Kryptonite to my 52-soldier Expedition miniMOD:
(Highest difficulty/ironman)
Our weapons: spiked SMGs, grenades and crates of violence.
versus
Three Singer Zombies, Chryssalids and many simple zombies turning into Chryssalids..
During the campaign many brave and cowardly souls were lost from the original 52. What remained: I thought, arming a 27-member, able-bodied mixed mob of peasants & Hands with SMGs, grenades and crates of violence will be enough to put down those boring 3 or 4 zombies that usually came against us ** before **.. at near game begin. I was expecting a boring, short battle. I thought it usual to see a maximum of 5 enemies or so... and then this:
Squad-wipe.. multiple times over: badly thrown crates of violence and grenades decimating my gals, gals going berserk and killing their teammates carrying lots of live-explosives.. those exploding in one place, desintegrating half a dozen nearby teammates. Then came the super-infectious zombies...
Because I put so many soldiers on the battlefield the zombies loved this situation! They salivated at seeing so many warm, living bodies and just walked over to us and scratched my gals killing them and created more zombies! This was a total catastrophe.
Soon it was a full-blown zombie invasion! I brought their army to them!
Not to mention Chryssalids could only be killed, when:
1. their zombie bodies are killed,
2. so they transform into themselves
3. then they must be put down by grenades - because SMG bullets just bounced off their chitin armor.
4. when they are finally put down down and "Zzz"-sleeping
5. then they must be killed with a grenade.
But the zombies just were making more and more of themselves from my peasants... So I loaded back earlier saves dozens of times, just to see, if they are beatable.
The smoke was so thick everywhere that enemies couldn't be seen from a safe distance at all! The zombies must have been grinning and were happily sneaking around in the thick smoke and biting my soldiers to death so easily. This was a very depressing battle, a fatal response to my mob-tactics and my the last insane survivor was frequently panicking, until she was torn apart by a zombie coming from behind!
