No, actually they don't.<br />
I just wanted to show off how I made <a href="http://www.paintstickwars.blogspot.be/2013/04/world-war-i-trench-warfare.html" target="_blank">Trench warfare</a> in this short animated gif.<br />

Remember the <a href="http://paintstickwars.blogspot.be/2013/03/zombie-apocalypse-aftermath-ii.html" target="_blank">large zombie drawing</a> I made a while ago?<br />
<br />
It appears I inspired redditor Rackapulsare's son (10 years old) to make his own interpretation!<br />
He clearly put a lot of effort into it!<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">The enemy is dug in pretty good and we’re getting
slaughtered out there. Running out of the trenches is suicide. If the mortars
don’t get you, the machine guns or the snipers will. It’s hell, but we have no
choice. I’m one of the lucky few who made it back to camp after being shot in
the shoulder. Don’t worry though, It’s not that bad with the morphine.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><s>Ah sweet, sweet morphine</s><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>I don’t know if they plan to send me

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Some time ago we found some caves below our camp which
seem to run all the way under the enemy’s camp. It could mean a lucky break for
us. A few days ago, we sent some guys to scout the caves, but they never
returned. I did hear some screams echo at night. I don’t know if it was the
fever from being shot or the morphine, but the screams sounded like pure
terror. Almost inhuman even. I don’t know, we’re under a lot of stress here.
One of the guys has even gone missing inside the camp. I’m sure he’s just
hiding, but no one can seem find him.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Today something weird happened. Some new guys showed
up. Not the average boys they normally send up, but real tough guys. Different
gear and all. Their commanding officer (a real hard ass) is talking to ours as
I write this letter, and it doesn’t sound like your everyday friendly
conversation! They seem very interested in the caves and don’t really help out
in the trenches. They’ve been hauling heavy equipment down there all day. I
don’t really care, as long as they find our boys down there. Nobody deserves to
be left behind in some dark cave a thousand miles from home.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">

surprise by attacking from behind their lines! Who knows, in a few days we may
be able to take the town!</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">BAM! More mutant zombie related awesomeness!<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">This sequel to “<a href="http://paintstickwars.blogspot.be/2012/08/zombie-apocalypse-aftermath.html" target="_blank">Zombie apocalypse: The aftermath</a>” depicts a hub site where resources are stored and redistributed. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Don’t worry, I’m not entirely sure either. For more on my Zombie apocalypse universe check here: <a href="http://paintstickwars.blogspot.com/2012/06/zombie-apocalypse.html" target="_blank">Zombie apocalypse!</a>, <a href="http://paintstickwars.blogspot.be/2012/08/zombie-apocalypse-aftermath.html" target="_blank">Zombie apocalypse: The aftermath</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Unlike a fortress, which is a temporary fortification to protect a mining interest, a hub is a permanent base with living quarters, a lab, a loading bay for dropships and a large storage facility below.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The hub has several defense layers. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The perimeter is defend by a canal (mutant zombies can’t swim very well), fire pits to roast the tenacious bastards, a wall (obligatory) and gun towers.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The base itself has some machine gun posts and grenade launchers as well.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">As this is a military base and completely devoid of female sticks (not being sexist, this is entirely coincidental), the male sticks are a bit frustrated and they need ways to blow of some steam. You’ll often find them smoking, drinking and playing games.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The base has some captured mutant zombies to experiment with, so the lab is used to the occasional outbreak. Unfortunately the loading bay is not. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">An infected dropship has made it in to the base somehow and the mutant zombies are wreaking havoc in the loading bay area, disabling defense systems with their acid spew and infecting stick soldiers and technicians. Once bitten and infected by a mutant zombie, the DNA is altered almost instantly.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Not much is known about the mutant disease at the moment. Mutant zombies are highly aggressive and agile when it comes to jumping and climbing but they can’t swim for shit. Recent research suggests they are linked through a hive mind or connected to a higher consciousness. This would explain why they sometimes choose to eat or turn their victims and why they attack in groups.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I’ve been hardly working on this new Paint Stick War over the past few weeks. So I think it’s safe to say it won’t be done until next year. Which isn’t <strong>that</strong> long, but I feel kinda bad because it’s been so long since I’ve posted something new. </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">For my fan(s) at computer store Van Roey Automation.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Chaos and anarchy rule the world. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Militarized gangs have organised throughout the land and are roaming from city to city in a looting rampage.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Looking for an easy tech score, the looters have turned their sights on a large computer store. Little did they know, the brave employers of this particular store were ready to defend their precious beacon of technology with their lives. Yes, with their lives!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The quick score, envisioned by the gang strategists, has turned in a veritable siege. Barricaded doors, gunfights, and vicious melee fights were certainly not part of their plan. But neither were a bunch of zombies crashing the party. No one knows what they’re doing there but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them before... <a href="http://paintstickwars.blogspot.be/2012/08/zombie-apocalypse-aftermath.html" target="_blank">here </a>or <a href="http://paintstickwars.blogspot.be/2012/06/zombie-apocalypse.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">(honestly, I just got tired of drawing normal sticks.)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Will these brave employers stand vast against this torrent of violence?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Will their supplies dwindle, forcing them to surrender in the agony of starvation?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Will they get bored and be all like “Fuck this shit, I’m going home! And I’m taking an Ipad!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

