How about damming the river upstream and letting it build up a good reservior. Then pile old cars, trees, and other debris in the channel and blow the dam. The torrent would take all the debris down as a wet battering ram.

Something the raiders have to consider. In the post Z-Day world danger doesn't just come from the defenders inside. While doing all this fighting, moving around the jail or preparing for an attack you're in danger of attack by zombies.The prospect of a siege in zombie haunted woods is not inviting. In all honesty, I wouldn't even bother with the jail, many people wouldn't. As I said a siege is to long and dangerous, a direct attack would inevitably fail. Everything else takes to long. There are softer targets down the road barricaded up in sub-urban houses. Do you find this valuable? |

Assuming you had your 1 year later setup, I'd hope you had more people. A pair of amateur marksmen could cover a large field of view, each on opposing sides of the facility. According to the layout, it seems like there is a decent open area, if not then this is flawed, BUT: your guards would have to either be hidden, or exceptionally aware. your interior people must be ready for a two pronged assault from two separate entrances. also, Chit's idea is great. BURN YOU OUT. Do you find this valuable? |

If your defense relies on men with rifles, all it takes to beat you is better men, or possibly better rifles. Having both would make it trivial. I recommend getting your hands on some specialized sniper weapons and guards who understand how to use them properly, because if you don't rest assured somebody who does have them and knows how to use them will eventually show up and if they're hostile they can start killing your sentries from cover at a distance and with only 17 people you won't have a large enough force to charge them across open ground and get around their cover.17 people is an extremely small group if you think there is even a chance you will be involved in an armed conflict, I don't imagine it would be hard to round up three or four times that many people with guns who are willing to murder you for whatever they think you have hidden inside your compound.

Poison your water supply, Molotovs in to your crops, release venomous snakes into your compound, say that I want to join then become a mole, finding structural weak points & ways to exploit them.

My raiding group is actually a remnant of the USMC. We number about 150 and have several armored vehicles with heavy guns, RPGs, etc. We also have a few M1-Abrams tanks. I also have two Apache choppers at my disposal. I would simply order a massive strike and pound you until you surrender.But then again, why would I bother with a compound that doesn't represent any threats? Do you find this valuable? |

I would just weld some metal sheets on a couple of bulldozers followed by the rest of my group. Level anything that has people firing from it. then loot the place, pick the crops, and capture slaves.

Trebuchets and Mangonels would be my choice to get in, Mangonels to batter the gates, the walls and your guard towers till there is A: a breach to storm or B: stops you (the defender) from using them in a fightTrebuchets to hurl incendiaries and other unsavoury things over the wall. Taking a trick from the medieval times, dead people/animals (even "live" zeds), human/animal waste, burning tyres or pots of oil, anything that gives of a lot of smoke. Sleep deprivation, by tying a few women and children up outside small arms range, with mega phones set up to amplifi there screams. Remember raiders are not nice. That is on top of the normal poisoning of the water, building trenches, escalade, and battering rams, but the problems with a conventional assault is you will need to outnumber the defenders at least 3 to 1 and you will lose a lot of assaulter's on your way in Do you find this valuable? |
