We went from rather easily holding off a 100+ mob of zombies at the Blackmore with about 125 very organized and disciplined survivors
What?! How have I missed this? That's a lot of people in Blackmore. I guess our legacy lives on! Glad to hear it!
Oh yeah. We had most of Greater Blackmore (well, Ridleybank) lit up and EHB for a few days around the time GC had their little pirate reunion. Only a handful of those present still identify as BBB, but we've had a lot of great survivor groups show up and make this siege possible. It's been a great time.
Numbers in the Blackmore are still falling, but I'm not seeing a lot of survivors being dragged into the street or killed, so I suspect there's a lot of folks taking cover in surrounding buildings or getting ammo to deal with the zombies inside. Zombie numbers inside have remained pretty much static for the last 24 hours.
We're adjusting our tactics, and though things are still pretty chaotic, I don't see a massive fleeing to the hills by survivors inside. Sure, we're basically forced to be trenchcoaters just to hold the Blackmore, but so far, we appear to be holding it. A lot of the surrounding buildings are ruined, though, so I won't pretend we haven't lost some ground versus a week ago.
The rule change has been a nasty surprise, but it hasn't spelled immediate and certain defeat.
