Purpose and Goals
All of Malton is under the thumb of the heathen zombie hordes. It is time for the survivors of Malton to take up arms and reclaim territory from the zombies!
While it will be impossible to permanently reclaim all of Malton, those involved will make make a pilgramige to those famous places of Malton. The Blackmore Building, Caiger Mall, and many other less important but equally unique locations. Not to mention a visit to Ridleybank, Eastonwood, and the Extinction Zones. Even the homeland of the Dead.

"I don't want to get any messages saying, 'I am holding my position.' We are not holding a Goddamned thing. Let the Germans do that. We are advancing constantly and we are not interested in holding onto anything, except the enemy's balls. We are going to twist his balls and kick the living shit out of him all of the time." -George Patton
Tactics
We will be imitating the Urban Warfare Doctrine.

I fight block by block |
River tactics are unacceptable and stupid. No one ever won a war by retreating and giving their homes to the zombie hordes. Especially now that the difficulty of repairing a ruined building is compounded every day it is ruined.
"Never yield ground. It is cheaper to hold what you have than to retake what you have lost." -George Patton
Equipment
We need more than just bullets and blades to reclaim the red zones, we need generators, fuel, radio transmitters, toolboxes, FAKs, needles, and some tactics!
Have at least a few FAKs, needles, and one of the heavier items listed at all times.
Don't rely on the guy next to you to have the necesary supplies. They won't. It's your job to power up and repair buildings.
Remember: Everyone needs a toolbox. Some buildings take upwards of 100 AP to repair.
Basic Drill
- Move towards goal
- Kill zombies in first building you see
- Repair buildings
- Barricade
- Continue moving to goal
Note that clans may devise their own strategy, this drill is for unaffiliated survivors.
All the buildings on the way to a location must be captured to maintain supply lines, communication, fallback points, and supplies. This is so that the needed buildings that were not listed can still be captured without focusing too much attention on them and diverting resources.
Lastly, if you see any job that needs done, assume the responsibility. Don't assume that someone else will unruin a building, repair the barricades, find a generator, etc.
"We may take it then that an army without its baggage-train is lost; without provisions it is lost; without bases of supply it is lost." -Sun Tzu's "Art of War"
Priority
- Necrotech Facilities
- Malls
- Police stations, hospitals
- Auto repair shops, fire stations, and factories
Dark buildings are at the very bottom of the list.
"In the absence of orders, go find something and kill it." -Erwin Rommel

Location of the Crusade
November 5th Begin the 5th of November and end of the Crusade.
November 3rd It is with a heavy heart that previous obligations must be fulfilled in the place of staying in Pitneybank. The C08 must begin to move towards Ridleybank to participate. Head to Pimbank and get ready. Probably best to pick up needles on the way. They're hard to find in Pimbank and Ridleybank.
October 29th Skip straight to Pitneybank. There isn't enough to kill between Dunningwood and Giddings Mall. Stock up on supplies. We'll be plunging into Red Zones soon. South Western Pitneybank especially needs help.
October 28th South! Into Dunningwood!
October 27th We must begin moving into position for the 5th of November. Onwards, to Pescodside!
October 21st Dulston, the primary target of the campaign in the North-East, shall be cleared.
October 20th Begin the march into Rhodenbank.
Before October 20th Santlerville
(We're gathering here, not "freeing" it as it is currently green.)
