First playing "Escape from Stalingrad-Z"

As explained in previous post, a rulebook and scenarios book for playing bizarre idea "Scape from Stalingrado Z" (actually (I would have rather chosen scape from Z-talingrado as name for the game, but whatever :), AMD I developed a series of 1/72 figures to use instead tokens, knewing that It would give a lot more fun.
I finished all figures and even made some decent scenografy already .
The Game allows to play many solo scenarios in a campaign,so I tested the Game with three of them, with some terror atmosphere music around and totally alone as wife and children are out of the city for some days
What an experience!! i really enjoyed a lot.
Rules at the begimming can be some harsh for remembering many modifiers movement, actions and fight, as well as the altternance with the zombie actions and their mechsnicbs, but after some turns It ran good.. only a D12 is needed, but many different tokens to be watched.  

i started Game with Wehrmacht sappeur Tilo, who fougjt alone against undead for 2 scenarios. 

He was joint in third by Brave russian Sniper woman Dasha. Both scaped to fourth scenario, equipped with a Lugar , a knife and the Sniper rifle of the girl, but she brings two wounds..Will she became a zombie?? Will they find more survivors and or weapons? To be continued.

Bizarre Things..Soviets, nazis nand Zombies

Hi, many projects stopped at same time...coonciding with working on many 28mm figs for playing with the human nin-1/72 community :(

Anyway a friend showed me this Funny surprise...
crazy Proposal :) :)
Russian and Germán survivors trying to scape from a zombie infestation exactly during Battle of Stalingrad!!! Could not turn the head to other place :)

We got the manual and the book of scenaries...But the básic box was too far from budget...But as the scenarios ar e confortably to play directly on the A4 size book with a 1cmx1cm grid...I realized 1/72 figs fit quite good...
Which figs??? Well, no problema with normal german and soviet soldiers...(althougj I had to take some samples from a friend, as I am more specialized un ancient-medieval-fantasy), but playa le characters are se special... And what about ZOMBIES???
Well, some figures from Dark Alliance and some conversions with all odd pose ww2 figs did the job :) Here my preliminar results.

i think my converted 8 survivors characters match also good :)
Dasha- unmodified Zvezda soviet Sniper
Lydia- converted strelets stalingrad Germán to a fighting nurse in warm clothes
Katyuska - revell siberian rifle with just a change of genre
Algyr -unmodified revell siberian grenade thrower

Becker- unmodified Airfix pistol Office
Steiner- unmodified Caesar Mp40 stalingrad soldier/ncu
Reiser- i took an modified Atlántic Germán rifleman
Til: till now unmodified Revell Germán panzergrenadier with sleeves rolled


 You can check how good they look on the scenario drawings :)
I working some scenery and hope to play soon :) :)