A comic made in MS Paint about ninja's 'n stuff. It's something a bit different than my usual Paint Stick Wars. Also, I'm hardly working on a new website, so it should be up in like 2 years.<br />
<br />
Check out <a href="http://imgur.com/D7ToZ" target="_blank"><strong>episode 1: "<span id="goog_715079007"></span>A deadly foe<span id="goog_715079008"></span>"</strong></a> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(Imgur link)</span><br />
<br />
Be on the lookout for <strong>episode 2: "Sworn revenge"</strong><br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Whenever I create a new character in a role playing game and I’m asked to “choose my race”, I always wonder what stats “real life races” would have if they were gamified (gamified?). So being my productive self, I created a generic character customisation screen and distributed points to several attributes often used in RPG games. I distributed the points as I believe races are often stereotypically depicted in (Western) media. So bear in mind that this is a gross overgeneralization of races and their strengths and weaknesses. </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I’m also planning on making the next steps of character creation for this fictional game: available classes, final stats (attack, defence, magic attack, ...), weapons, special traits, etc.</span></span></div>

After doing the <a href="http://www.paintstickwars.blogspot.be/2012/10/epic-wizard-duel.html" target="_blank">Epic wizard duel</a>, I started experimenting with these guys. <br />
I'm well aware of their alarming lack of "stickness", but trust me, it's allowed. <br />

