Hi, I popped here to say hello from Tyrant's Legion (we are the reinforcements Eetion gathered over at New Badab forum). You might have noticed (from under that pile of bodied outside Mitchem Mall) that we've now joined in the assault. My ID link, in case you want to add it into your contacts, is: http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=2124699

Anyway, I've got one suggestion and one question for the Mitchem Mall battle...

Suggestion: Instead of taking a bite off all the humans and then running to the relative safety of the bank (or Club Izzard which Tyrant's Legion used as hideout) we should probably just stay put. Sure, getting shot in the head takes us 10 to 15 AP next day we rise up, but it also takes them humans the 11+ AP they need to drop us and dump our bodies outside so they can start barricading again. If we run away and leave no bodies to hold the mall, then they start barricading again and we probably use a lot more than 10 to 15 AP to run away, return and break the barricades gain, no?

Question: Whats the official munching time for todays attack? Last night I was all prepared to start my attack run on 18:00 GMT exact, but as zombies are really bad with watches I luckily saw that Mitchem was open even before that and could join in right away

Anyway, I'll be following this thread to coordinate our attacks.

All Flesh MUST be Eaten!

Welcome Polaria, we are glad to have you, Eetion, and the rest of your strike team in the Mitchem Mall fight!

We can certainly try to hold a corner of Mitchem Mall, but that tactic only works if we are able to kill all of the humans in that corner and then ransack it. We tried that tactic two days ago and lost badly because the humans were rebuilding faster than we could kill them. Now that we are stronger in numbers, I'm willing to try to hold the ground.

**HiveFleetPlastic**

Shaax went into the mall in search of brains. I stood up and followed him with my meagre AP after recovering from my earlier headshot and we're now in the northwest corner again. We got in via the breach in the northeast of the mall, though I don't know if it's still there. There was another zombie here, but they got whacked a while ago.

At the moment, there are two survivors in this corner, but there are lots more in the southwest.

**master of ordinance**

Ive smashed the barricades in the north east corner. We can still do this.

**Dark Apostle 666**

So we might try and take/hold a section of the mall? sounds mildly suicidal... I like it!

At the very least, it'll be a glorious banzai charge against the enemy forces, and if we do succeed in ruining a section...

Well, it sounds like a win/win situation to me

Need a door opener at NE mitchem ASAP!
There's 11 Zed-heads waiting outside, and the barricades are down - so if someone can open this thing up, we might even stand a chance of taking the place...

**notprop**

I do need a hat to go with my .38 hat pin so I'll wander up to the mall to have a mooch about.

If I manage to snag a side order of brainz while I'm shopping then that's a bonus!

**Dark Apostle 666**

Ok, in NW mitchem, Hunter is down to 24 hp, and I'm in meatshield mode -

Now, brother zombies, eat hearty! for tonight, the humans dine in hell!

**Just Dave**

Gennie destroyed and NE ruined. If anyone in Corless or the NW corner could come jump in the NE corner instead, to prevent them retaking, that'd be grand.

Already - with plenty more levels for you guys to go up - the Nurgling's have Vinetown on the ropes.

**notprop**

I got your back bro!

I just laid into Hunter big time and in characteristic notpopped style took him down to 22hp with one mighty hit from 15AP!

I hate NW Mitchem Mall, my luck is awful here and there is no fething hat store!

Yeah, once more people have flesh rot and higher levels etc., then it will be much easier to hold the ground. I've always been a fan of the "meatshield-hold-your-ground-take-it-like-a-boss" strategy, where we do stay put as you suggest (hence my 200 deaths).
But with the so many needles flying about, low levels, and being stuck outside, rather than inside Mitchem, I can kinda understand people wanting to run too. At the moment we're predominantly using hit and run attacks to build up peoples xp, rather than the classic zombie hit-and-hold strategy. But I'm definitely up for either.

As for the strike time, its difficult, cause there's a lot of Brits and Yanks, so it varies, but usually around 4gmt I suspect.

But indeed, as JB said, welcome aboard! Is your horde also 40K themed?

Also, just be aware Polaria, but the Vinetown harmans have found us on this forum before, so its not entirely confidential per se...

**polaria**

They can keep spying on us but their tragedy is that their numbers are low and most are XP capped, while our numbers and levels are growing all the time... The time is on our side

I've noticed the best weapon humans have against low level zombies is the needle, but we have the cure: Brain Rot takes care of those needle wielding maniacs for good.

