8=fail) They mistake the warning shots of Cadet Commissar Hostilian as leave to open up as they advance on objective Sierra.

The running man falls down as you unleash a torrent of heavy fire on him, you can't confirm a kill, but you're fairly certain he was hit several times going down. Defiantly, you hear another gun shot fly past you. You're fairly certain it came from the Northeast.

EDIT: added map

(And, I believe you weren't in my squad Phantom :p)

Then why was I mentioned under the leadership roll?

You're currently attached to the weapons squad on the road. You're the little figure waving the sword and pistol around.

hope that clarifies things!

Looks like I have most of the orders in however my main computer (with the vassal save file) seems to be having power supply troubles and only turns on every now and then... this will slow things down as I'll have to re create the map. But hopefully I should be able to get turn 3 up for you by tonight!

The platoon edges it's way slowly down the road. Platoon HQ and Weapons Team waiting patiently as the rest of the platoon crept forward towards Alpha Bravo 34.

Squad 3 made good progress along the edge of the Swamp Rice Paddies., searching carefully they didn't spot anything out of the ordinary... so far(roll: ?).

Squad 2 began slowly pushing it's way into the densely packed woods to the East of the road. It would be slow going but they were heartened by the fact that the Lt. Had attached the meltagun into their squad.

Squad 1 pushed forward to the closest hut, dubbed Zulu, as they rounded the corner to open the hut's door,thankfully the point man noted a pair of grenades (Roll 3,1) tied to a small wire set to explode if the door was opened. Peering through the hut's window, it appeared unoccupied though(roll: ?).

Suddenly the quiet of the day was broken by the snap and hiss of a rifle bullet fired towards the Weapons Squad. It flew past the Stubber on the left flank by a mere few inches, pinging harmlessly off a nearby tree, sending splinters in every direction. ”Sniper!” someone yelled out. If there was anyone in the village around they weren't too happy that your platoon was on it's way here.

As the bullet flies past, a moment later, one of the privates yells “Contact!” (roll: ?) he points down the road and you see a single man running across the road towards the huts. He raises his lasgun, “Looks like PDF to me!” he shouts, waiting for a firing order. You can't tell at this distance clearly one way or another

Units under fire Expertise rolled: d6+1

Squad 3
Sgt. Adeon Loken: 2+1 = 3
Cadet Commisar Seneca Hostilian  6+1 = 7

Short question am i in now and in what squad Oô ?

Yep! You're in. You're the two men to the left of the Commisar Cadet in the middle. You can attach yourself to any squad you like or stay separate as the situation dictates

@USEC - It may be important to note a few posts back, Squad 2 asked the LT. to 'borrow' your meltagun man. LT. agreed so you're going to have to take it up with him

If you want to add more variety to ATZ you could consider starting the game closer to the outbreak where the zombies are fewer but the players are newer and there's still a lot of panic on the streets.

Players start at a bar or something having a drink here a commotion and notice a few zombies walking down the street. They need to escape, their car might be stuck in a lot where the zeds are coming from, or looters might be trying to steal it.

Next mission is them going back to grab their stuff or check on parents or something. Next mission is getting supplies at the box store. Then they try to split town. And then they try to find a safe house eventually.

thought I was the only one who enjoyed thw wargames.

I'd be up for either, but I think atz would make for a fun forum game!
