FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
instruction: “Before the start of the next scenario:
Q: Can a zombie attack a character standing on
hindering terrain? A: Yes.
Q: If a character is standing on a hindering terrain
square and is caught in a grenade blast, does the
hindering terrain give them any cover? A: No.
Q: If I attack a Kugelfisch with a weapon that has a
ROF of 2 or more and I roll both a stun and a wound
result, does the Kugelfisch still pop even though I
killed it? A: Yes, the stun result represents your
attack piercing its bloated body, so, even though you
also shot it in the head, killing it, you’ve also burst it
open and the noxious gases escaped.
Q: I’ve unlocked the Preferred Weapon skill for my
character (giving them a -1 attack modifier with their
preferred weapon). If I have my preferred weapon
readied, is that -1 modifier applied when trying to
escape a zombie’s H2H lock? A: Yes, it is. When
attempting to escape a lock apply the same attack
modifiers you would do if you were making a H2H
attack.
Q: If a zombie is adjacent to a locked character, a
character who is not locked and a civilian (or soldier),
can I choose for the zombie to attack the
civilian/soldier? A: Yes, as the preference is for
locked characters over unlocked characters; civilians
fall under player choice. However, if you didn’t want
the zombie to attack the civilian/soldier you would
have to choose the locked character.
Q: If I have sufficient negative attack modifiers that
I’m stunning on a 1, what happens if I roll a 1? Do I
still lose ammo? A: The effects are not exclusive -
you both lose 1 ammo and stun the zombie.
Likewise, if you’re stunning on a 2 and you’re
attacking past a figure in your LOF, you both wound
the intervening figure and stun the zombie.
Q: The Between Scenarios section has the
each character must either increase their fatigue by
1 or consume 1 food”. If I consume food to avoid
gaining the 1 fatigue, can I also consume 1 food to
reduce fatigue? A: No, a character can only consume
1 food between scenarios and this includes the food
consumed to avoid increasing fatigue.
Q: The trenches in scenarios #09 (BLOCKING
DETACHMENT) and #15 (NOT ONE STEP BACK) have
special rules that differ from the rules for trenches in
the rulebook – which do I use? A: Any special rules in
a scenario always override those of the rulebook.
Q: Special scenario rules for trenches show
movement costs as either “Enter trench for
1MP/2MPs” or “Enter trench for 1MP” – does this
mean I can enter a trench while moving diagonally
for only 1 MP? Also, what does the “/” in the first set
of costs represent? A: No, the costs quoted are on
top of your regular movement costs – e.g., entering a
trench with a diagonal move costs 3 MP, 2 for the
diagonal move and 1 for the trench. Where you see
MP costs separate be a “/” it represents different
costs depending on whether the character is walking
or running.
Q: Some craters/foxholes have the yellow hindering
terrain border and some don’t – is there a rules
difference between these? A: No, in both cases use
the rules as described below in the errata for the
Craters, Foxholes and Trenches section on page 15 of
the rulebook.
Q: Some scenario maps have an “M” in some
squares, what are these? A: The “M” means that the
square is mined – see page 42 of the rulebook for
details.
