Shacknews was held up...at Stickling. For a while, anyway.As for 'where was the Malton Colossus' (it's the New Malton Colossus, really), we were helping out in Yagoton and/or at Whippey NT. Cuz, sometimes, NT>Mall.
Shacknews had to fight bots and zerging at a level LUE has luckily never been forced to confront, and they were still dominant. That's why they'll always be the greatest horde in UD history. The Many had a sense of style, The RRF has had dominant longevity, and if you don't watch out, Extinction may have the biggest effect of the game of all, but Shacknews is the best, always and forever more. Had they been in any battle in any era of the rules, zombies would never have lost.
You're also totally right about the second part, sans the word "sometimes". I really hope you don't split attention with helping out Yagoton, though. I think you could hold Whippey for more than one attack if you got 100-150 people in there defending it. Less if your people are active at the right time. Barricades help make the AP deficit against zombie claws even out. If you don't put enough people in there, you'll spend the rest of the battle just trying not to get behind in the revive queue.
