THW

What type of THW Gamer are you?

Many of you started with THW when it was only the Reaction System. While some of our titles still use it and always will (NUTS, Star Army, etc.) some have incorporated the 2d6 Action Table.

With ATZ Evolution coming out we'll be offering both ways to play plus a board game add on that can be used as well. The nice thing is ALL versions will be compatible, so you can play a big table zombie game one day then a small Battle Board game the next using the same figures and the same Stars.

Speaking of Historicon, watch for the annual "I can't go to Historicon" 25% off sale later this week.

Shooting - Evolution versus Final Fade Out

One of the ten Battle Boards for ATZ - Evolution.

Shooting in Final Fade Out

1 - Roll 1d6 for each Target Rating (shot) and add to Rep.

2 - Look at Ranged Combat Table.

3 - 4 possible results – 7 modifiers to get there.

4 - If miss, target takes Received Fire Test to see what target does – Duck Back, return Fire, Carry On.

5 – If hit roll for damage.

·        Obviously Dead.

·        Out of the Fight.

·        Knocked Down Could be Stunned, Out of the Fight or Obviously Dead.

Need to roll dice minimum of twice, maximum of four times.

Shooting in Evolution

1 – Roll 2d6 versus shooter Rep.

2 – Look at Shooting Table.

3 – 3 possible results – 5 modifiers to get there.

4 – If miss target returns fire or charges – no dice rolling needed.

5 – If hit roll for damage – Obviously Dead, Out of the Fight or Duck Back.

Need to roll dice minimum of once maximum of twice. Half the rolling giving similar or same results.

Difference is less rolling needed and no Received Fire Test needed. Auto  Return ir once, if miss and get shot at again, then you Duck Back.

Example  - Billy Pink and two Gangers square off. Billy wins on the Action Table and fires first. Roll 2d6 and pass 1d6. One Ganger is hit, the other missed. Roll for damage and he goes Out of the Fight. The other Ganger now Returns Fire and misses. Billy now fires back and misses again! The Ganger cannot return Fire as he's done it before and Ducks Back instead.

Evolution versus Final Fade Out

Part One

Evolution streamlines game mechanics while keeping the same results. Here's an example.

In Sight

When two groups come into sight of each other.

Final Fade Out

1 – Each figure rolls 1d6 per point of Rep looking for successes – score of 1, 2 or 3.

2 – Six modifiers to the number of d6 rolled.

3 – Figures act from most successes to least.   

Evolution

1 – Roll 1d6 on the Action Table to see who has advantage. 50/50 chance unless specified by the scenario.

2 – Leaders roll 2d6 versus Rep. Want to be more detailed? Your choice, just roll for each figure.

3 – Pass more whole group acts first. If tied, the side with advantage goes first.

Reaction Tests

Final Fade Out vs. Evolution

Received Fire – Now built into the Shooting Table.

Man Down – Replaced with Will to Fight Test.

Recover From Knock Down – Built into the Shooting Damage Table.

Recover From Duck Back – Built into the Action Table.

Everything Evolves - ATZ Evolution Coming Soon

All Things Zombie won the Origins Award for Best Miniatures Game in 2005. From then until now gamers have changed and All Things Zombie has evolved with them. It's been six years since an update. That ends soon.

Want a game where you run around the table and kill Zombies?

If you do, then All Things Zombie – Evolution is not for you.

Think of all the great and not so great Zombie movies and television series. Remember how many Zombies the hero killed? I’m betting you don’t, but I bet you remember how they interacted with other survivors and how they finally overcame the obstacles in their way. In short, you remember the Story.

And that’s what All Things Zombie – Evolution is all about, the Story; your Story.

Watch for more info later this month. Part Two
