I have been looking at this game for quite some time now. I am now thinking with their combo deals about finally picking up the core game and some expansions. Was wondering if any one has any play experience with it and can give their learned "sage advice". |

Cant help w/ experienced advice, but have been watching their game, the mini's look great. Also debating taking the leap. As for rules, a 'number' of people play "All Things Zombie" (ATZ) by "Two Fat Lardies" if Im not mistaken, you can get it from their online store. If interested, read a few 'episodess of "Thors Journal", its an on going Solo game a guy is running. Its really well done. |

All Things Zombie is by Two Hour Wargames I believe. |

There is also a free zombie download for GASLIGHT on Wargames Vault, but you need a copy of GASLIGHT. |

I've bought a set of the rules and counters to use with my 20mm zombie collection…..still prepping terrain at the moment and yet to play them. I found several videos on YouTube detailing their play…… |

Came and went on Dakka. Most of them were unhappy that Wargames raised the prices on the original low-priced Wargames Factory models. |

@ced1106 You were aware of this..
Warlord Games and Wargames Factory Partnership07-Aug-2015 It was the last 'Latest News' item posted on the WF page. Note the date of the announcement. Out of curiosity I just ck'd their 'store' to see what would come up..as expected. Store Closed Warlord Games and Dreamforge-Games are the primary distributors of Wargames Factory Products. Please visit their sites and retailers carrying their products to purchase. I have noticed that WL 'did' release -some- WF miniatures, but a number were simply DC'ed. |

I bought the most recent deal with the Spec-Ops and compound. I supplemented it with a box of Females and the Motorcyle set. I don't know if I will play these rules or the various ones listed above (we tried Akula and ATZ in the past). The combo deals are great for terrain and minis. Realizing that Warlord is a Miniatures company I understand why the do not sell the cards separately from the minis, but unless you are willing to buy the expansions, you cannot get all the cards directly (although a bit of searching on the internet can round up photos of many of these). Going to give the game a test next month to see how it rolls. I do lust for the Sarissa grocery store and the 4Ground Mall for more zombie mayhem. |

Gaz0045 I found several videos on YouTube detailing their play… Do you recall which rules set was used in the videos? |

Project Z…….there were links on the Warlord Games website……I have ATZ and Akulas rules (these are good!) but I'm still looking for that 'sweet spot'! |

Well I broke down and ordered the core game and two of each expansion box. I thought it was a pretty good bundle for $200. USD Already have some paper buildings and terrain from Gangs of Mega City-1. So I wasn't very interested in the compound bundle or the shopping center. |
