They tried it twice once at Perryn and then they lasted longer at Creedy but only because it took the zeds longer to get there. There was actually lot of fighting of going on in those battles but it didn't matter because you would kill a zed and it would get right back up. Then we got the ability to close doors and dump bodies so they treid again with the same results.
Finally we got barricades and Oram Walk became the big safehouse only because officer Daxx had enough men to keep them going. But they got overwhelmed and somtime latter the Many came into the picture. The big threat from them was they were so powerfull that they could tear down the heaviest of barricades in only a matter of minutes and people didn't know how to defend agasint them. Once again the CoL turned to it's Cannonball Crew for help. We helped to slow the many down mostly by running to suburbs ahead of them and barricading before they got there. In fact we were the first ones to encounter DARIS because we went the Shearbank to try and protect it from the many and some of men including myself ended up getting PKed (it was the first time that TB was killed). Because of that incident we gained early intel that DARIS and the Many were linked before it publically known. Of coruese there wasn't much the CoL could do for it.
After that we shadowed the Many pretty much he whole time. Despite the raw power in numbers that the Many had the CC's causaties remained pretty low because a lot of my guys remembered how to survive in the days before we even had barricades where other teams were too new for that.
Granted we couldn't do a lot but the CC was the only team that held up agasint the Many's onslaught and was about the only one that did anything agasint them at all until clan l2K and what ever group Von Luthus was running at the time came along. For my efforts the CoL made me Commander in-chief of it's military. I quickly gave the rest CoL's military a crash coruse in surviving the Many's attacks (most didn't do quite as well), but our cordination between teams got better and we started to hold up a little better. There wasn't really an epic battle other than Giddings whcih we weren't at the Many just kind of died out.
The tacticts that we used to defend agasint the Many were
1. Barricade a lot of buildings to EHB so that they have a lot of Hard targets to deal with.
2. Don't clutter into one safehouse but instead spread out so that the whole team doesn't get wiped out.
3. If you can try to stay in buildings with a lot of other surviours so that hopefully they get picked off before you do.
4. Save some AP, check your account offten, and be ready to run.
It was just common sense but it kept us alive. Some of it even helped inspire Von's idea for the Candyland invasion.
