Scott and Scott played our first 1500pt game of DZC. We played on an urban board, and the mission was Recon. In this Mission, each building has a piece of "intel", which can only be claimed by troops. Once troops discover the intel, you roll a D6 to see if it becomes an objective, a victory point, or a trap!

We ended up calling the game at the end of turn 4 as PHR had no more troops left alive to discover objectives. This being our first game where we really brought out the heavy guns, we were suprised to see how easy it was to level buildings with troops inside them. I guess when you're in a city surrounded by demolishers, a building really isn't the safest place to hide!
