Making my final stand in Orto Botanico dell'Università di Pavia (Botanical gardens in Italy)

With Zeng Tian, formally Duke Wenzhao of Xingyang

Stephan Maden, former English rugby player

Tamunosiki Atorudibo, former Nigerian Sprinter

and Henry Pickering Bowditch, former dean of harvard medical school.


I like my chances

Location: USS Gridley (hit the Disambiguation page, so i will take the one that is still in service)

people: (assuming dead people count) Eduard Pulpe Russian WWI Fighter Ace. to bad gridley's not a carrier.

Simon Lessing. British Triathlete. has the endurance to run/bike/swim circles around the Zeds. to bad he doesnt know how to hit them.

Keran Hyde British Rugby player. give this man some bite-proof armor!

Bernd Giese- German Chemist: maybe he can figure out how to turn the they serve onboard into actual food.

I've been lumped with;
Farish A. Noor: A Malaysian political scientist and historian.
Thomas Latham: US Represntative for Iowa's 4th Congressional district. (Score!)
Oshiro Miwa: A Japanese 'glamour' model.
Abdelatif Bahdari: A Palestinian footballer.

We make our stand at the ruins of Rievaulx Abbey in North Yorkshire.

WOE BETIDE THE HORDE THAT FACES OUR MIGHT

The biggest problem I have is communicating. I would only be able to speak to Latham (the most boring member) and possibly Noor, assuming the page 3 girl and footballer can't speak english.

Also, if dead people count my chances go way up as I scored Julius Caeser!

Julio Pablo Rodríguez Cristóbal, (born August 9, 1977 in Juan Lacaze, Uruguay) is a Uruguayan footballer who will intimidate the undead with his extremely long name.

Kristinn Jónsson (born 4 August 1990) is an Icelandic football player. Great. another one, maybe we can start a league.

Sanpei Hayashiya (1925–1980), a Japanese Rakugo comedian. Hes dead... funny.

and lastly Alan Mackay was a long-serving reporter for BBC Scotland's Reporting Scotland. he will slay the undead with the fury within his celtic blood and then do a modest news piece on the event.

our hiding place will be Wylde Glacier (73°32′S 166°42′E) situated east of Mount Murchison in the Mountaineer Range, where both we and the Zombies will freeze to death, (or re-death) in short order. Except for possibly the scot who'll think its rather balmy.

Errrrmmm do animals count as members of a team?

Edit: Heres the gang...looks like i get a dead hungarian olympist, a scottish military man(dead),a dead colonial administrator/tax collector, and a living welsh footballer. And it all goes down in a town in southwest england...

Salcombe is a town in the South Hams district of Devon, south west England. The town is close to the mouth of the Kingsbridge Estuary, built mostly on the steep west side of the estuary and lies within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The town's extensive waterfront and the naturally sheltered harbour formed by the estuary gave rise to its success as a boat- and shipbuilding and sailing port and, in modern times, tourism especially in the form of pleasure sailing and yachting. There is also a crabbing industry.

...I'm laughing at my results already...

1. You might not believe this one but my first team member is none other than King Leonidas...*insert 300 joke here*

2. Joaquín Crespo...a soldier, general, and president of Venezuela from 1884-1898 -shrugs-

3. Interesting...third member is one Ahmad Ghany...a 2004 graduate of McMaster University's health sciences program, and was one of 17 people initially arrested in the 2006 Toronto terrorism arrests.Two years later, he was among the suspects in the alleged terrorism case who were released and had all charges dropped...go figure

4. And finally..."Old Blood and Guts" General George S Patton...

And the showdown is going down actually not far from where I live...Eglin Air Force Base...guess if the zombies break through we can always get a lift on those cool AC-130s that I see land there sometimes...

Émilie Gomis - French Basketball player

Iain Fraser - Canadian Ice Hockey player

Def Rhymz - Dutch Rapper

Jelena Dokić - Serbian Tennis player

Westward Ho - Devon

Which is bloody odd as my Gran lived there for most of my youth before her death, and I know the area quite well. We might just survive this.

My battleground shall be the wastelands of Franklin, New Hampshire and I shall be fighting for my life with Brian Mann (born May 7, 1980) is a former American football quarterback for the Los Angeles Avengers in the Arena Football League., the near-zombie Gwendolyn Midlo Hall (born 27 June 1929) is a prominent historian and public intellectual, the brainy Kirk Herman Schulz (b. 1963 in Portsmouth, Virginia) is an American educator and 13th president of Kansas State University, and the left leaning Sandra L. Smith is the former leader of the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) .

So yeah, the old lady would be toast, the "Footballer" would be relatively handy for muscle assuming he isn't a tool. The university guy might be handy for brains (no pun intended) and the commie might be a handy all-rounder.

Though I am not sure why I would be in Americaland... at least I would have access to lots of guns

Brings back many memories.

To take Keta's format:

Please, for the love of god, use Ward as Zombie bait.

Never! With our Spiritual leige by my side, I shall call forth a horde of Ultramarines and SAVE THE WORLD.

Then women will like me.

I'll be walking down the Paraibinha River with:
Savion Glover, American tap-dancer and coreographer
Joe Craig McMurtry, pitcher for the Atlanta Braves, Texas Rangers and Houston Astros
Zbigniew Pierzynka, a Polish long distance runner
Raja Zarith Sofia, the wife of Sultan Ibrahim Ismail of Johor

So I get a guy who can dance zombies to death, a guy who can pitch grenades at blinding speeds, a Pole that can outrun the undead and the wife of a Sultan.

Overall, not bad.

What about trying this with the 40K Wiki/Lexicanium?

First location is where you fight.
First four IC are who you fight with.
Last IC is who you fight against.

This can't end well for me....

My 2nd survivor is Aleksey Igudesman, a Russian concert musician

I'm going to die a horrible death in West-Knollendam (a Dutch town) after flinging these individuals (and copious amounts of chocolate and wooden shoes) to the pack of ravening zombies.



Gotta admit though, it's quite the postcard locale to be breathing one's last.

Philadelphia Open Championship Golf Course...mother of god.

With...

Lene Marlin...a Norwegian music artist.

Jamaal Branch, a mediocre NFL player.

The 8th Tactical Squadron of the Polish Air Force...

Sweet.

Chuck norris, because he brings the apocalypse to the zombies.
