Talk:Randallbank Barricade Plan

Suggested Update to Barricade Plan

Hi, I am Jimmy "Two Stacks", Malton Fire Department Captain and representative from the DEM. I've been doing quite a lot of work revising and coordinating barricade plans in the NE part of Malton to try and get them all in line with the UBP if they aren't already and also to coordinate between suburbs wherever possible.

I'd like to make a number of suggestions for changes to your existing BP in Randallbank that I think will improve things for survivors in the suburb. The current plan is already pretty good, but here are my key suggestions:

Key Changes

St Columbanus' Hospital (61, 31) - dropped to VSB.

There are three hospitals in close proximity here; per the UBP, only one needs to be VSB. In the current plan, Martin General (61, 33) is used, however as this is adjacent to Gillett Place PD (61, 34) this is not the best choice. Using St Columbanus' as the entry point provides better access for other buildings in the far NW.

Chiles Auto Repair (67,30) and Kelreher Walk PD (68, 30) - dropped to VSB

This is a simple change to fall in with UBP guidelines - there are no other auto repair shops or PDs within a few squares, so these two both need to be VSB.

Entry Point: Club Polkinghorne (67, 31) - relocated to Duckworth Cinema (68, 32)

With Chiles and Kelreher both at VSB, having a 3rd entry point in a cluster with them is not necessary. However the 3x3 block from 67,31 to 69, 33 does need an entry point to serve it, as the other Cinemas in the suburb are all VSB, Duckworth seemed an obvious choice.

Chaldecott Auto Repair (64, 34) - dropped to VSB

At least one of the two Auto repair shops in this vicinity should be VSB to meet UBP guidelines for resource buildings. Chaldecott provides better coverage to nearby buildings than Paterson.

Entry Point: St Leo's Church (67, 34) - relocated to Flaherty Cinema (69, 34)

With Higley Avenue School (66, 33) adjacent and Towner Lane PD (68, 36) so close by, St Leo's is superflous as an entry point. However, the area to the east is slightly weak on entry points, so I have auggested that this EP be moved to Flaherty Cinema (69, 34) instead.

New Entry Point: Budge Cinema (60, 39)

Not strictly speaking a requirement, however this building provides good access to the run of buildings along the West side of the suburb. With the inclusion of this building as an EP, all Cinemas in the suburb are VSB which makes for an easy-to-remember plan for survivors looking for an entry point!

Entry Point: The Feadon Building (64, 39) - raised to EHB.

This is simply not needed - the Edmonson and Roberts buildings provide plenty of coverage for this area.

Balkwill Auto Repair (68, 39) - dropped to VSB

Again, to fall in with UBP guidelines, at least one of the two auto repair shops in the SE corner of the suburb should be VSB. I have chosen Balkwill because it is better position as an entry point than Tufton Auto.

Executive Summary

In brief: All Police Departments, Cinemas and Schools in the suburb are VSB. St Columbanus' Hospital (61, 31), Littlehales NT (63, 30) and three of the auto repair shops - Chiles (67, 30), Chaldecoot (64, 34) and Balwill (68, 39) are all VSB. Finally, there are entry points at the Edmonson Building (62, 37) and the Roberts Building (65, 37). All other buildings should be barricaded to EHB. There is no point in the suburb where any survivor should require more than 3AP to get indoors, and there are both safehouses and resource buildings available to non-freerunners. There are 15 entry points which represents just over 1/4 of all buildings in the suburb.
