Earlier this week, I finally finished World War Z, the masterpiece psuedo-history book by Max Brooks which recounts the ‘history’ of a worldwide outbreak of ‘Zombie Plague’ and it’s effects on mankind.
It’s an excellent book – highly recommended (although if you wish, you can always wait and see the upcoming movie, with a screenplay written by J.Michael Straczynski – he of Babylon 5 fame).
So, it was excellent timing for Two Hour Wargames to bring out their all new updated version of
AllThings Zombie – Better Dead Than Zed – a must buy PDF.
Now, I know that there are many out there that don’t like Zombie games, but I must admit to being a huge fan.
With this purchase, plus the recent purchases of Ambush Z and Apocalypse Z, I feel another Zombie special show coming on…especially since my last zombie special podcast episode is one of my most popular downloads!

…Another Zombie Game.
Too Right!
Continuing the excellent set of releases from Ambush Alley Games comes Ambush Z – just in time for Halloween!
Ambush Alley is a great game for gaming modern combat, and now this new ruleset takes us, yet again, into the modern Zombie game genre…so you can game all those cool battles from World War Z to your hearts content!
And Ambush Z is just that – it’s not a supplement, but a stand alone game. So, even if you want to game zombies, but don’t want to game modern warfare, you have no excuse.
It’s a 74 page rulebook, and comes complete with 5 scenarios. It’s only available as a PDF, but for $20 it looks to be well worth it.
Since it’s that time of year, I will shoe-horn a review of these rules into the next podcast…
