Late last night, The Mighty Haslock NT fell after a surge of 200 zeds arrived on the scene. Over 200 survivors were killed during the night.
With Haslock gone, we have lost one of the final strongholds in Northern Malton.
As it is, I am not stupid enough to believe that we can stay here and make a difference.
And so it is, that I lead TNR on a march to Buttonville.
There, should you so wish, you can join us in making a final stand against the zeds rampaging through malton.
This has gone on long enough: We must stand, we must fight.
United We Stand, Divided We Fall.
To Buttonville: The last Bastion of Humanity, there we shall find four functioning necrotechs and a mall.
We make our stand there.
To arms, brothers!
-Blane

Umm.... caiger mall is lit and last time i check that was in the north. Kinch heights and wyke hills are far better looking than the wiki suggests. Maybe a bit of zombie propoganda has infected the maps.

Buttonville won't work. You got the darn RRF in Kempsterbank right now, plus you know if you try to make this "stand" there, the Dead will be all over you.
Really, do you just have an obsession with dying? It's been said before, and now it'll be said again: We CANNOT hold against them in a siege. The best thing we got for awhile now is going to be guerrilla tactics, which means going into suburbs they ruin, reviving the locals, and moving on to the next suburb to do it again.
If you paid attention at all to the battles of the last month or so, you'd see that even our best efforts failed each time. Santlerville was probably the most organized one, and they held off a portion of the Dead. Just a portion. When the entire battalion got there, they wiped them out immediately.
Dulston was another site of resistance for quite awhile, holding against the Bash. Then the MoB showed up and they were finished in barely a night.
There was a stand in Roftwood, against the RRF Wrecking Ball. That failed and the entire thing became a slaughter.
Before that Shearbank held for awhile against Extinction. Then the Dead came and it fell instantly. Then the efforts to hold Yagoton failed.
The only success we've had in the last month has been in guerrilla tactics; holding places isn't working. Period.

well, I'm not sure that's entirely true, rockby...mostly, it's just fun.
Anyhow, there is some merit to heading south: Gulsonside, scarletwood, pennville, and other angel-frequented suburbs are doing pretty well, the fort down there is completely deserted of humans and survivors, and we still have a steady supply of beer and women trickling in (we even have a lady pirate).
If you simply cannot find a revive anyplace else, that's the best place to go by far

I agree, the south is the place to be at the moment. Ruddlebank, Lockettside, and Blythville are all doing great as well, since that's where I'm at.
However, there is no place to make a stand. If they come, the best you can do is leave.

Well, if you're going to draw the line anywhere, a dedicated force (i.e. not trenchcoaters, and who sleep in the gatehouse) has the best chance in the forts, but I still wouldn't bet on it.

The problem with that is getting people back inside after they die and are dumped. You'd have to coordinate them to get inside while a zombie strike brought the cades down. And you wouldn't want the cades down, simply cause that'd mean they'd be that close to getting in.

Forts are death traps  Im still heading to Buttonville. There are many of us flocking that way, and we intend to meet the zeds head on.  |

I wouldn't...I'm in Kinch Heights, which is 1 'burb north of Buttonville. The northern half of Kinch Heights seems to be under some minor attack, but that was well over 3 hours ago. Not sure of it's current status now, so don't ask.

I agree with Rockby. Our best bet at the moment is to switch tactics. Our undead adversaries outnumber us by far too much for a successful siege.
Guerrilla tactics are the way to go right now.

Have we decided where we're going to fight this guerrilla fight yet?

This. All of this is truth. The Rangers have been practicing these tactics for awhile now. People large scale sieges are a thing of the past now, we can't win them. Perhaps in the future that will change but for now the best course of action is what Rockby stated above. Standing in the way of giant mega hordes like The Dead isn't helping survivors, it's helping them. Survivors have to adapt. |

The fight is everywhere Burgandy.
All those spots in the south that are yellow, yet used to be red, are where the guerrilla fight is.
The line that Beerhah's collective groups have been making in the suburbs around Caiger and others efforts in the Ackland area, is where the guerrilla fight is.
Areas like Pitneybank and Millen Hills, which were recently overrun, yet are now desolate, are where the guerrilla fight is.
We already decided. We've been fighting the damn thing for the last couple of weeks while other people still talk about sieges.
In the last two weeks the Malton Rangers alone have zipped through Lockettside, Ruddlebank, Foulkes Village, and soon New Arkham, helping efforts to reclaim all of these suburbs from desolation.
Next month, those exact same locations will likely be dust again. And we'll be somewhere completely different, perhaps all the way up in Earletown, reclaiming that battlefield.

I'd just like to mention that Extinction retreated into Yagoton before the Dead showed up. Thus proving that in an age of megahorde dominance, they are still terrible.

So, do you guys still want to get some cohesion going in the fight? |