This is a big project, so it'll take a while!<br />

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">As announced some <a href="http://www.paintstickwars.blogspot.be/2012/07/preview.html" target="_blank">10 000 years ago</a>, I bring you: Wild West Gold Rush!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">A while ago, I went to see Abraham Lincon: Vampire Hunter. When the movie had finished and after I was done throwing up and trying to get my money back, it hit me. A Paint Stick War set in the Wild West! Awesome! Something good came out of seeing that movie after all. (Good thing too, I was starting to run out of ideas.)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Easier said than done though. The look of an 1800s western town isn’t so straightforward as a modern day city so I had to do some research (like a pro). I did include some fantasy elements like the steam powered balloon and 1800s sniper rifles. Some might call it steampunk. I don’t.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Speaking of steam, there’s a steam locomotive in it! Together with the armored carriage, it took up about 1/3<sup>rd</sup> of the draw time! </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Also note the close range gun battle due to lack of accuracy and range of the weapons.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The scene, as always, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>is pretty self-explanatory. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The top hat guys have come back with loads of gold from the goldmine in the background. They want to finish up loading their train and get back to their <s>slaves</s> loving families. The other guys are basically after their gold and have taken control of the train station and half the town. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I’m rooting for the brown hat guys, the top hat guys remind me of that movie too much.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I’ll guide you through starting from the left. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">In case you haven’t noticed, the building on the far left is… a whorehouse! If you zoom in, you can see a guy climbing down the window to avoid paying the pretty redhead. She probably forgot her derringer at home.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The top hats are arriving in town with their armored gold filled carriage. To protect their newly acquired riches, they’ve outfitted their carriage with a freakin’ Gatling gun! Nothing says “stay away from my gold” like a Gatling gun! Look at it firing away! POP POP POP! Accuracy isn’t everything you know.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The sheriff of the town… is a drunk. He’s all like “What the hell’s going on in my town?”. BAM! Hole through the roof. As a pastime, he likes lying on his roof, staring at the stars (while drunk) and shooting birds (obviously not at night). In all the commotion, his prisoner is escaping with the help of his stick buddy. What a screwup that sherriff.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The top hats hare doing all they can to protect their precious cargo. Rifles firing away, pistols discharging everywhere. They’re even preparing to blow up the railway! Don’t know if that’s such a good idea though…</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The large building in the middle is the saloon. You can see two drunks brawling in front of it, as was the style at the time. The brown hats have infiltrated the saloon in order to gain more high ground.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Down on the battlefield, the brown hat sticks are fighting bravely, despite some being heavily wounded. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The station is in full control of the brown hat sticks. They’ve captured the engineer and are trying to load the gold on the train. Some snipers are taking aim on top of the station. You can see how they’ve assembled their rifle, using a special kit (with a little imagination). </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The steam powered balloon, which I admit is not a really well thought out idea with the weight and the coal and all, but fuck it, is dropping in more reinforcements and most likely has a shitload of dynamite on board! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Those top hat guys won’t know what hit them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><span style="font-size: large;">In a post apocalyptic world</span>, few humans remain. But those who do, have organized and adapted, and are building a glorious new human capital. This capital will strengthen what is left of civilization and gather all remaining knowledge and technology into one place, so that the zombies may finally be defeated.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Resources however, cannot be found in one place and must be extracted on site. These well defended sites known as “fortresses” are permanently manned by a small crew. Dropships regularly visit to resupply and transport the extracted resources to hubs, where they can be divided amongst the settlements or taken to the capital.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The fortresses have several means of defense. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The underground corridors have thick walls of reinforced concrete. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The perimeter of the fortress is protected by a heavy razor wire fence which is electrified. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">To prevent underground attacks, proximity mines are usually placed around the perimeter.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">As a last resort, the tower can flood the immediate area with an extremely corrosive acid which will disable the zombies and make them easier the shoot down.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">This scene depicts a water mining fortress which is being attacked by zombies. Unfortunately <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">someone</b> (I’m not naming any names) has placed a proximity mine too close to the living quarters. A string of explosions has effectively blown a corridor to the outside, and the zombies are flooding in, looking for fresh human blood (or brains or whatever… Maybe they are just looking for love?).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Above ground the crew is loading the dropship and doing the best they can to keep the zombies from coming too close. The fence is doing its job, but the zombies are still getting over, so the tower is hurling its acid all over the place! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">With the aid of the well armed dropship, this attack will do little damage. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Underground however, the situation is more dire…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The alarms are going off and everyone is in a state of shock, as no one expected an underground attack. Fortunately some coolheaded sticks are taking care of business. But the zombies are relentless and they will not wait for the sticks to reload…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The emergency protocol is in effect and the steel doors coming down to avoid further loss of the fortress. However, due to a major flaw in design the entire living quarters will be lost, as there are two ladders connecting the four levels. Architects these days, right?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Let’s just hope the dropship has enough room to extract everyone in time… if it doesn’t, it will be every man for himself! (I say every <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">man</b> because the remaining women are in the settlements breeding of course).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

several sections of the station are being attacked as a diversion, the loading

invading force seems to have intimate knowledge of the bay’s defense systems.
Using portable shield generators, have been able to quickly establish a
beachhead. While these shields do deflect normal energy weapons, they do not
offer protection from heavy energy blasts. To counter the mechanized defense
force of the station, the invaders have brought portable heavy energy weapons
and high energy EMP grenades, which are very effective.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The loading

