Getting Blackmore Back

For some reason, I read that as "Get kilt while you're at it."

I'm all for going back to the Blackmore, but Nichols is our most convenient supply point, and it's under siege, at the moment. More importantly, there are a lot of survivors there who might be willing to participate in this event, provided Nichols gets kind of boring. If we drag a good chunk of the mall's population into Ridleybank when Nichols is facing daily break-ins, it will NOT make us look like the good guys, here.

I'm afraid we really need to stabilize the Village before we go to the Blackmore. Taking the Blackmore away from 6 zeds might be a cakewalk, but as soon as the lights are on in there, the trick will be (as it has always been) holding it against the angry mobs that will arrive to take it away from us. We can't do that if everyone in the SSZ is looking for a revive in the wake of the annihilation of the local malls. I feel like Malton is still kind of reeling from LUE's assault.

For now, though, we might want to organize the men and women of the Spade who are hanging out in Nichols (and elsewhere) and bring them here so we can organize this thing right, this time. Having read the RRF's account of the Second Battle of Blackmore, I begin to realize we need to aim our sights a little higher than just the Blackmore.
