If any unit can survive, it will be the Survivors Unit. They move twice as fast as regular infantry and can run in reverse with no hesitation. They are depicted in my human army as kneeling marksmen who are still covered with trench mud. These soldiers were unusually quick, effective in H2H combat, and skilled marksmen who instinctively aimed for the head. When the undead rose in the trenches, most of the living soldiers in the trenches were killed. Therefore, in keeping with the general story line of most zombie movies, I have invented a new type of human soldier unit. This poses a problem if you want humanity to have any hope. The previous posts have shown that human soldiers are at a great disadvantage against trench zombies. In my opinion, a draw indicates that the sides are fairly even and it is a good game. This makes a difference in the outcome.Īt the end of the battle, one British unit had managed to leave the field and one zombie unit was still upright. The British army benefited by drawing some lucky cards. Other units flanked the zombies, but more zombie units were drawn to the melee. This worked well enough until the heavies were blocked by some terrain features. Both heavy infantry units were to take up positions behind and to the left of the elite unit so that they could shoot also when the elite unit withdrew. The battle plan for the British was to move the elite unit toward the zombies so that it could inflict some damage by shooting while regular infantry crossed the field. Shooting can reach across two squares into a third square. Infantry can move two squares, except the elite survivor team, which can move three squares. Zombies can only move one square, except fast zombies can move two squares. Movement rules on a gridded board prohibit diagonal movement for any unit. In this scenario, a column of British infantry seeks to cross the battle field from right to left, evading and escaping as many units as possible off the left edge.

Putting your human army into defensive positions and just fending off zombies is exciting but loses interest after doing it three times.