high energy shield is the only thing able to deflect the boarding ship’s

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">When the
station was designed, it was generally assumed that the station’s defenses and
fighters would be enough to keep enemy ships from docking at the station. This
means the bay shield was never designed to deflect portable energy weapons,
rendering the bay vulnerable to infiltration.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">The intentions
of the aggressor are not entirely clear at this point. However, since the
station is vital for resource trade and a key strategic point in the sector, it
is assumed the station will be captured, rather than destroyed. Assumptions are
also being made as to the identity of the aggressor. The advanced technology
and coordinated attack suggest either Jupicore or MeteoCorp. is behind the
attack, rather than a politically motivated aggressor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Locked up
for decades and long forgotten, a super race of highly aggressive and dexterous
zombies has finally broken out of its prison. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">A cold war
army experiment gone wrong, the zombies, who were supposed to turn out like
super soldiers, were deemed far too dangerous and uncontrollable by command.
Having spent millions on the research project which would lead to these events,
command was reluctant to destroy the product of its endeavours. It was decided
the zombies were to be locked away so that future researchers could continue
the project.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The
precautions taken to prevent these creatures from ever emerging however, were
thought of too fast and too poorly. The cover-up needed to be fast, cheap and
discrete.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">They were
wrong. Wrong to think a few rusty iron bars would hold these terrible
creatures.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The base
where the project had been buried did have a contingency plan. In case of a
breakout, the zombies would have to be held back long enough to place and
activate explosive devices which would eradicate the creatures permanently. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .05pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">This contingency plan, however elegant in its simplicity, turned out to
be not so simple in execution.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .05pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">To create a vertical barrier, several plateaus were constructed between
the holding cell and the exit. This way, the zombies would have to jump from
one plateau to another. The zombies, however turned out to be far more
dexterous and powerful than the researches could have imagined. The base guards
soon found themselves overrun...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">It took a
while, but I’m back with another masterpiece! (I got a bit distracted with work
lately.) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The scene,
which is a base assault, is loosely inspired on James Bond style end scenes.
(Also: <a href="http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Hank_Scorpio" target="_blank">Hank Scorpio</a>.) To qualify for this particular category, a scene should incorporate
several essential aspects.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Here’s a
small list:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Superweapon: check!</li>
<li>Super villain, protected by super bodyguard:
check!</li>
<li>Escape routes: check!</li>
<li>Captured spy: check!</li>
<li>Guys with orange helmets prepared to
self-sacrifice for the cause: check!</li>
<li>Loads of fancy computers: check!</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">After my
last Paint Stick War: <a href="http://www.paintstickwars.blogspot.be/2012/06/alien-invasion.html" target="_blank">Alien Invasion</a>, I decided to switch back to the isometric
perspective. It’s just a lot easier than the one point perspective and is much
better suited for these kinds of scenes. It has one downside though: you can’t
draw ceilings. It’s a shame, because I really wanted to show where the missile
would go and how the army would enter the facility through the roof.
Nevertheless I really like the result. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Hmm...
where to start? We’ll start where the ‘good’ army started: the loading docks.
The army has blasted their way into the facility as you can see. The clock says
T-59, so the army should be in time to disarm the nuke, provided they win this
battle!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">While the
bad guys may have more advanced weaponry, the army has the edge when it
comes to versatility. You can see one stick actually using his mounted grenade
launcher! (Check the explosion!) Now you may be thinking: “Why don’t they all
use their grenades and end this thing?”. Well, unlike you, these sticks have
had years of training in raiding superweapon facilities and have received
specific orders not to damage the computers. (There, satisfied?) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">As I said
before, the bad guys have some sate of the art weaponry: the iconic red laser
rifle. (To be revealed in the near future, I’m sure.) However, what really
makes them dangerous is their zealous devotion to the cause and willingness to
fight to the end!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The ground
team has spread out, looking for alternative routes to the main control panel.
Some sticks are climbing some boxes to get a better view of the facilit-...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The better
option seems to be entering the labs through the newly blasted hole in the
wall, or scaling the labs with a grappling hook!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">As with all
properly prepared raids, the army has chosen a multiple point of entry
approach. Dropping in from the rooftop, a small team aims to rapidly control
the high ground and end this thing quickly. Sadly, one stick won’t live to
regret the fact that he skipped the abseiling course... <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Being a
proper rooftop raid team, they also have a sniper. Can you guess where he’s aiming
at? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The rest of
the team is making good progress on the high ground. They can even afford to
engage in hand-to-hand combat, just for fun!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Down on the
ground, the situation looks less fun. Reinforcements are pouring in (Look at the
IT-guy turned soldier, he should have spent more time on the treadmill!) and
the good guys are being blasted with lasers. And if that’s not enough, there’s a
fully armoured laser sniping, flame throwing guard protecting the super villain,
the captured spy being shot at and the clock ticking down! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">These guys
seem to have underestimated the super villain, outmanned and outgunned... “Damn
it, they gave us bad intel! It’s (insert crappy country) all over again!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">However, there
might be some hope left. One of the villain’s escape routes has been
compromised and infiltrated by some super ninja spies! Using the chaos, they silently
kill off the bad guys and may just reach the control panel in time!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Well that’s
about it. This one is hard to call... <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">If the good
guys have a decent machine gunner (which is likely) they may gain enough
ground. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">If their
sniper is any good, he may take out the super villain in an anti-climactic way.