And yes, Tyrant's Legion is mildly 40k themed as we are coming from New Badab forums...nudge, nudge, hint, hint.

Exactly. Many of the Nurgling's are low levels at the moment, but we're getting more and more powerful with each day, and it can really tell. What kinda situation is the Tyrant's Legion in?

Yup. Definitely, and then they're just burning ammunition and you're standing up for a max cost of 6ap. Although it takes a few levels to get brain rot and the powerful claw attacks, but everything is so much rosier when you have brain rot.

Nice. I'm afraid I'm not joining other forum's until I've finished my work - procrastination ye see - which is the same reason I've not joined B&C too yet, but I'm sure someone (maybe JB?) will head over for us.

**Beast Warrior**

Someone wanna help me with hunter, for now I got 5AP at the moment. Hunter is on 18HP now come my brothers bring this flesh sack down and feast

**Steve steveson**

Where are you and whats his name?

**Beast Warrior**

Mitchem Mall NW section and his name is Hunter5988

**Jihadin**

I'm in SW corner of Mitchem Mall....KarlHein is down to 42 HP....thats right.....BACK IN THE FIGHT........

**Just Dave**

Looks like someone's killed Hunter.

Can you guys jump into the NE corner with your last AP please: we need as many guys as we can in this corner to keep it open for reinforcements.

**Jihadin**

um.....sure.....give me a bit...I'm in a room full of humans and zero AP.....

**Just Dave**

No problem man, thanks.

**DA's Forever**

I'll jump over from NW too when I have another AP

**Steve steveson**

Now he is down to 20 and I'm out of AP... Take that breather down!

I jumped back to the NE corner. There dosn't seem to be many of them left.

JB

I joined the fray and killed Karl Heins. I also ransacked and ruined the NW corner before falling back to the NE corner.

If anyone else is coming to Mitchem Mall, the doors in the NE corner are open. It might also be worthwhile to break down the barricades and open the doors in the NW corner. Since I ruined that corner, the humans will not be able to rebarricade as long as one of us is still standing there.

You guys are getting to be lethal.

Just Dave, I agree that we are a threat to Vinetown but I still think the humans have the upper hand. We still need more veteran zombies...enough to drive the humans out of most of the resource buildings and ruin them.

Excellent point, polaria! Time is on our side.

I am adding you to the contact list. Is there anyone else that I should add from Tyrant's Legion?

**master of ordinance**

Just hit and ran on sargant pepper spray. Knocked him down to 56/54 HP and fallen back to the North East corner.

Good! He is the only survivor in that corner so it would be nice to kill him and the ransack/ruin that portion of the Mall.

**notprop**

I think I made another booboo.

I got over excited and attacked the southeast corner on my own (hey it was only one survivor the odds must have been in my favour this time right). Naturally my first blow landed but the following 7 haymakers didn't land.

I'll be retreating in the next hour, but man this game is easier when you have 11 shotguns tucked into your pants!

**Steve steveson**

Na, keeps Sgt Pepperspray in there until someone else can come along.

If we can get that there looks to be only 4 survivors in the SW part... The mall is almost ours! Bwahahahahahahaha!

**notprop**

Is it too early to suggest a "all your comestible good are mine" meme to be sprayed on all mall walls?

I bit Sgt Pepperspray down to 30 HP. The SW corner has 4 humans yet to be chewed on.

Let's not hang up a Mission Complete sign yet.

The humans have to defend the Mall. It is one of the most vital resource centers in this area, not just in Vinetown.

We haven't seen them all yet. Most notably, I haven't seen most of the humans we hate most from Shyar Cinema, other than KarlHeins.

Keep on clawing! Get that XP and build some skills. The fight has only begun!

EDIT: Human radio report from one of the police departments southwest of us.

26.34 MHz: "Break at Caunt PD; survivor; 2 Zeds; Please help."

I don't think he will get much help. Most of the humans will be coming our way instead.

Also SGT Pepperspray appears to have fled. I am currently ransacking the SE corner of the Mall.

**kronk**

I got Mcginnis in the SW corner down to ~30 hit points and I'm up to 99 XP. Out of AP. Standing in the NE corner with you guys.
