(I like the idea of both, actually. Covering fire to only shoot once, and overwatch to shoot as often as possible/needed, but still have the 'is it dead?' mechanic)

"KILL IT NOW!" the kid screamed as he jammed a new clip in the gun, bracing it his shoulder as the Charger barreled towards him. Once it was close, he unleashed a spray of bullets into it's head.

Reload
Move to AA17
Fire at Charger three times on full auto(six shots)

[scapheap]

"Jim, with me."

Reload
move to U19
Overwatch

[GiglameshDespair]

((sounds good on both fronts, though i'll probably say overwatch when i mean covering fire quite often. Too much XCom.
I actually assumed you'd treat commons as a single 'entity' in the first place rather than a load of individuals - i thought you were doing so. It should be a lot quicker, and too much dice-rolling and time taken can really sap the fun out of a game like this. We don't want it to seem like a chore for you, because I'm quite enjoying it so far.))

"I hear you, watch the acid!"

Climb onto desk Y17
Reload
shoot at the charger

[Maxinum McDreich]

''S-so, shoot the big ones, right?'' Ali asked, nervously.

Reload and then Overwatch with emphasis on the bigger things.

Update

- Added Overwatch. A variant of Covering Fire that fires at all valid targets instead of just one.
- Added the Hulk ability to the Tank. If the Tank moves into certain terrain obstacles he will knock it 4 squares in a random direction. Survivors hit by this are treated as if hit by a Rock throw.

-Changed Covering Fire. Now only shoots once at a single valid target.
-Changed Covering Fire. Now has a chance to not fire at a enemy who is killed by someone else's bullet.

Well they moved and attacked as one unit but I had them each individually tagged as "Infected 1" "Infected 2" and so on. Early on it wasn't so bad as the highest number was under 6 but... Well now with around 11+ commons plus Uncommons and specials and all of you... Well I just changed how I tagged them. No more "Infected 1" now it's just "Group of 3 at AA12" which is easier for me to go around with.

Actions:
Reload
OverwatchX4 (Dual Pistols double shot)

[Nerjin]

Well I'm actually super excited to progress this game so you'll get an update tonight.

Also: You don't have to type Overwatchx4. It automatically ends your turn and just... does it's thing...

FURTHERMORE: I'm thinking of changing the "Chapter Select" screen from having each turn [supposedly] and will instead of a synopsis of events with interesting turns linked. Anyway... ONTO THE TURN!

Fun Bonus Fact: Infected spawn at the start of the Survivors turn.

”S-so shoot the big one?” Ali asked calming as the alarm tapered off to nothingness. Her momentary anger forgotten it was replaced by fear of the hulking brute coming for her.

“Do you want me to aim the gun for you princess!?” Damon shouted as he unloaded bullet after bullet into the hulking beast who barely seemed to register the shots.

“D-damn!” Ali shouted as she fired her small gun into the beast who now towered over her until a shotgun blast caught its attention.

“I ain’t losing anyone else today!” Ugly Jim shouted as he racked another round into the chamber.

A loud BANG was heard. Solitary as the Charger fell over. It’s face pierced by a single small caliber round.

“That my friend… is how you handle a zombie.” Mark said with a twinkle in his eye “You just gotta charge in head on.”

“Jim?” Clair’s voice came from the hallway causing the assembled survivors to momentarily ignore the horde charging them to look for Clair. “Are you still back there?” The question was followed by three loud bangs and then the unmistakable sound of a Hunter pouncing “Oh yeah? Come at me you pancy ass coward!” The loud sound of flesh being torn and bludgeoned from multiple sources rang out “Ha! I’ve had worse cuts from a- OH SHIT! I’m bleeding! GUYS!? HELP!”

Spoiler: Clair Greenwoods/Scapheap (click to show/hide)

Name: Clair Greenwoods

Physical Appearance: A red haired woman with blue eyes and a slender build. She wears a straight jacket(sleeves are ripped to a more manageable length) and jeans made for a lot of wear.

Personality: Depends. You got Clair, the normal, shy one. She has a defeatist outlook. You got Amy, a blood knight who seek out fights and taunts everyone, even her allies. You got Sue, the cloud cuckoo. And finally Uriel, who believe herself above everyone else.

Backround: She been in an asylum for the last 15 years(is now 26) and she think that she got the keys out of the place from a now rekilled zombie, but it was Amy in charge at the time so who knows.

Name: Marks

Physical Appearance: 18 Year old freshman. Has curly brown hair, a skinny build, and an average face. Hes wearing track pants, a white T-shirt, and green running shoes.

