The weekend's 50 drop in Blackmore occupants has me alarmed. To many Blackmore isn't so much of a safe haven as it is a symbol. We need to focus all of our forces on Blackmore and Nichols and have it stay that way for a long time. Long enough so that the RRF comes back from the bash, tries to take Blackmore, fails, and concedes Blackmore to the survivors. THEN we start to attack nearby buildings, and slowly purge Ridleybank of the zombies. As long as we have Nichols mall nearly all of our supplies are taken care of. This goes without saying. That makes other resource buildings in Ridleybank rather superfolous. The RRF will much sooner concede Blackmore to us thinking that it will only be that one building. If we can capture that one stronghold in Ridleybank, then this victory will bring in hordes of survivors to flood into Ridleybank causing a massive war in the suburb.
Thats the thing though, a lot of us are heading to Nichols to help keep the supply line running. We're fighting a battle on two fronts, Nichols and the Blackmore. Nichols needs all the men it can get, because if one part is lost, its all lost. We however, only need to barricade one section, and can use less survivors.
As for focussing only on the Blackmore, and not the surrounding buildings, I would agree, except for one thing. It is the RRF's intention to ransack all other nearby buildings, and then focus on us so we have nowhere to run. The Blackmore should be our main goal, but turning a blind eye to our surroundings is about as smart as appointing Sonny as papa of the RRF-OOPS, did I say that out loud *teehee*
