Zona Alfa

Played a game of Zona Alfa just using the original rules ,playing military v bandits , a great game really quick and fought to a fine win for Johns Bandits . the game was so good I forgot to take any pictures other than the starting line ups and the initial table lay out . All the figures are Patrick Miniatures painted in army painter speed paints

zona Alfa - new figures

After my recent games I wanted some figures that better represented the bandits and civilian characters in the game ,plus wanted a suitable dog to represent Laika for the Scattered Readings scenario ,so I went straight to Patrick Miniatures and got what I wanted ,the figures are well detailed need very little if any cleaning and take paint really well plus the service is excellent All the new figures are shown below and are painted with Speed Paints

Zona Alfa

Got a couple of Zona Alfa games in using the `kontraband supplement for solo play ,great game made a couple of mistakes but overall pretty easy to pick up.

most of the figures are Patrick miniatures as is the russian store

Zona Alfa -all done

Finished all the important stuff for Zona Alfa ,well at least enough to play the game .I finished all the bits I bought from Patrick Miniatures ,with the last one being the ruined shop ,a superb model that comes with achoice of signs ,in the photo I have used the shoe store sign but it also comes withbakery and grocery store as well,the removable roof shows some shop items from a Mantic terrain crate . The other bits are also from the Terrain Crates except the swarms of rats which are from the Whizz Kids D&D range .I need to dirty up the die casts I bought for this game to appear abandoned and I will buy a few more figures and possibly another shop from Patrick , but for now all finished , now onto the next project?

Zona Alfa project .another update

finished the final figures from Patrick Miniatures ,only got the shop to finish and some swarms of rats and a few scenic bits before my first game on Sunday. The items below are more military scavenger types with a variety of weapons .The toxic pools and other bits are mainly from Mantic ,the anomolies are scratched built by myself

Zona Alfa -Project Update

Finished some more bits , some ruins from mantic and a few bits of scatter terrain again some mantic and the other bits are from TT combat .Patrick Miniatures supplied the scientists in Hazmat suits and the 2 mutants .

Zona Alfa project

Set myself a task of finishing evry thing I have for one game without doing my usual mix and match and never finishing anything completely ,so i chose Zona Alfa from osprey ,aall these first batch are from Patrick miniatures from Germany , couple of Military types and five zombie soldiers plus the Pripyat Monument

Russian Legends

Bought 3 of the De agostini Russian Legends die cast vehicles to use at scatter terrain in my zone Alpha games ,Gaz69 fire tender ,Moskvitch 410 and a YA3 ambulance .All nice models just need to dirty them up to look like they have been abandoned for a few years .

Zona Alpha -salvage and survival in the exclusion zone

I recenlty bought the osprey rule set ZONA ALPHA which is set in an post apocalyptic eastern europe ,where small groups hunt for items to salavge whilst facing each other, bandits ,zombies and mutants as well as radiation and other man made hazards .I purchased the add on KONTRABAND which adds a few more hazards ad scenarios as well as taking the game into acooperative or solo campaign game . The isnt a dedicated figure range to the rules ,justbuse what you have but I found afew printed ranges on the internet and ordered a few items from aGerman company called Patrick miniatures ,they make really nice stuiff and the service is excellent . Below are photos of figures covering all the main groups in the rules plus bits of scenery ,the Pripyat ghost town monument ,Pripyat was the town ,the 9th atomgrad built in 1970 to serve the Chernobyl reactor and was evacuated after the Chernobyl disaster and remains abandoned ,I also bought a soviet store ,a lovely piece that comes with a removable roof and 4 different shop signs to choose from ,really nice figures with amazing detail .
