Since when did the Second World war last until 1980?

Era

There is absolutely no way that 1980, even 1960, was in the era of the Second World War. I'd call them Early Modern.

There should be a 5th option -- 1950-1980: Cold War Era

EDIT: That way, we could have jets and stuff, but no stealth things.

Well it's 10 en favor for MT, 3 for WWI and 4 for WWII. I don't mean to be an asshole, but it won't make that much of a difference this late en the poll. :-(

WW2 era is too wide for my liking... Should be 1930-1950, with a "cold war era" spanning 1960-1990 (When both US and Ruskies has nukes pointed @ each other), after that would be current gen stuff...

IMHO, if you need stuff more modern than an 'Enfield', M1928 Thompson, M1918 BAR (or CSRG Chauchat), a bayonet, and a Mk VII tank, you're doin it wrong. Espcially if you get pwned by the zombies in spite of it...

This may explain why casaulties early in a zombie-invasion are so high (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjIZ4hoelz4), while I pwn because "I'm dual-wielding my SMGs"... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzwjHjO7tV4)

the beauty of a a zombie invasion is that everyone does it wrong. Hence why it is so epic, because of the FAIL involved

How many of your men did I kill with two soldiers equiped with a break-action combination-rifle/shotgun and a revolver in that botched raid again? (IIRC, it amounted to 2 APCs, 3 HMMWVs, ~16 people, and blowing up one of your own hospitals...*)

Compared against Greston's use of more contemporary equipment, and wounding one... Another fellow plastered C-4 onto a heli, I'm pretty sure the chopper pilots survived that...

*BTW, I'm bringing "Stratton" back from the grave again, have fun trying to figure out how I'll manage that...

now that RP was a while ago, but didn't he get shot, napalmed, reanimated by that strange drug, then shot again in the head and his body incinerated?


hey I wonder if that drug be could be the cause of the outbreak...
