(UNFINISHED)Your Name: IrishHitmanYour location: Dublin, Republic of Ireland (Location 1).This plan is useful in either a worldwide, nationwide, or local outbreak.It is specifically designed for the Dublin area, but I'll speak in general terms where possible.I will be making specific plans for other cities as well.Particularly potent against mass classic zombie epidemic, but with extra caution/brute force, it would also be effective against rage-types as well.Designed to minimise the need for preparation.The plan shall assume a worldwide outbreak has occurred, and that the military is incapable of containing it or is infected.(Note that firearms are uncommon in the Republic of Ireland since the IRA decommissioned).Pre-planning and information to have:- Locations of as many military installations as can be got within 1000km/within your own country and nearby countries.- Locations of petrol stations, supermarkets/"WalMarts," hardware stores, etc (For Ireland, www.yourlocal.ie is excellent).- Literature in small form, including: Survival Guide, Constitution, maps, Steyr AUG end-user manual etc. - Charge your mobile phone(s), music player(s), handheld GPS(s) constantly when out of use.- A radio & walkie talkie.- Batteries, batteries and more batteries.(The Internet is your friend before, during and after).Hour Zero:Announcement of Local Infection, Worldwide Infected rate @ 50% +.Stay put for the first hour.Contact nearby close friends/relatives who are fit for combat and tell them to do exactly as you do, then organise an appropriate meeting time, and inform them of the plan. People you can trust with a weapon and your lives ONLY. Ideally, about 6-12 people is an easy to manage amount.If you have more than that, it may be hard to keep stealthy when moving on foot, but it will yield advantages later.Raid your shed/garage/closet/fire safety station for the following items:- Crowbar (For breaking into places).- Axe (For combat).- Rope/Wire/String (Zombies aren't your only problem).Also pack any long-life foods, and plenty of water (I prefer sports drinks, I'll have them ready).Insure that either the food is light, or that it is easily dumpable when the need to run arrives.Make sure that water, and maps with necessary locations are secured to your person.Monitor the media. Pay attention to the facts, number of people infected, worldwide spread, ignore their uneducated advice.Post in every forum on which you are registered, and email your entire contact list, with your current location, and plan (which shall follow).Electricity may run out quickly, insure that you do this soon.Day One:Location 1.Meet with friends, expand on the upcoming travel plans outlined earlier.Explain exactly the route to follow (South Dublin route below):From Location 1 (South Dublin Area), to Location 2 (Rathmines Barracks), and on to Location 3 (Dublin harbour). (Map to come).Proceed in vehicles until road is blocked/zombies too thick. Drive back a few hundred yards, park the vehicles pointing in the opposite direction.Walk in Indian file along streets if empty, or through gardens/houses if zombies are present in numbers. Enter shops and take as much water (Or beer) and as much unperishable foodstuffs as you can carry. (Instant noodles can last 10 years+, for instance).Other survivors are to be incorporated into the group, but must be assessed beforehand and may not make decisions. Kill aggressors.Trust is deadly when law and order breaks down, the survivors will be mostly comprised of the prepared (you), the lucky and the desperate.Location 2Rathmines Barracks: http://www.62infantry.com/images/Cathal_Brugha_Barracks_Rathmines_Map.jpgBreak into the Armoury, via a door or vehicle through a wall.If the troops are infected, move quickly.The following weapons should/could be readily available at that location:- Steyr AUG (Standard Issue Assault Rifle, Bullpup)- H&K USP 9mm Pistols- 40mm Grenade Launchers- FN MAG GMGs- 60mm/81mm Mortars- SRAAWs.- L96 Sniper Rifles (if you're lucky).The following vehicles should/could be available:- Various trucks such as Bedfords, Land Rovers, F350s, and minibuses: Usually unarmed. (Likely)- Mowag Piranha III: HMGs (Possible, but I wouldn't count on it).- AML 20 or 90 Armoured Cars: 20mm cannon or 90mm anti-tank + GMGs (Likely).- Scorpion Light Tanks: 76mm high explosive + GMGs (Unlikely).Regardless of military deployment during infection, there will be vehicles, ammunition and weapons remaining.There may also be large artillery pieces, but do not waste time attempting to take them unless they're already attached to a vehicle.Search for keys to the vehicles or jack them after your group is fully armed/armoured, and set a watch for other survivors & large zombie groups.Insure that you look military.Load all available ammunition for the weapons you have selected, as well as extra weapons for more survivors later on, into trucks/jeeps/APCs.Fuel supplies should also be loaded. Block off entrances with gates/vehicles, set a revolving watch, sleep in vehicles (high trucks & APCs preferably).In the event of another group being there, join with them and influence them.If they refuse, go directly to the next nearest barracks at Dun Laoghaire harbour.Day Two:Presuming that you haven't been overrun in the night, your group is ready to do something more productive for the long run.You may wait another day for more survivors, but I would advise against this.Proceed to Dublin harbour, plowing/shooting your way through traffic/zombies.Pick up survivors in an empty truck or two, and guard them. Execute infected persons and objectors on the spot.Do NOT supply them with weapons until they can be screened for competence, sanity, infection, intentions etc.In the event that there are too many survivors to transport, tell them to head to Dublin harbour.Priority for transport must go to young women, children, medical staff, and emergency services staff.They're easier to control, and emergency services staff will help you maintain order.Location 3:Dublin Harbour is a major ferryport, and a military outpost of the Irish naval service.If lucky, a naval corvette may be docked, giving you a naval attack possibility for later.Regardless, pick a large ferry (Irish Ferries or P&O are best) that has its car ramp open, and enter it. There is never a day of the week that all ferries are stopped on, except for bad weather, in which case they still have their doors open. Simply drive your military vehicles onto the ferry, have one or two people guard the entrance, and prepare to clear the ship from the inevitable zombie presence.Escort survivors to a bar or other large open area in the ship, and have two of your original group guard it with any police. Instruct all of the survivors to stay calm, and follow orders.Crowd control may become a problem if large numbers turn up, but taking survivors to rooms in small groups coupled with brutal action against wannabe autocrats/anarchists will help. If a zombie is killed in a room, move to the next one to avoid infection. Allow medical staff to do their job, but be absolutely certain that none of the injured are infected.If the zombie numbers attacking from the dock grow to an uncontrollable amount, close the car doors.Once the ship is secure, and the number of survivors coming has stopped, begin screening of the survivors.Attempt to raise other ships via the ship's radio, and coastal stations via satellite. If contact is made, inform them of your position & affiliation.Afterwards:From the strong position on the ferry, clear the port and other ships.Use the other ships to recon and raid other cities on the coast for survivors, weapons & supplies.Make regular raids by vehicle for supplies as well. Nick a few uninfected cows in the countryside (unlikely to be infected due to low population density).Depending on the nature of the zombies, it will be a minimum of 5 years to decades before the zombies are eliminated via natural means.Attempting to wipe them out will not work, so don't even try.Overall Survival Philosophy:
- Weapons are key to everything, prioritise their procurement at the same level as water.
- Many will attempt to use Z-day as a spree to do whatever they want, rather than what is necessary for the survival of the human race. Kill such people.
- Surviving alone with your lads is great craic, but the population is going to have to come back somehow. Prioritise the survival of viable/possible mothers.
- Contact other surviving groups by any means necessary, genepools need expanding.
- The creation of a state (country) is top priority once the basics have been supplied, law & order must be restored after the chaos of Z-day.
- Execute those obsessed with salvation by divine means, they are meatsnacks that will hinder development after order is restored (if they survive).
- Humanity is robust, don't go emo and keep spirits as high as possible. Yes, people are dying, but at least we're off work.
