Wait until they aren't looking before the fresh zombies 
attack.  That's always fun, and lets you use the surprise 
rules.
Cheat a little.  Give a big bad guy the Seventh Son knack 
(I know they're not in HoE, but pretty it up as a power or 
something) and cancel the posse's chips that they're 
negating that crippling wound with.
Fight them at night, or when they're answering the call of 
nature, or find a way to stop them using all their nifty 
powers.  I'm tempted to start up a HoE page and put some 
new abominations up.  Anyone interested?
I was thinking of starting off with something to suck out 
that pesky radiation or give people some extra Strain...

No tears of rage, no cries of pain
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
In smalltown England.
