I enjoyed coming across the downed plane when on a cross country jaunt.

Ah, I thought I'd spotted that in the (relative) distance, but didn't go for a closer look.

I'm loving the cars - the lime green 'classic coupe' thing is really fast, and when I'm in the yellow-and-black Mustang jobby, I always try and avoid damaging the paintwork as they're so lovely and shiny. I've got a much more ambivalent view to using classic and modern pickups, station wagons and saloons as battering rams for Hordes, though.

Is it right that if you don't manage the wandering hordes by culling them, that this leads to the base-assault hordes, or are those just random events? Not spent enough time monitoring it, but I have seen the Hordes before they've formed, as zeds mull around in the street gradually building up to Horde strength.

I've lost three recruits to general gameplay now - I'm trying to train them up, but as soon as things go wrong and I get a special, or overrun by zombies unexpectedly, I burn through the couple of painkillers and the stamina-jobby, and if I can't fashion an escape the fact they have no skills or abilities kind of, erm, gets them murdered. I just need to be more cautious with the newbies.
