We're checking in with Dawn as she faces off against Sam (who has his own Youtube Channel worth checking out - MrStainless101) on the tabletop with some new survivors.
It's 'good guys' versus 'bad guys' and we'll back later to find out how it's all going.
Got to win with Michone.
My wife thinks I’m obsessed with the Walking Dead , and Zombies in general.
She expressed this opinion after I had told her the plan she needs to remember in case of a zombie apocalypse. I covered the escape plan and where to hold up. I really don’t think she is taking this seriously.
She really should. Have you read the survival guide?
I read and watch everything !!!
I’m afraid I have to dissapoint you, Michonne was taken slain 🙁
:'(
Moar zombies!
Compound bow should be quite enough no louder than say a crossbow.
I think it depends on whether or not you go all Duke boy and yell yee haw when you fire or not.
Dawn has got an excellent choice of T-shirt for stating she ain’t to be messed with!
so here are the girls – hey dawn
Michonne ftw
I agree bows are almost silent. An excellent stealth weapon.
Why thankyou, much quieter than a gun
Go Dawn hand him his handbag lol
Unfortunately there were no handbags handed this game. Perhaps next time Dawn will triumph
Good luck Dawn!
Is Dawn going to have a WD themed t-shirt for every day? Go, girl, go!
The more I hear about this game the more I think it might brake my bias against licensed TV, movie games.
It’s absolutely fantastic, it’s actually licensed on the graphic novels rather than the TV show
just wondering if anyone’s had a match up between Glenn & negan yet?
When that Threat-Meter hits “High-Threat”, things start to get downhill fast ; )
A bow has to be silent
It definitely is as we found out seconds later
Michonne will just the arrows away
Good luck Dawn.
I wonder if the characters are balanced. Rooting for the BOW team.
The characters were pretty balanced, we had a point max of 155 to spend. I had more characters but they were weaker, Dawn had two very strong characters…and Carl…Carl died quit quickly.
Dawn must win!!
Unfortunately she did not but she gave me a run for my money
As the points begin to increase, it’d be interesting to see how a smaller group of ‘big guns’ would do against a larger mob of ‘mooks’. By using a sacrificial lamb to pull zombies in a particular direction, the larger group could bring some interesting tactics to bear. Likewise, even a tough character is going to have a problem if they get swarmed by walkers, and losing a character when you only have a handful could be painful.
Compound bow at the BoW day? Good choice!
Why thankyou!
Compound bow sounds good.
Could be a new beasts of war alchemy series.
Does Michone have chained Walkers who mask her in any scenarios?
that would be amazing
I hope there are rules for that.
She will! There are plans to release a Michonne walker that includes her two walker buddies way down the line. I believe it was teased in the Kickstarter
compound bow is a good choice, not as good as a katana but still quite good
Adding Michone to Rick and Carl could be a game for Dawn, let`s hope the dice gods shine on Dawn.
Pah….ah pity the fool who thinks he can stand up to our Dawny!
I’d say the compound bow couldn’t make any more noise than a crossbow and in the show at least it seems to be quite enough.
I like camping, but I wouldn’t want to be stuck out there in one of those tents!
Swords and bows have to be the way to go… silent but deadly ;P
C’mon, she’s gotta be *Dawn of The Walking Dead* for the weekend!
Blaster was here…
With the question of are bows silent, raises the thought since I don’t have the game yet. Are there different levels of noise or is noise just noise?
I heard it said running makes noise, but shooting a gun would be noisier. Anyone with the rules know?
Go Dawn Go
I’d have to have Michone in my group as well. Slicey, Dicey, Oncey, Twicey! (sry, slipped into a Dredd reference for a minute there).
Hmmm, no wo go through the next 20 posts to find out if 4 strong worked out.
I can’t escape playing hordes, no I just embrace it.
Sword and bow definitely the weapon of choice.
the gaming tables are looking amazing
Lots of support for Dawe… so you go Sam you can beat her
I would always play with Michonne, I think she’s one of best characters in the series
Just checked out Sam’s Channel. What a nice guy! aha! looks like a good gaming channel, he has a soothing voice too, good background for getting some painting done haha
Awesome. I wish I was there.
Lets hear it for the archer. Go Daryl.
how did the Compound Bow work out?
Wow silent but deadly,quiet ranged attacks rule..
Silent Bows! I can’t wait to break this out with the gaming guys!
Surely a bows quiet!
Have started putting together the Plastcraft Colored stuff I picked up at Salute earlier in the year. Have the Power station, diner and the gas station part of the caravan done. Just the barn and caravan left to do. Also picked up a “Dale’s” Winnebago, which looks very similar to one in the pictures on this post (mine is from TT Combat) so looking forward to getting all the stuff on the table for a game.
Let’s see if Dawn can get a second win!
Katana is not the ultimate zombie apocalypse weapon.
Go Dawn!!!
Walking Dead is fun!
Oooo, both sides bringing some silent weapons. Should be a good one, and a bloody one!
Great game!
This terrain is great
Compound bow great choice
I wonder if having 4 characters is better than having less but better equipped characters.
