No, really I'm terrible at the game. To the point I want to quit, though I love the concept. I can't get past my first breach or so (which I'm undertaking on my first or second "turn" / hour - is that the problem?). Can anyone help me out, as I want to love the game but at this point it just seems stupid as I'm getting nowhere, very early. I've read the book, maybe I'm missing something or attempting too much early on. Any pointers would be great!
I would like to help you, but the zombies kick my ass too. I always try to be silent as long as possible, until I find some decent weapons, but they always find me and eat my brain :(
I did a little bit better today, still surviving but morale is going down quickly (I've been neglecting relationships). We'll see how long I last!
Well... I finally managed to end up with a cohesive and capable group, well equipped and everything. It seemed I just might get to the point where survival could become a peace of cake. All I needed was one last successful breach for the greenhouse to get my own farm going and then along comes Piper. Damn, damn and triple damn...

Still love it though...
Guys you gotta use the mechanics.

1) Send people with the right tools to SCOUT the place first, so you know how many doors and windows and zombies are there, you don't need to send weapons just binoculars and flashlights.

2) BEFORE even dreaming into breaching inside a place you gotta first ASSAULT IT, if you have crossbows or silenced weapons you can shoot the zombies INSIDE the building which means thinning them down

3) Then you breach, you breach when you have assaulted the place at least 3 to 4 times, use weapons with ASSAULT stats for ASSAULTS but for BREACHS go for a combo of MELEE and SILENCED RANGED

4) It takes times with the worst survivors, if you got 3 you put ALL of them outside (once the breach hsa been succesful and if you don't need to retreat) you put them all outside smashing zombies, when the diary reports that you've been smashing fewer and fewer you can trust your best guard to do it and send the others to BARRICADE or BUILD TRAPS (that's your strategy) or of course... SEARCH/LOOT and leave.

The game becomes easier once you understand you gotta take things step by step instead of going full retard.
