...Nearly missed your comments, Colin and Peekaboo.<br /><br />@Colin. Your very kind comments have been a real inspiration to me. I know it has been a long wait for my first batrep of 2011 but here it is in all its gory glory and I'm so glad you like it.<br /><br />@Peekaboo. It's always been my philosophy when writing batreps to educate as well as entertain. Seeing and reading examples of gameplay as I write them will hopefully give you a better grasp of the rules.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-5436516971019814542011-05-10T07:09:52.873+01:002011-05-10T07:09:52.873+01:00Thanks Vampifan for this juicy batrep!

I always get a few eye openers and/or reminders about the ATZ rules when I read your batreps.

I'm surprised he hasn't ended up as zombie chow before now!<br /><br />I'll certainly think about throwing in a few questions after the To Be Continued announcement. I have thought about doing a scenario that is just a dream/nightmare of Vampifan... but this isn't it! I'm still typing in the events of part 2, but all of the photos are in place. I'm fully confident that I'll be able to post part 2 on Sunday.<br /><br />@Werewolf8. Nice to hear from you again. I've got all four of Mel's FSU models and I've made one of each type apart from the small FSU, of which I have made two. I think they're great and I'm sure I'll be making more of them in different colour schemes. The street light you mentioned came from a Heroclix scenery set. There were two available featuring 4 pieces of indoor and 4 pieces of oudoor furniture. I reckon they are out of production now but maybe you might find tham on eBay. I only got one of each set and I wish I'd bought more.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-69666093411549555252011-05-05T18:39:10.807+01:002011-05-05T18:39:10.807+01:00Really great report, best one yet I think.

It's probably unlikely, but if ever you visit England, I'd be more than happy to game with you. Comments like yours just inspire me so much.<br /><br />@Brian. I'd like to say more about Rhiannon but I'm afraid you're just going to have to wait for part 2 to discover her fate.<br /><br />@Johnny. Nice to hear that I've brightened your morning. I'll do a review soon of the corpses I've bought and converted. There's enough material for at least two posts. I think that corpses strewn about the cityscape adds to the ambience of the game.<br /><br />@Adam. So you like what I've been doing? Seriously though, thanks for the compliments. Please feel free to steal any ideas you like. I have decided that Part 2 will wrap up this scenario.
