If they over ran all barricades, you should all have atleast and escape tunnel in each section of your base. Suggest giving these doors which require heavy latches, or to pull and push multiple levers correctly to open. can't just have them all pulls cause who is to say one just won't fall on them and open it all up. Once on the other side, you will want some way to be able to access the outside, but be well out of range of your main base. Fall back points should already be laid out, if even just having multiple fallback mini-bases. Should you be unable to reach an exit, a simple solution is the garbage dumpsters that are the cubes that have the hatch doors that slide on the side. Not the rectangle ones you always see people jumping in movies. The dumpsters I am talking about (ofcourse cleaned out, smelling nice, and with emergency supplies in them, including a CB radio that you just simply drill a hole through the dumpster to attach and antenia to (previous to being takin over ofcourse). These ED (emergency dumpsters) will be last resort safe points and can easily be rigged with a simple latch and masterlock to be secured. You might wanna reinforce the actual hatch that slides back and forth that you would normally throw garbage in, that you are using as a good, but over all, these little EDs will save your life if you can't get back. Then just sit and wait for the people who made it out to come and rescue you while you chat with them on the radio and eat the pork and beans that you have sitting in there. Just an idea.

As with all things in life a little planning goes a long way. You should figure this as a possibility. Any stationary location can be overrrun. I see two answers stay or run. Simple. If you have the firepower and supplies to break the siege go for it. I wouldn't recommend wasting the resources. Once your perimeter is broken you have to have a preplanned escape route. Underground is preferable. Having a vehicle on standby is the simplest way. You had better be prepared to shoot your way out because youre compound will probably be surrounded. I would escape via an underground location to a vehicle. After that set off some kind of explosion to divert attention(and kill alot hopefully) before maing my getaway.

Having a walled fortress is great. I would have to go out on a limb and say one of the most valuable things for a survivalist group trying to start a colony, however a fortress will fall if you design it to. If you are building from scratch or have time on your hands I would suggest looking at Mideval castles. They had several walls and other obstacles for defenses. If you are fortifying a building do what you can. Use debris to form makeshift walls and obstacles around the entire building and if you can't build up dig down. Create a small declining ditch that leads to a very steep incline surrounding your fortress so zombies cannot reach the top. Once that is done look to other means of defense such as erecting walls or the use of funneling mazes which will create a narrow path toward your gun nests and even after all this fails have the back up plan to escape if necessary. Dig a tunnel from a soft point in your fortress somewhere outside, if you have time that is or modify a vehicle and go out Dawn of The Dead style.
