Zombie Attack- Get to the Chopper Mrs. President!

My second Cold Wars game worth noting, has the (alternate universe) President of the United States Hillary Clinton attempting to make her way with her staff from the second White House to a waiting helicopter. Local militia groups and law enforcement hold the barricades with the (probably fruitless) promise that the next wave of helicopters are right around the corner to evacuate them and any other civilians in the 'safe' zone. Can they hold?


Over on the extreme left, over eight hundred zombies (each one an individual miniature,
with no duplicates) all clamored to get over the barricades and taste the flesh of the
town's defenders.

State and local police join forces with a local biker gang and the
Dukes of Hazzard to hold the line against the horde.

Now, over on the left a smaller horde is split between the blocked Presidential
Convoy and the straw bale barricades.

On the one side, Jim Bob's Redneck Rangers prepare to
exercise their second amendment rights...

... while on the other the Liberal ladies pick up some hated deadly
weaponry in order to clear the way for the First Woman President.

The game used a really simple system, using Popsicle sticks
for all movement and determining ranges.

The Presidential convoy, stopped in its tracks. In the front we have a Secret
Service team, protecting the Presidential detail in the middle with the
Vice-Presidential Detail next with Seal Team Six bringing up the rear.

In this alternate universe, due to the losses in Washington DC, Joe
Biden has once again assumed the mantle of Vice-President. Unbeknownst
to anyone else, one of his detail is actually a CDC scientist with a
potential cure!

Oh no! Intelligence reports that the route to Genericsburg was free have
been proven very incorrect. With the helicopter so close, the President
and her retinue will have to make a run for it!

On the right side of the car you have Madam President Clinton and
her secret service agents assigned directly to her person.

If you look closely at the left side of the car, you might see Bill
Clinton with his pink-dress clad favorite 'intern'. Yeah, its a pretty
tongue and cheek sort of game.

As the rest of the Presidential detail moves forwards in a tight group,
VP Joe Biden sprints out ahead of the pack. Real leaders lead in
times of crisis- zombies be damned.

Of course the rest of his detail weren't quite so fast, the secret service agents
sticking as close to the CDC scientist as possible.

Seal Team Six started mowing down an astounding number of zombies,
but one of their number was surrounded, taking more than one injuries
before the creatures were put down.

With the zombies attracted to the larger group of people, Sneaky
Joe Biden continues his one man rush forwards. Scott free for
now, just how long will he manage to avoid becoming zombie chow?

Still, one of Joe's Secret Service agents are hot on his trail ,with the CDC
Scientist in tow. Let the other detail's get eaten, keep your eye on the ball!

Seal Team Six continues to cut down zombies in the backfield, even while
Joe's other two secret service agents are trapped on the SUV.

While moving forwards, suddenly (due to a card played by another player)
an ambulance suddenly bursts open with a mini group of EIGHT zombies!

With a huge horde in front, and now a troupe of ambulance zombies,
the CDC scientist starts up an old police car and (after Joe Biden and
Secret Service agent jump) drives right through the horde... and through
the barricades.

Joe, with his blinding charisma, manages to rally both rednecks and liberal
ladies from outside the car door- even killing a zombie that pops up
in the back seat with his bare hands.

Slow and steady win the race? The President and her detail certainly hope so.

Almost there...!

The zombies have broken through on the other side, cops and militia
pulling back as the wave of flesh comes forwards.

With zombies swarming and strange anarchists jumping out of barns
President Clinton and her husband are slowing down dangerously...

All the while, Joe Biden has made it to the helicopter! But the damn pilot
doesn't want to leave without waiting for the President.

Surrounded by zombies on all sides, Jim Bob drops his stash of moonshine at
his feet, taking himself and most of the zombies out in a huge explosion to let
his rangers and the liberal ladies to fall back to the helicopter.

The blur is a motion blur- with the President surrounded by the dead
and the copter full of survivors, the pilot finally decides to leave- just as
the town below is utterly overrun. Joe Biden finally gets to be President.

The three factions who managed to get into the helicopter and get away in
some way, shape or form. Between zombie kills, getting the CDC scientist
off with his cure, and getting off the board (WITHOUT the President on
the helicopter) I managed to win the scenario! Woo~
