I was using a scenario from the "Haven" expansion to ATZ and the event cards are also non-standard items.<br /><br />The terrain is cardboard & foamcore. Most of it is from Worldworks Games, though the burger bar is from Fat Dragon. Vehicles are from the same sources and also from Genet Models and Stoelzel's Structures.Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-81670639358641666822015-02-14T13:39:07.989+00:002015-02-14T13:39:07.989+00:00The only real chance they had was to avoid using g...The only real chance they had was to avoid using guns (or vehicles - they make noise too!) except as necessary against other humans.
