Starting a new game

A new game asks for a start: what you carry and what waits in your stash. The default is Standard.

Start	Difficulty
Geared	Easy	Armoured and armed, with a well-stocked stash.
Standard	Normal	Dressed, a pistol with two magazines, an axe and two health bags; spare gear at home.
Naked	Hard	Nothing on you; a few clothes, an axe, one health bag, a water and a can at home.
