So over the past several months I've been reading up on various zombie tactics and have begun work on what I hope may become a comprehensive guide to forming, running, and operating in a horde.

While I already have almost 25 pages of material ranging from tactics to strategy to leadership advice to ranks and commands. I doubt I have hit every good idea.

As such I would like any and all constructive input that you feel may help with this.

If you would like to contact me in private my e-mail is a-mcgregor.1@onu.edu

Check out the zombie tactics thread that already exists.  That's where all zombie knowledge is collected.  Otherwise, we're not going to be able to tell you what you missed unless we have an idea of what you hit.

I can't wait to read the completed version of this guide.  Hopefully our zombies decide to actually read it and use it wisely  Grin.

I've been through both of those threads and taken a lot of that advice.

Appearently my parents Mac can't open .docx files so I won't be able to post the full guide for at least a few days however the subjects I've covered thus far include.

Single/Alpha tactics
Paired Zombie Tactics
10 zombies units
Rings
Lines
Support
Command and Unit structure
Leadership qualities
Advanced tactics (tricks and maneuvers)
How to deal with human tactics and elite squads
Commands and signals
Psychological warfare

If there are any other topics you feel should be covered or have advice for any of the above topics that isn't in the treads listed above, that would be what I am looking for. I should be able to post what I have so far by mid next week. I posted the full guide to the wiki. Its big wall of text ugly but if you copy paste it to word it should be better. http://wiki.humansvszombies.org/index.php?title=Prez%27s_Art_of_Zombie_Warfare

Nice work.

Now of course, we have to write a human one...

AAH! A brick of plain text! It assaults the eyes! But the information within warms the undead soul so much...

I get that it's a game based around Nerf guns but running around covered in more duct tape and cardboard than your average LARPer seems utterly ridiculous to me.

That is indeed a ton of text, though the bit I looked through looked quite good. If you were able to format that a bit (or even allow someone else to format it for you?), then I could see that easily becoming the definitive zombie guide. As of right now, though, it's just somewhat daunting.

It is a wiki so you can easily help edit *cough* vandalize *cough* it.

Finally have a "finished" version added some mission tactics. Now I just need a distribution system. Any ideas?

Cant you post it in the wiki formatted?  You could post it in a thread, but I don't know the rules here on long posts (I have seen a few so would assume it would be ok.)  It would be helpful to have in a forum post so people could discuss it better with quoting and all that.

I'm afraid that I neither know nor any longer have the time to learn wiki formatting. (my school's game starts tonight.)
However if any of you know how to use mysterious gypsy magic to fix the Big Ugly Wall of Text i dumped on there I might just send you a cookie.

If the mod's are ok with me dumping into a post I'd gladly do that as well.
