They attacked military stragglers, robbed refugees at gunpoint, and ambushed law enforcement, all the while avoiding zombies.So, they come to a fortified position. A public library. They use binoculars and Spot checks to suss out the defenses, and I tell them:The windows are all sandbagged, you can see thick barrels pointing out. (WHen someone asked, I told him that it did look like .50 cal machineguns and M-249 light machineguns) There was razor wire around the front, and across the boarded up windows. I told them that there were four burnt out vehicles in front of the building, as well as at least 100 dead or crippled Risen, not to mention Risen stuck in the pungi-pits, spiked trenches, and hung up in the razor wire.Guess what they did.You got it. Frontal assault. They charged, firing at the firing slits, running past painted lines around the building (They looked like shots from a paintball gun, different colors for each "ring" of splotches) and yelling.And were chopped into hamburger. Even after half the party was dead, and they were getting boiling water poured on them through sluices stuck out the third story window, they still kept trying to knock in the door. Even when one PC was electrocuted for 8d6 points of damage when he tried to pry open the front door. They still kept trying to assault the place.They didn't have to assault the library. They did, even AFTER I warned them with corpses, bullet impact marks, burnt out vehicles, the whole nine yards.Some players refuse to believe that the GM will kill them, and because of this, they won't retreat. Or worse yet, think it's a player VS GM thing, and that they have to win to show the GM that he can't make anything they can't beat.Of course, some players are just blasted idiots.</blockquote>
