Operation Last Train Home Zombie WW2. Drop One

Been meaning to play this game for a long time! Finally got sometime so I set up the first scenario The Farmhouse
I have taken a ww2 zombie apocalypse take on the game as I have plenty of bolt action and zombie models so here we go!

"Sir overflights report what appears to be rags waving from a Farm house. Here" the attendant pointed a location on the map, Capt Daniels scratched his chin,
"Rags waving? Could be anything"
"Yes sir but on another flypast people were spotted. That was 3 days ago."
Captain Daniels lent back in his chair,
"Let's hope they are still alive. We have to commit at some point let's do it. Send the go order to the volunteers". The attendant hurried out map in hand.

Captain Daniels stood and watched the half track unload the survivors. Tired, shell shocked and looking thoroughly exhausted they still clung to the 6 men who had rescued them.
Captain Daniels shuddered thinking what they had seen and gone through. His eyes moved to stretcher bearers taking a soldier from the half track and whisking him away.
His adjutant walks over,
"9 survivors Sir. A tremendous success." Daniels nodded,
"Casualties?" he replied,
"just the one Private Hughes but he should be OK in 2 or 3 days. Pvt Sharp dragged him all the way back to the half track. Extraordinary effort."
"Impressive, see he gets a few extra tots of rum. I'll try for a medal but with how things are going we have bigger things to deal with.  Let's see who else we can help".

Really enjoyed that game have to say. Pvt Hughes rolled a medical evac so I decided Pvt Sharp would have dragged him all the way back (that would explain his terrible shooting).

Hope you enjoyed it to!

Operation Last Train WW2

Someone in The Operation Last Train Facebook group mentioned doing a WW2 version. I liked this idea mainly as I have plenty of WW2 British soldiers and some 28mm zombies. So I wrote some basic fluff to flesh out a story. Essentially the Allies reached the German borders only to be assaulted by hordes of zombies. No one knows where they came from but even thye Wehrmacht are fighting alongside the Allies in a retreat mack to the coast.


"I need more ships. There are thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands here and more at the Calais...... OK..... Just get them" Admiral Walker put the phone down.
"Jenkins!  Get me the latest updates please"
A brown haired sailor stepped into the room,
"Yes sir. Oh sir a Captain Daniels is here to see you. He says its urgent and no I don't know how he got past the guards and other officers" Jenkins quickly stepped out, a short stocky Para Troop officer stepped in and saluted.
"What do you want Captain? We are a bit busy if you hadn't noticed. I've already done Dunkirk once and now we are doing it a-bloody-gain! Except now we are trying to get everyone out and away from those spawns of hell. We are abandoning mainland Europe son. Its lost to those creatures what in the world could you want from me right now? " Admiral Walker rubbed his forehead, when was the last time he slept. A long time ago it felt,
"Sir, we've been fighting the zombies all the way back from the German borders. I've abandoned to many towns with people still there." Captain Daniels said,
"I understand that son but we cannot save everyone. The Allies... hell we even have the Wehrmacht fighting with us! We are all heading back to the coast and we are trying to get as many people  out as possible. I cannot make sure every village or farm is empty before we move back, that's how we lost Bradley and Patton."
" I know sir I wouldn't ask for the whole army to stop but what about one unit in fast vehicles or a C-47 if there is somewhere to land. Locating anyone still alive and bringing them out. Those people still living must be in a nightmare. The least we can do is give them hope sir? " Captain Daniels replied,
The Admiral lent back in his chair and looked in deep thought. He seemed to snap out of it and lent forward.
“What makes you think there are still people out there? The enemy does not tend to leave living creatures."
Captain Daniels stepped forward slightly and spoke,
" Sir humans always find a way to survive, we have done since the dawn of time. They could be holed up in basements or there could be cut off units left behind. We should give them a chance"
The Admiral scratched his chin,
"I can't order soldiers back out there. They will have to be volunteers  including the vehicle crews. If a crew volunteers there vehicle is yours and if you find a C-47 crew crazy enough I'll get you a plane. 100 men no more you hear.  I don't know how much longer we will be here probably a month maybe 2. That's all you get. As soon as we leave these shores the air forces are going to fire bomb everything. Go on you are going to be busy son"


For most of the games I will use a Halftrack instead of a dropship.  Just gotta make a roster up for this game now!
