Uh…hello. There is a global zombie war game called Zombie State. I’ve seen it and read some reviews. I’ve actually designed a pretty complicated Axis and Allies Zombies game using the Global 1940 maps. I use Fortress America infantry units for zombies as I don’t have any real specific Z sculpts. I’m afraid I made the rules so complicated that people might compare it to Cones of Dunshire. The Zs are pretty slow and certainly not unkillable. I combined the idea of supernatural undead springing up everywhere thanks to Hitler (he gets munched right off the bat and Admiral Donitz takes over what’s left of Germany) with some pandemic plagues. So some Zs can infect you while others just tear you limb from limb. If the players want to just beat on the Zombies they can unite and do that, or if they want to fight each other the Zs get exponentially tougher and rip into all of them. Like “nightmare” level in some computer games. I’ve been working on it for a few years on and off. Max Brooks World War Z novel and the Harry Turtledove Balance novels were a good inspiration for this kind of thing. Let me know if you’re still interested in this game concept. There is actually someone who started this a few years back with the old A and A Classic map and some fun ideas for introducing Zs into WW2, but I’ve always preferred bigger maps and lots of different unit types.

Well … I was really thinking of their Kamikaze attacks – so, I suggest extra range. But, you correct – it was just a suggestion versus giving the Japanese airforce attacking/defending bonuses.
-
well even there Kamakaze attacks aren’t as sucessful as we think… could not give you the source(forgot) but I heard one time that they really only had a 2% SUCESS RATE… the were rarely successful just a waste of pilots

Why Churchill?
-
i got the other 4 names off the A&A PC game’s 5 star level, except Patton was a 4 star. but the UK said MONTGOMERY and i really dont know anything about himor the other 2 on there, and i figured churchill was more of a recognizable name.
i think i like Guerrilla Guy’s idea of the amphib bonus for the japanese, never really crossed my mind before. i thought about the kamikaze thing, but couldnt really come up witha fair way for it to work, closest thing i got to was for every 3 jap fighters destroyed at sea, one gets a kamikaze, or something along those lines.
-
or maybe just an Infantry Ampib bonus…
-
I am not familiar with the rule can y’all bring me up to speed?
-
Amphibious Assualt??
land with troops and the BB in the battle that can fires land bombard and the units can’t retreat…
-
I have played this way alot, but id use montgomery or alexander instead of churchill.

yeah….

I don’t think the name matters but whatever! :roll:
I think that the American and Japanese are too good and Germany’s is not good enough (I mean Rommel really was brilliant).

maybe +1 ATTACK, DEFENSE Armor
-
I voted that your idea needs some work because you forgot that aside from being in Africa,Rommel also helped build the massive defense system in Normandy before the Allied invasin.

while this is true, he is most renowned as the “desert fox” for his work with the afrika corps in north africa.

I like the Generals Rule - Hey M-4 where in FLA are you located?
I’m In Kissimmee~ -
last I checked churchill was only a political leader not a military one. a few touch ups could be made here and there but it is pretty good.

I believe churchill shouldn’t be lost if you have no air force…
-
yeah i agree with drumstix, germany’s it to weak. i like the idea of +1 to attack/defense
-
I like the general idea. A few things could definately use work, but i’ll just do one. If you’re gonna go generals, really go with generals, Churchill was really just a cheerleader, took care of all the fancy talkin’. Monty as a general could be really cool, like do a Paratroopers sort of thing where bombers could drop two inf/armor anywhere in its range. He really loved that sort of stuff.

Yeah, and then he came up with Operation Market Garden.
