My thoughts were group activations on the zombies with a random direction of movement. They will move towards the sound of gun fire and will move toward and...

I agree with Dale on this... If using the Romero Mmovies for a template outrunning the zombies is never a problem... the problem is the unrelenting hoard. The...
Hi all, I looked in TFoMB and I didn't see this, but then, I may be blind and missed it. If I fire a HE round from a tank, I roll against the gunner's CV and...

I'm thinking about using TFOMB for a few projects this year as I really like the system, but I have a couple of questions: 1.) Has anyone cooked up range...
OK I'll buy the Nam supplement and try to work up into more modern versions of the guns from there and guesstimate the 40mm ranges. If I come up with anything...
