Zombicide Black Plague

[Noisysteve]

Quest 3 (again!)

Time to revisit the zombie invested village, in an effort to rescue the few living left.
Last time we took 7, this time we took 8.
My daughters came to play their first miniature game.
Sophie chose Cadence, a young huntsman
Isabelle chose Ysabel, the farmers wife
Justin chose Azure , a dark elf swordsman
Ollie again chose Mortimer, a knight with a Great sword
Stu chose Baldric, a wizard
Ralph chose Dr Stormcrow, a plague doctor
Mick chose Zena lookalike Xuxa , again!
And I chose a dwarf lord, Bazak

Following a discussion, a plan was agreed. Hit the big central building first, while the threat level was low. A good idea, if only we had followed it!
Dr Stormcrow, Bazak, and Ysabel went into the first building they found, taking out the zombies lurking there, and opening up a vault door.
Mortimer went for a stroll, admiring the architecture.
The rest stuck to the plan, and advanced up the street to the large building.
A Necromancer appeared early, as did an abomination.
Dr Stormcrow grabbed the vault artifact, which turned out to be a Dwarven Shield.
Cadence guarded the street while Xuxa, Azure, Baldric, and the returned Mortimer, smashed in the door and entered the building.
Now the threat rose, and more zombies poured into the village.
More Necromancers arrived, the zombie horde threatening to over run us.
Dr Stormcrow, Bazak, now joined by Baldric, smashed their way out of the vault, clearing the building they found themselves in.
Cadence took out more zombies, but was about to be overrun by Wolfz . Mortimer appeared in a storm of steel, and cleaved his way through them. Inside the building, Xuxa, and Ysabel took out zombies and the Neromancer they was guarding. Azure cleared the entrance room, and bent to help the villager sprawled on the floor. To his horror, zombies and an abomination, crawled out of the floor, overwhelming Azure, and killing him.
Xuxa and Ysabel now found themselves cut off and surrounded, Xuxa sacrificing herself, then the zombies took Ysabel down.
An Abominataur smashed through a wall of a building, looking for fresh blood.
More Necromancers appeared, and because we had 4 swarm points in one zone, they quickly escaped and the game was over.

Again we got overran by both Necromancers and zombies very quickly.
I had changed the makeup of the swarm deck before the game, but maybe next time, I might take out a couple of abominations , a necromancer, and the wolfs, at least until we get to Wolfsburg.

Really enjoyed this, I think this is now my fave game! My daughters had a great time, and really got stuck in. Thanks to all the other players for helping them out, and making the game such a fun experience.
I am determined we will beat this game, so next time, quest 3 , take 3!!!
