John presents us with another Zona Alpha battle report.<\/p>\n

A Zona Alfa Solo play battle report, a continuation from The Hostage in bunker c7.
\n\"\"It had all been too good to be true. With half a kilometre travelled the BPM 97 coughed and spluttered it\u2019s last and came to a grinding halt.
\n\u2018Where are we?\u2019 Kovacs asked. \u2018Strelets\u2019 replied Leila, \u2018The fence is just beyond the village\u2019. He picked up a cluster of hotspots in the village and with the zombies in pursuit He needed to think fast.
\n\u2018Ice Queen, booby trap the doors, they\u2019ll smell our sweat first\u2019. Cover us whilst we check out the village.\u2019 \u2018Leila, grab the wire cutters and stock up on grenades everyone\u2019.
\nKovacs headed out first followed by Leila. They\u2019d reached the outskirts of the village as the zombies arrived. Sure enough they triggered the Booby trap and the doors were well and truly blown off.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Four of the zombies are caught in the blast zone. With an \u2018armour\u2019 of 6 minus 2 for the grenade blast, they need 4 or less to survive. Two down!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ice Queen takes aim at the zombies.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Ice Queen aims 3 shots at the zombies but only hits one (needing 7 or less).The Zombie is downed. She has no further actions fortunately, the zombies have activated twice this turn.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Whilst she could, Ice Queen ran around the building to Kovacs and Leila. \u2018This will slow us down\u2019 muttered Kovacs as Leila attempted to take out the zombies unsuccessfully. Kovacs lobbed a well aimed grenade in their direction and all three fell dead.<\/p>\n

\"\"
All three zombies are caught in the blast zone and all fail their armour save rolls, needing 4 or less<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Picking their way through the village, it was clear that other hotspots would be triggered. \u2018Better choose ourselves\u2019 said Kovacs as he tossed a bolt at the building in front triggering the hot spot
\n\u2018Holy Cow! Four mechs\u2019 groaned Kovacs.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Between Kovacs and Ice Queen, two mechs are destroyed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018Drat!\u2019 shouted Kovacs as one of the mechs aimed at him. Luckily it missed, the second mech fired and wounded Ice Queen before it too was downed.
\n\"\"Having disposed of the Mechs and administering a med pack to Ice Queen, Kovacs weaved between the village buildings and clambered onto some farm machinery to get a clear throw for a bolt toss to trigger the hot spot near the fence. It was then that Kovacs noticed the sensors.<\/p>\n

\"\"
A good throw triggered the hot spot, revealing a huge Man eating plant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018What the \u2026\u2019 \u2018Ice Queen, here now!\u2019 shouted Kovacs.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
A skilful shot from the sniper rifle takes out the mutant who rolled a 10 needing a 3 or less to survive<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018Leila, run to the fence and cut a hole in the wire \u2013 don\u2019t worry about the alarm\u2019 ordered Kovacs. Without a fumble, the bolt cutters easily made a hole in the fence as the alarm started, waking up some Ghouls \u2013 tortured irradiated souls who had escaped from the Sanatorium.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
Kovacs opens up first and between him and Ice Queen, the ghouls are eliminated<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As Kovacs makes a run for the fence, the mayhem roused a group of zombies near the bath house.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ice Queen was stranded, deserted by her comrades. With the alarms going, there was only one course of action to survive. Her Sniper rifle weighed too much, she had to ditch it to stand a chance and run for the wire before the zombies got to her. At the wire, Kovacs handed her a bottle of Electric Juice . \u2018Here take this\u2019. \u2018Now run for that Sewage drain to the left\u2019. They made it into the cold damp darkness of the sewage pipe before the first drone came over. \u2018You owe me\u2019 howled Ice Queen.
\n<\/span>Some people say you can never get rid of the smell.<\/span>
