Eeh, let's not. I voiced my opinion before this started that a swift adjudication, enough to say she/they 'did the thing', was acceptable. We were overruled and now we have to roll through the predictable outcomes.

Alchemists used properly should have negated swathes of this.

They took no losses cause you all couldn't see anything to hit, and by the time you could you where in melee so your shooters were useless...
I glanced at what I assumed to be the original inspiration (I later found out it is just a modern take that details more rules): slow-moving, no mention of obscuring vision, and I assume 'normal' means non-magical (confirmed). Apparently, they are vulnerable to weather/wind magic too.
I guess if you want to really buff it up. *shrug* They are your baby and you can have them do whatever you want.
Once again, alchemists would nullify the immunity with consumables and area attacks don't target.
Again, this is all just pointing out simple things the setting allows, if you don't treat the NPCs like idiots fighting the infected for the first time. It doesn't take a genius+ person to realize you can capture infected and find out how to kill them, then just have your troops carry around the tools to do so. (I assume you are going to point to a bonus somewhere and say that its covered)
