Taking a building
Apr 30 2009, 10:38 PM EDT
If you absolutely need to enter a building in an infected area, you need to be really careful. Enter the first room in the house with guns and knives out, ready for anything. Once one room has been completely secured(don't forget closets) shut all the doors and lock them with wire, keeping any zombies in, but also providing a quick means of escape, slash it with a knife, any knife worth a damn such as a kabar or tracker will slash through thin to medium wire. The roof is the best place to be as long as you have an alternate escape set up. Remember, the only thing zombies understand is death. Do yourself a favor. Teach them.

no no no no, Worcestershire sauce works SOOOOOO much better.My mantra when it comes to Ghouls in a building is "When in doubt, burn 'em out." Any and all un-necessary buildings that are over run and not being used as a forward outpost should be burned and demolished with all surviving infected killed. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

"no no no no, Worcestershire sauce works SOOOOOO much better.i would go with burning a building, unless i needed something in it. i thought this thread was about taking a building that was being used by other survivors. that would be a more interesting topic 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

"Worcestershire sauce stings."Exactly, makes it more fair for the Ghouls. This thread should be about taking a building from a group of equally armed survivors of a rival variety. Mac 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

You are always wet and wind up taking a dump in a bucket-which oddly is not as much fun as it sounds like. I suggest the top floor uless of course you are a Marine ordered to stay of the F&%$ing roof in that case stay on the roof. Do you find this valuable? |

If you have lets say raiders, their are several ways of doining it. Brits tend to "storm" buildings and do things very quick. Always go through windows, use a grenade to clear the room and then 2 man assault teams to move in. As you come through the door keep moving to the sides so the other guy can move in. anymore will just restrict your movement. Make sure however you have one fireteam "suppressing" the enemy. Speed in this case is crucial. Take the ground before the enemy can react. Try not to get caught up in room to room fighting or else you will loose the inititvie. If you don't have a stock of grenades then take it slower. Try to flank the enemy positions or wait untill he has to reload. As for clearing top-bottom etc I suppose its better that way becasue stairwells can be difficult obstacles without grenades etc. But if you can't then just go through a window for the frontdoor maybe booby trapped and will be too obvious of entry unless absolutley necessary. hope thats detailed enough.

The strategy you have presented is one for trained, armed groups who have had the luxury of hundreds of hours drilling and practicing with seasoned instructors.When done by civilians, reaction times will be slower, decisions will be slower, and as a result, casualties will be higher. As for going through windows, how would they do this? Would they be expected to swing on a rope, dive through, or smash and climb? Each is a big ask of a civvie survivor. The latter one is most likely, but comes with the highest risk of cuts from the glass. Femoral artery nick and it's game over, man, game over. The safest way I can see to clear a building of Raiders is to smoke them out. Do you find this valuable? |

"The strategy you have presented is one for trained, armed groups who have had the luxury of hundreds of hours drilling and practicing with seasoned instructors.Mate it was just one suggestion. Yes you could smoke them out good idea not saying it isn't but what if you can't "smoke them out?" If you not sure then just do it slower like I said, you no, take it easy. And for windows well I assuming that they'll be smashed out and stuff. The building will dictate the entry point but in that scenario one front door and more windows. Harder to predict that way and like I said mate it was just one way of doing it. Also you could train a militia (it would take time but eventually etc.) Do you find this valuable? |

"Mate it was just one suggestion. Yes you could smoke them out good idea not saying it isn't but what if you can't "smoke them out?"My point is that as ironic as it may seem for a zombie website, you need to ground the ideas in reality. And your survivor group won't be a team of crack commandos. It will be a ragtag bag of strangers, of varying (possibly worrying) fitness levels. Whilst it is wise to take proven strategies from wherever you can, you need to be able to exectue them. So if your idea is to escape a city in a boat, you need to be able to sail or pilot that boat. Otherwise, it turns from a good idea into a bad one. So between pulling off a Rainbow Six, or dousing one corner of the building in kerosene and lighting a match, which is more easily accomplished by the motley crew of survivors you are likely to be found with?

"My point is that as ironic as it may seem for a zombie website, you need to ground the ideas in reality.Mate, I think your getting me wrong. I wrote that on the bases that you have a settlement like yours and you have trained some sort of militia. This is after you have trained them like you said. Don't take me the wrong way mate I see where your coming from. This guy wanted to no different ways so I gave him one on that basis I described. Do you find this valuable? |