super ninja spies remain unseen, they may reach the control panel. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Constantly
pushing the limits of the concept “Paint Stick Wars”, I decided to up the
realism this time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Perhaps a bit too much, but that’s for you to decide. The
one point perspective came out really nice, but it sure was a lot of work! So
much so, that I decided to never ever do it again! So bask in its gloryness
while you can, because this is a onetime deal. I would have liked to have added
more detail to this scene, but frankly, I just got tired of it. (This is a
reoccurring problem.) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">In an
attempt to make the scene more ominous and apocalyptic, I made the sky orange... then after throwing up three times, I quickly changed it back to blue. The
rundown buildings, crack in the street and nature reclaiming the cityscape
should give you a clue as to the state of the world in this scene. Also the “War
of the worlds”-style robot (which honestly looks like a weird water tower) and smaller
robots firing lasers might tip you off. The robots are spherical for several
reasons: It’s a universally perfect form, projectiles tend to ricochet off and
it’s easy to draw in 3D.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I also
added more dead bodies this time, which has been a point of critique and
rightly so.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Enjoy the
3D-ness!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">This scene
is a left vs. right kind of thing. It doesn’t need much explaining I think. The
left side is obviously human controlled. I made sure to mix up the races,
because in my paranoid mind, I was beginning to feel like a closet racist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">In the
lower left corner, taking cover behind a car wreck are some sticks fighting for
their lives. One guy is down, but he’s not quite dead yet. He’s all like “Tell
my boy… *cough* daddy won’t be home… for his birthday… *groan* and that he’s
sorry… *cough*”. Unfortunately, his buddies can’t hear his dying words, because
they are too busy getting hit and firing at invading alien robots.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Notice the
9mm rounds are not really getting through the robot’s armor. You need AK shells
for that shit!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">A little
further back some sticks are installing a belt fed grenade launcher. This thing
could be a game changer, if they get it firing in time! (The stick behind the
launcher is getting a bit impatient!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">In the
middle there’s a soldier in a downright bad situation. He’s down on the ground
(probably in shock, unable to move) while a massive laser beam is
disintegrating the street right between his legs! Imagine the heat coming of
that thing! Poor guy’s nuts are probably fried already! His buddy is trying to
save him, but I don’t think they’ll make it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Behind them
there’s a more successful duo. Having taken out one invader already, they are
reloading the AT-weapon for another go. Look at that: ebony and ivory working
together to save the world…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Taking
cover behind some debris, a stick is radioing for much needed backup. To be
honest, these guys really need it, they’re heavily outgunned!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Some of the
sticks have taken cover in the buildings. You can see the sniper sure is taking
his sweet time… (he’s not getting lasered upon!). In the same building, an
AT-guy just fired his weapon at the big robot. It looks like it’s going to be a
direct hit, but I’ve got a feeling the main attack weapon of an invading alien
army is able to withstand an RPG. So he’s basically setting himself up for
being massively retaliated upon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Some sticks
are stuck behind enemy lines… The robots advanced so fast, they didn’t get a
chance to retreat. They’re basically fucked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">But wait, what’s
that? Over on the horizon… The cavalry! And not a moment too soon. Hopefully
they’ll be in time to save some sticks!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I’ll give
this battle to the humans, but the war I’ll give to the aliens. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

we’re invaded, we’re screwed.</span></div>

Next to "all of the above", most people who voted chose the "urban setting" in which they preferred sticks to <strike>die</strike> wage war. Understandably so, because <a href="http://paintstickwars.blogspot.be/2012/05/gang-vs-cops.html" target="_blank">Gang vs. cops</a> was this month's most viewed paint stick war!<br />
To be honest, the other settings haven't had a fair chance yet, so I'll throw in a few oddballs in the future.<br />
However, I will respect the wishes of the public, and focus my main efforts on urban settings!<br />
<br />
<u>Results:</u><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>All of the above</li>
<li>Urban</li>
<li>Jungle, Space, Future, Medieval</li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
Next paint stick war is urban by the way ;-)<br />
