If two of the same side survivors in combat with a zombie, in Melee phase, player need to choose defend or attack, however one of the survivors can not Melee, and he doesn't have any Melee weapon, so the player force to choose defend?

If a model has any dice in their melee stat then they can still attack. If you can roll any dice you can attack even if you don't have a weapon, you are just punching and kicking instead. For example, Allen and Donna are in Melee with a Walker and neither of them have a melee weapon. Allen can choose to attack or defend since he can always roll a White dice in Melee even if he doesn't have a weapon, but Donna has no dice in Melee if she is unnarmed so she is forced to defend. I hope that helps

If they have no dice in the melee stat then they cannot use the melee action unless they have equipment that gives them dice to that stat. It was mentioned later during the kickstarter campaign, most likely updated with further playtesting but was added after the rules we have were released. There have been a few additions too like each class (bruiser, runner, etc) having abilities and actions unique to their type. Those were put on the Mantic forums but aren't in the playtest rules either

I thought I would post the extra rules for each type of character in case you didn't have access to them Runner - automatically pass checks to climb rolls over barricades. Bruiser - get a free headshot in Melee when on the winning side. Marksman - May spend 2 actions instead of 1 with a Shoot attack to gain 1 free headshot if they succeed in the attack. Tacticion - may reroll checks to Hold Your Nerve. Support - Once per activation, a Support character may sacrifice one of their own actions to give a extra action to a friendly model in their Kill Zone if that friendly model has not yet activated that turn.

Looks like those rules will go by as it says in the rulebook itself so they would all have to defend if someone has no melee dice at all. However, with rules have been updated to say that everyone can use a stat even if they normally have no dice so long as they have a weapon that gives them dice in it So glad they did away with the "some characters cannot do actions if they start with no dice" thing as you sometimes had models loot a gun or knife they then couldn't use

Yes as above if a survivor has no melee stat/dice on his card then they have to defend. The only way they can attack is if they have a card with an attack value. e.g 1 red. As for the combat 2 survivors 1 rolling 2 white the other is just defending 2 red and on walker (who never choice to defend unless prone) one red. walker rolls 2, the defending survivor would not roll due to not having any attack value the attacking survivor rolls 2 then the walker would be pushed back. That the way i read it.
