Tomorrow night I will be hosting a Battle of Yonkers game for our local group. It will be the last time I run this game(I think) and wanted to get some good pictures and keep a record of it. I have run this game at three HMGS conventions and it is always a hit. The game consists of over 1000 15mm Zombies and I use a modified set of Flames of War rules. (which work well). Here are some pictures of the initial zombie setup. The board is 4' wide and the zombies are 6" deep.

WOW! That looks fantastic! I wouldn't want to be an infantryman with a SAW looking at that horde. Great rendition of the WWZ battle scene. Looking forward to a batrep & many pics!

Now that is a Bleeped texting lot of Zombies!!!

Moe the Great07 Oct 2014 9:46 a.m. PST

And of course keeping in the spirit of the story, to accurate represent 9.2 million zombies, When any zombie base is destroyed it goes to the back of the line.

I think the current record is 312 bases killed.

Holy mackerel! Sort of gives you a whole new perspective on the meaning of "zombie horde."

Last time. Say it isn't so Moe. There are many a soul just waiting for their chance to be eaten. The horde must go on!

Moe the Great07 Oct 2014 6:39 p.m. PST

if you let me borrow the troops again Jimmy, I will run it again at cold wars.
( the horde and terrain are mine but the US soldiers are Jimmy's and I've borrowed them for 3 years now… :)

Moe the Great07 Oct 2014 6:40 p.m. PST

I will have a body count and AAR after the game. Stay tuned..

Delta Vee08 Oct 2014 5:56 a.m. PST

looks astounding, I do have one question, ( and its more story than rules) why dint they just use a couple of road rollers / mine rollers on the front of the M1s / brads that they have squishy paste is squishy ? and a Zed cant stop them, as long as you've fuel you could drive up and down all day and not be affected.

Moe the Great08 Oct 2014 6:49 a.m. PST

That is a megacrapton of zombies. Prepare the lube when that lot crashes home.

Very impressive.

There's a WWZ fanfic on homepageofthedead.com titled "Yonkers" where the author makes a few more suggestions why we lost at Yonkers. Fairly good read.
