GURPS Zombies Questions
I'm still in the process of fully digesting the awesomeness that is GURPS Zombies, and my mind is flooded with campaign / adventure / encounter ideas. That being said, some of the ideas that popped up came with situations I'm not quite certain how to game out:
1. Imagine an enormous horde of zombies coming down a city street (high buildings on each side - the zombies fill it wall to wall). Now imagine a character opens up with a very high rate of fire weapon (minigun or something like that). I understand I can just add some bonuses to the character since (while the zombies are far away) he's not in any real danger and he can AoA. I can also add the SM of the horde, but it still seems like it'll result in a very low number of hits. How do you figure out how many zombies are hit? 2. Same situation as above, but replace the weapon with a flamethrower. What's the result? 3. Very different one here. How could one model building a barricade as something that could be done in combat (i.e. very fast). I considered having some sort of skill roll (maybe carpentry or Barricade!) to build a barricade equal to MoSx3 with a DR based on the type of material at hand. Maybe a given area could only be Barricaded a certain number of (cumulative) times before it just needs to be tore down and rebuilt. |

For the flamethrower, it would be all of the front rank plus 1/3 of second (just kind of using the table on 113 guessing that some fire would leak through to each hex in the second rank)? |

Anyone with thoughts on combat-speed barricading/fortifying? Are there any rules in place anywhere? How else could we game through the zombie mode of [Computer Game]? |

Re: GURPS Zombies Questions
Didn't Horror have some expansion of the Swarm rules that would be useful for this? If so, could treat the zombie horde as a multi-hex swarm...
