Deadzone: Survival of the fittest Part 3

Mission #3 – Slip the Noose ‘You have no choice now but to trust that your message got through. The inexorable press of the zombies is slowly closing in around your position. The only hope you now have is to punch a gap through them and escape to the extraction point. As the noose tightens,

Deadzone: Survival of the fittest Part 2

I had some time during the week to setup and play the second scenario of my solo campaign, and if I thought the first battle was nail-biting then I was certainly in for a shock second time around! Mission #2 – Beacon of hope ‘You now know what you’re up against, and the scale of

Ardera IV – Campaign #3

The struggle for Ardera IV raged on through what was known as the cold year, which is caused by the rather strange, elliptical path by which the planet orbits the main sun-star Artemis.

In this scenario, I decided to play using the more traditional victory

Packing away Christmas & Going on Campaign

Going Solo – Space Crusade Campaign
