Scavenging in Zombietown

Here's an after action report from a game I ran not too long ago.

Ruleset: All Things Zombie by Two Hour Wargames




Thought I’d try a round of All Things Zombie for the first time in more than a decade. A little clumsy, and I’m sure I missed a few reaction rules for the zeds, but all in all a lot of fun.





Our 3 civilian heroes enter the suburbs looking for supplies , finding a few more zombies than they expected.
Frank - rep 4 armed with shotgun
Tex - rep 3 with big ass pistol
Skids - rep 3 armed with 2 hand weapons (represented by 2 pistols)

Skids and Tex duck into the nearby gas station, finding Wendy (rep 4 w semi-auto rifle)



They take back to the streets as the zombies take notice of them.


Frank moves in and buttstrokes a zombies face off with his shotgun


Then searches the utility shed but finds it empty with no useful items.


Back on the Main Street the zeds are moving in on the rest of the gang.


As Frank comes out of the shed they all open up on the encroaching hoard, dropping several, but making an awful lot of noise.


The hoard is relentless and draws near, while more show up.


Frank and Tex dash by the horde into the nearby comedy club, which is luckily abandoned.


Wendy dashes down the street into a small home, previously occupied by someone with great decorating tastes.

After a close call in melee, skids retreats around the back of a building and slips out of sight. He had a good scare and will spend most of the game cowering in this vacant lot before finally being picked up by the group on the way back out of town.

After advancing through some back alleys, frank and Tex find themselves face to face with 2 zombies as they duck into a house for supplies.


Frank catches one with a shotgun blast while tex cold cocks one out of action after an intense melee.

Getting back across the street to link up with Wendy, frank holds off the horde with a few blasts at an uncomfortably close range.


Tex disturbs a car as he runs by, rousing a zombie to crawl out and cut off Frank from the group.


With a little luck, the 4 make it back to the truck, adding Wendy to their lot, and taking home some food and fuel after their romp through the neighborhood.



A great foray into the zombie apocalypse.  As usual, other great day on the tabletop!
