Basically the plan is to form up with the htree privates that were under my command and to go from there. probably take to the swamps and forrests, we are all trained to survive there, we know our equipment and there is no population there thus no zombies.

It's moot, if only 78% of the world's population are zombies, most chances are the humans aren't in such a bad condition at all. It's the world after the outbreak is dealt with you should be concerned about...

But 78% zombies means that there are 22% humans, a ratio of barely 3.5:1, so there shouldn't be a reason why the humans couldn't with it in time...

EDIT: Oh, yeah, zombies can't ressurect humans who are already dead, at least in most interpertations of a zombie apocalypse.

Hmph, alright, assuming the humans are classicaly screwed then.

Item of value: No idea, actually.

Luxury item: A board wargame of some manner, I suppose.

Weapons: 1. A knife, not as a melee weapon but more as a utility (Since if you're in close-combat with zombies you are quite dead anyway).

For a ranged weapon, a battle rifle of some type, like the FN FAL (Assuming I'm not allowed to lodge around a HMG, that is), and hope that it has the stopping power to deal with zombies beyond point-blank range.

Transportation: A Ural-4320 truck.

If I could, I'd round up a group of survivors and go up into the mountains, where the zombies would be rarer due to the disparity of the former population and handicapped by their lack of dexterity, so we wouldn't be overrun. For supplies, I'd take my group in raids on nearby (former) population centers with the Ural.

What kind of Zombies are we talking about? Dawn of the Dead slow and stupid Zombies or Omega man fast and scheming Zombies?

well let me thinkLuxury Item: A decent swag to sleep inMelee Weapon: A decent samurai sword Ranged Weapon: Being I'm only allowed a hand gun then a Glock 22Transport: Toyota Hilux as there unbreakable and I can mount a bullbar to mow the zombies down with that get in the way.Then I think I'll try to find a decent place to hole up in and fortify on top of a hill with clear space around that I could set up some good old fashioned booby traps and razor wire fences.

I think riding a horse leaves you open to zombies jumping on you from overhanging bluffs and trees and even on the flat your legs are wide open for bites from hangers on, and what happens if the horse throws you?

Now while it would certainly be a good means of transportation after the zombies are all dead i'd want the protection of bite proof armor around me until then.

[Task Force]

Hmm, well...

Id find a building (perferable a castle) on a hill, and as said before id turn it into a fort. Barbed wire, bear traps, and plenty of guns/aamo. I would also keep a good storage of fuel in a tank, being that you could just steal it from a gas station.

In the fortress id have a small farming area, and a cold storage place for stuff that needs to be cool. (maby underground.)

Im pretty sure since we have acouple of military bases around here I might be able to get a armored vehicle. and if I cant do that id Take a pickup truck and put steel plates on the side, and wire on the windows.


IMO this castle posted by Turbografx would do good, or something similar. Being that there is water surrounding it. and only one enterance that I would keep closed/ pull up.

I wouldn't plan on riding it into a chivilric melee a la Mount and Blade.

Well not by choice certainly but the only real defense you got on a horse is speed. The problem though is you can't keep at a full gallop all the time or you'll kill the horse and put yourself afoot.

So what if you're just trotting down the trail after a long day of foraging? You're tired, the horse is tired, you're hauling a whole case of twinkies and suddenly a dozen or so Zombies pounce out from the bushes on either side and glom onto your legs and saddle? Seems to me there'd be a fair chance that at least one of them would sink a tooth somewhere before you could accelerate out of there and knock them all off. - checkmate.

Me, I prefer an armored roadwarrior type vehicle like Task Force envisions. Even stationary you're only vulnerable if you have to leave it. You can carry more weaponry, more loot, more people, more everything, and if zombies get in your way you just run them down and squish them.
