| On February 2nd 2010, the plucky members of Team Anaconda received word that the Militant Order of Barhah was laying siege to Marven Mall. After recently defending Lockettside from a massive onslaught, the team decided to assist the situation to buy Lockettside some time to regroup. Operation: Road to Perdition’s objectives were to defend Marven Mall, Recover North and South Blyville, and work the local revive points.
|
Operation: Top of the World, Ma! was the second op for the Battlehawks this year, carrying on the momentum from their previous op, “Back to Our Roots” which reclaimed the long-in-the-red Fortress One, Fort Perryn.
“Top o’ the World” was an attempt to retake the North-eastern corner of Malton, the suburb of Dulston. Four NT buildings, three hospitals, four police departments and a mall make this suburb a rather dangerous place to stay.
|
February for Team Cold Cell kicked off with Operation Gown and Slippers, a three phase plan to retake the suburbs of Dulston and Pescodside in NE Malton, culminating in a Cold Style competition. The operation was planned and led by Cold Cell’s own long serving Chief Assault Officer, Kevin Turvey, giving regular CO theYeas a chance to relax and enjoy the finer things in life... namely killing zombies with baseball bats.
|
When Dark Watch entered Darvall Heights, it was a suburb under siege. More than twenty zeds attacked and destroyed both Herman NT and Crossman PD. With lightning quickness Dark Watch stormed and recovered these buildings. The battle was tenacious, turning now to the side of the zeds, and then back to the daring heroes of Dark Watch. New members made immediate impact in Real Time Strikes, including Jim McCloud, Sir Darin, and Mercinus3.

The Fortress is the largest survivor group in Urban Dead. That is an impressive claim. From its humble beginnings in 2005, The Fortress has gone from strength to strength, gaining new members, growing bigger, and branching out in many directions to make life in The Fortress so much more than just a game. Under the superb leadership of Jensonson, The Fortress has seen many changes in every way that it works since it started all that time ago. Many new members have joined, and unfortunately members have left for many reasons, but always The Fortress has been a group that is very good at what it does – killing zombies, helping survivors, and most importantly having fun. With so much going on, it can be hard to keep up with such a large and active group.
This new monthly publication sets out to help you do just that, keeping you up to speed with all that is happening. TFN was started a long time ago, but has never really grown to much importance within the group, despite the efforts of the previous editors. As the new editor of TFN, I hope that this will change, with TFN entering a new stage in its history. A monthly publication detailing all that there is to know about The Fortress from the past month. Which, might I add, is an awful lot. Be it the general exploits of the four Combat Teams as they battle for a safer, more human Malton, the newest group to join our Chain of Allies, all the promotions handed out in the past month, the latest ABAs achieved by our members, or simply the most recent discussion in the Tavern over a (fair) few drinks while tuning in to BOOM Radio, TFN covers it all and so much more.
So grab a drink, sit back, and let us take you on a journey into an alternate reality, where in one small city in England tired and hungry people battle to survive in a world overrun by zombies, abandoned by their government and left to fend for themselves. And leading that battle for survival is a group of dedicated and experienced people, willing to put their lives on the line for the greater good (and a monthly cheese ration).

| Landmarks

| The Fortress forum was humbly fashioned just over four years ago and, incredibly, the group leaders (myself included) were unconvinced that it was absolutely necessary. Urban Dead was a simple browser based game and The Fortress was able to function at its single base in central Malton through in-game chat and via mobile phone when a player ventured further afield. Today, of course, the forum is an essential tool enabling us to substantially enhance both our efficiency and enjoyment of the game – without it, there is no way we could have expanded into such a thriving community. Four years on and our incredible and unique forum
|
has reached a landmark, the thousandth member joined in Feb 2010 as we passed our 200,000th post.
TFN – The Fortress News Wikizine – also reaches a new landmark today with Issue #1
|
being published. Previously TFN had been crafted as a single Wiki page with recent operations being uploaded when possible by TFN writers. Now the wikizine is becoming a monthly newsletter, more fresh and vibrant than before with far more relevance to the current moment. It has become an essential read for all Fortress members and friends alike to discover all of our epic feats around Malton, so many of which would otherwise have gone unnoticed by the casual survivor.
|
There are many other landmarks for The Fortress to achieve in 2010 and beyond and I have no doubt that they will continue to become greater and greater, as they always have done with each previous year. With the implementation of TFN monthly; everyone will be able to read about our efforts exactly when and as they happen. I can't wait!
Stay Vigilant!
