| BATMAN AND JIM GORDON BATTLE WEREWOLVES |
This game was played using the ‘Season One’ rules of “Zombicide” by “Guillotine Games” and as we were attempting the mission C19 “A Little Setback” we used the Tiles 5B, 6B and 7B. Because I wanted to try out the rules playing with superheroes, and have plenty of painted “Heroclix” and “SLAP Miniatures” ready for the table, we simply swapped the Survivors, Walkers, Runners and Fatties with some of my previously finished models…
“The story so far… The super-villain Hyena has sworn to murder Commissioner Jim Gordon before he can collect a file of evidence from a nearby G.C.P.D. evidence store and bring her to justice. Having set out to collect the file, the Police officer has had to flee to a local restaurant as the streets are full of Hyena’s were-minions looking to claim the bounty on his head. As a result Gordon has locked himself inside the diner’s bathroom, knowing full well that the fangs of his foes are right outside. Hearing of his long-term friend’s predicament over the police radio, the Dark Knight has arrived on foot nearby. But there’s both werewolves and buildings between him and his fellow crimefighter, and then the duo will still need to collect the court file from the evidence locker…”

| THE TABLETOP - THE STREETS OF GOTHAM CITY |
Before we started we changed a couple of the printed scenario’s special rules in order to make it a bit different. Instead of following the “Split without enough weapons” instructions we gave Commissioner Gordon a pistol and a crowbar, whilst Batman was awarded a pistol and was allowed a free search action. In addition we ignored “It’s quiet for the moment” and used all of the Zombie cards from the ‘Season One’ boxed set. |
| BATMAN RACES TO THE RESCUE OF COMMISSIONER JIM GORDON |
The game started with Batman moving north up the street so he had sight of the entire length of Alucard Avenue. This was a sound plan as the Dark Knight suddenly found himself outflanked by a grey lycanthrope (runner) to his west and a brown-furred fiend to his east. Jim Gordon meanwhile found another crowbar in the rest room, and decided to sit tight and simply listen to the howls of the three werewolves just outside. |
| THE DARK KNIGHT FACES THE WEREWOLVES OF THE HYENA |
Realising the faster of the two fanged-frights was the biggest threat, the Caped Crusader fired two slugs into the beast. His cowl eye-slots narrowed as his shots flew wide, and Batman moved back south to put some space between himself and his fast-moving target. Gordon continued searching for anything useful in the restaurant’s bathroom and to his astonishment found a hunting rifle tucked away in one corner. Meanwhile the grey werewolf had leapt into contact with the Dark Knight, just as more fearsome howls were heard coming from Alucard Avenue. |
| BATMAN FENDS OFF THE FANGS AND CLAWS OF KILLER LYCANTHROPES |
Batman finally managed to fell his furry foe and also ‘killed’ the brown werewolf at the north end of the street. Hearing the sounds of a nearby battle, Jim decided it was time to fight for his freedom and wrenched open the bathroom door. His rifle fired twice, and two of the werewolves waiting for him outside crumpled to the floor. Although the third one was upon him in an instant… |
| GOTHAM CITY'S FINEST DISPATCH THE HYENA'S FURRY FIENDS |
The Dark Knight managed to shoot another werewolf to his north, and moved up into Alucard Avenue. Meanwhile the G.C.P.D. detective thwacked his foe about his furry head twice with a crowbar, and made to leave the restaurant. Up ahead Jim could hear more howls as more lycanthropes appeared in Alucard Avenue. |
| BATMAN FIGHTS ON AS JIM GORDON ESCAPES THE RESTAURANT |
Commissioner Gordon had a last look around the diner, picked up ‘plenty of ammo’ and then moved north into Alucard Avenue. Just in sight the policeman could see Batman slaying the werewolf which was coming at him from the west and then miss the furry fright which had appeared between them. Sensing he was about to be overrun, a frustrated Batman slipped back south again. A good move as even more werewolves arrived. |
| RUSHING TO HIS FRIEND'S RESCUE, GORDON SPOTS LOADS OF WEREWOLVES |
Eager to clear his cowled friend a pathway to his side, Gordon fired his rifle and ‘killed’ two of the newly arrived lycanthropes. Now it was just down to Batman to fight his way north but the Caped Crusader was having a bad day, and failed to fell any of his foes. One of the beasts closed with him, whilst the Dark knight spotted even more appearing at the north end of the street. Sensing blood the Hyena herself then suddenly appeared to the northeast, accompanied by two slavering were-wolves. |
| THE HYENA MAKES AN APPEARANCE HERSELF, FLANKED BY MORE WEREWOLVES |
Gordon continued to try and clear Alucard Avenue so the vigilante crimefighter could reach him. But the policeman was only able to floor one of the werewolves who had just arrived in the street. Batman meanwhile managed to fend off the two lycanthropes who were encircling him. But another hairy horror replaced them and the Hyena was getting rather close. Gordon tried to yell out some encouragement to the Caped Crusader but the shout died in his throat as two more brown werewolves appeared before him. |
| COMMISSIONER GORDON AND THE DARK KNIGHT CONTINUE TO BATTLE |
Firing his rifle the Police Commissioner had to retreat south when his shots missed. He was being pushed back to the restaurant. Batman was having problems of his own as all three of his attacks upon his furry foe missed, and he was wounded. Worse, the Hyena and her two fanged companions joined in the fight. He was going down next turn… |
| BATMAN IS WOUNDED AND ENCIRCLED AS JIM GORDON FLEES |
Batman managed to fell one of his assailants, and as a result gained an additional action, which he used for a fourth and final attack. The Caped Crusader was going to take as many of his opponents down with him. Unfortunately this shot also missed and the Hyena was upon him, teeth biting and claws rending… Realising his ‘saviour’ was no more Commissioner Gordon pondered whether to ‘go it alone’ for the court file. But any resistance left him when he heard the distant approach of Chemo… |
| THE END OF THE CAPED CRUSADER AS THE HUGE VILLAIN CHEMO APPEARS |
Disappointingly G.C.P.D. had failed to bring the evil Hyena to justice and make the were-creature pay for her many crimes. But Commissioner Gordon had managed to escape alive and well and would soon be ready to fight another day, alongside a new incarnation of the Dark Knight...