Personality: They try to keep morale up without going on with elaborate jokes. They are rather easy going until someone gets downed, then he’s stone colded berserker.

Backround: Marks was just getting settled into his apartment near his college when the outbreak hit. He grabbed a pistol and a few mags off of a dead cop. He ran into the other survivors along the way and is helping them get out of the infected areas best he can.

Preferred Difficulty: Normal or Advanced, if its the deciding vote, normal.

Spoiler: Ugly Jim/GiglameshDespair (click to show/hide)

Name: Ugly Jim

Physical Appearance: A huge, muscle-bound brute, Jim has a face not even a mother could love. Tiny, bloodshot eyes glare out from a lumpy, scarred face. The huge, mishapen nose was clearly broken multiple times and set badly. His hair is brown and shaved short. Jim wears a cheap suit that hangs on his huge frame, looking ridiculous.

Personality: Jim is a really, really nice guy. He worked hard and earnestly in an office, when he slowly earned their respect and like. He spent his spare time working in a charity shop and a soup kitchen, helping the less fortunate get back on their feet. Shy and self-concious, he thinks everyone should be nicer to each other.

Backround: When the infection hit his city proper, he was taking a long walk, upset at horrible comments from a group of teenagers. While he was walking, he walked in the outbreak without realizing. Through sheer chance, he walked through without notice, until he found a discarded pistol. Planning to get rid of the thing (it would be dangerous to leave lying about), he looked around properly, and saw what was going on around him. Frightened, he ran through the city streets, until he ran into the other survivors.

Preferred Difficulty: Advanced.

Spoiler: Ali/Maxinum McDreich (click to show/hide)

Name: Ali

Physical Appearance: A slim and attractive 21 year old female. Her chestnut brown hair would reach her shoulders if it wasn't in a ponytail.
She wears jeans and a white T-shirt. Black Trainers.

Personality: Ali is scared. Terrified. This was not what she expected to happen. She looks out for her friends, and is authorative when NOT in combat. Once the fighting starts, she tends to panic a little and misses the bigger picture to lead.

Backround: Ali grew up wanting to travel. She worked hard in school for her grades, and then learned languages in university to travel as an interpreter and a side teacher. She enjoyed her life, always smiling and enjoying the sunny places. When the infection hit, she was devastated, seeing her students turn, her friends lose contact with her and everything that made her smile is gone.

Preferred Difficulty: Normal. Can always amp it up if it gets too easy...

Color and Symbol: A purple rose.

Spoiler: Damon/Rolepgeek (click to show/hide)

Name: Damon Berkins

Physical Appearance: Tall and slim, with a tan on his face and arms, and very pale everywhere else. Wears glasses, a sweatshirt, and jeans, with running shoes.

Personality: Gets hungry a lot, somewhat of a devil's advocate, very smart, overanalyzes, poor social skills, good planning and organizing skills, still a teenager(17).

Backround: Damon was going to a convention when the outbreak hit. After an initial bewilderment and frustration at humanity for being stupid enough to let this happen, and the fact that it did happen despite being incredibly unrealistic, he got over it when his parent's friends were bitten. Being from a geek family, they took no chances, and the military friend, Robert, took headshots at the infected but not-dead. They survived for a while until Damon was the only one left, many of his emotions deadened by the trauma.

Well on the bright side the horde is tapering off. On the down side Clair could very likely die and the way is barred by acid. SOOOOO…. Have fun with that.

I hope you all have learned your lesson today.

[RangerCado]

Actions:
Open fire on the hunter until dead.
Open fire on the Riot till dead.
Covering Fire.
((All with double shots from dual pistols))

((Reasons for not shooting the spitter: So Clair can get past her and then shoot it herself, allowing her a little room to get away from the acid.))

[Nerjin]

Mind if I ask why the single shots?

[RangerCado]

((Its more accurate right? I don't want to hit Clair... unless we're using the Left for Dead rule that people trapped by hunters can't get hit by bullets, then i'll go with double shots. Same if the accuracy is the same.))

[Nerjin]

It is not more accurate. You CAN hit Clair but that's only if you miss the Hunter. So go ahead and edit that turn if you want.

[RangerCado]

edited.

[Nerjin]

I think I'm going to edit something in the maps from now on. As you may have noticed the "Spray Painted" Fog of War sorta... has some issues with going all the fuck over the place. Furthermore it's hard to get it to be properly spray...-ey? Anyway the dispersal takes time to do so I think I'm just going to put some sort of "Red Square of No Seeing" in the squares you can't see perfectly but are aware of their existence.
