if the climate isn't hot enough, corn isn't really an option, also if we don't have enough rain corn would be tough. if so, we'd do barley instead
also, small scale vegetable gardening is really easy, and we could possibly even get some small hothouses going if we could scavenge from plastic sheeting from the ship.

Should you disagree, I'll remind you that we have firearms. Many of them.
With the onset of the zombie hordes bearing down upon your settlement of Robo Town, we'd assumed fallback positions at New Sparta.
However, as a gesture of goodwill, we've set up sniper positions at Outpost: Operator directly across the riverside to the north of your positions. If the defense of your location fails, retreat toward Operator and sniper cover will be provided.

Durable but soft. And pretty damn /fa/. >3) Ceremonial Scarf: This ceremonial woll scarf marks this particular legionnaire as an officer in the Hispter Brigade. While scarves are issued to all legionnaires, rank and file members only have access to the monochromatic brown variety. >4) Standard-Issue Peacoat: Durable black wool, long sleeves, and stylish buttons defend every Hipster from the menace of Zombie bite wounds. >5) Grey knit skinny tie: Another sign of rank, the knit tie signifies this particular Hipster as a veteran of the Battle of Mootkins. The Grey colour is a further honourific, showing the bearer to have participated the flanking action that routed the final group of the Enemy. >6) Tower Shield: Standard Issue for all members of the Robotown Legions, the Tower Shield protects the Legionnaire from shoulder to knee. Note the /fa/Company designation on the front. >7) Hair: Stylish yet functional, the HipsterJungend haircut with early-19th century retro sideburns is typical among the members of /fa/Company. >8) Jeans: Last but not least, a pair of skinny dark Levis.

Anyways, just so we're all in agreement let me sort out everything we've discussed here.
Former Marine Scout Sniper
>>3554923 Training is over, we now have on our hands a fully trained platoon of soldiers. We have chosen to wear a pair of cammo pants and a plain green jacket with the word "1st Recon" written on it. We have now started our hike to the north to aid New Sparta.
Shortly after reaching the battle lines of New Sparta I noticed that there was no specific command structure so I gathered the /k/ommandos and explained that I come on behalf of Robotown with my 30 men in order to ward off the hostile infected.
Fighting soon erupted after that, there was no time for the /k/ommandos to disapprove of my interference. I personally think that they were glad we showed up.

Former Marine Scout Sniper
Quoted By:
>>3555029 The fighting has died out for the night, thank god. The day was very intense and much ammo was conserved, during training I stressed munition conservation the most. We are very limited in supplies but the zombie threat seems to be taking a turn for the better, I can't help but wonder how these /k/ommandos have been able to hold their own out here. Bodies everywhere, the stench of decaying flesh fills the air. This is hell.
On a lighter note no one was harmed today but I did notice 3 of my grenades went missing.
Shit I just heard several explosions from afar!
What the?! Who the fuck is Chicago Ted? Everyone keeps yelling out that name, is he the leader?

>>3554959 Thank you for you kindness.
If there are no objections, I would like to build a carpentry shop in the location in red. the proximity to the harbour would allow me to attempt to build boats should we need any.
also, I noticed a stand of vines outside of the town. If dried, I believe they could be combined with pine resin to serve as caulking, allowing us to fully waterproof our homes.
given a week for the drying of vines and collecting of sap, and the presence of wood, I should be able to waterproof the community in two month's time, assuming no more urgent task is given to me.

Former Marine Scout Sniper
>>3554960 I have now officially established a camp next to the New Spartan frontlines, I have placed 5 of my 30 as commanders. They will remain autonomous when I am not present.
I am now at the village, I arrive riding my horse and make way for the town center. I need to speak with the council, I believe we need to establish an armory and begin crafting weapons and munitions as soon as possible.

>>3555134 If I may ask, does your city have deposits of metal ore surrounding it? I noticed your city is in a mountainous region and would like to know.

Quoted By:
>>3555163 No.
We can salvage though, but we're lightyears away from any kind of heavy industry. Basically, we're at a united ancient greek level, back when the major city states were still fairly small and agrarian.
Leader of Peprel !!xspOSW1u5
>>3555069 There are many explored and unexplored caves. Some contain copper, tin, and iron. We have no way to smelt them though, much less the knowledge of how to make weapons.
Recon !CTcbCl7NQ2
>>3555160 oh what the fuck is this shit? I thought we were just worrying about zombies.
Damn it, it's a long shot, but maybe the village out in the delta may offer some help. How long do you guys speculate that the mutants will be upon us? It'll take me at least two days to reach the village, and another two to make it back with whatever I find.
Former Marine Scout Sniper
Quoted By:
>>3555160 Holy crap! Invaders! I recall the 1st Recon as fast as possible and have them begin digging trenches along our lines, we have placed our last claymores in key spots and I have handed out emergency grenades to my comrades. This is a fight we shall win! and once we win we will loot all of their weapons!
eric the carpenter
Quoted By:
>>3555122 Before I leave for rest, I must tell you that I have some, though little, experience in masonary. Unless we find someone with this experience, building a forge from scratch would be almost impossible; however...
I came from a small logging community near a fork in the river to the southwest. As it is so isolated, a small forge was built in order to repair the axes and such. If we were to salvage from it what we could- the forge ITSELF at least-
the construction time would be shortened considerably. there are a few zombies in and around the location, but nothing a few armed men cannot handle. We would need only locate a source of copper, and we would be good to go.
Former Marine Scout Sniper
>>3555201 Hmm the extraction of ore will have to wait, Robotown is getting surrounded by mutants! If at all possible we could use some help.
>>3555206 I speculate that they will arrive in 3 days time, considering how they are armored and clumsy and walking on sand.
I recommend you try and find help as soon as possible, my 1st Recon force has been entrenching themselves and setting up boobytraps and pits all over our defenses, hopefully we can kill the mutants and salvage their gear as I mentioned earlier.
For now I remain confident, these clumsy monstrosities will lose to our combined might.
Leader of Peprel !!xspOSW1u5
I request that my militia that I sent to train with you to aid you in your defense. That should be 50 men that will fight along side you.
Roboville Chronicler !!ZppMeLpe+
>>3555112 Eric the carpenter I nominate you as City Planner, make this the shining beacon of civilization in a ruined world!
>>3555206 Do what you can my trusty hermes
>>3555201 Peprel, we may need more of your men, any combat training or hell anyone you can spare with any weapons. We would be in your debt!
Great /k/ommandos, if the zombie problem is not too great, please spare us a few of your operators and the beautiful ammunition you have in abundance.
Everyone else, citizens of Robotown! invaders threaten our shores, our homes and our lives that we have made on this bleak landscape. You all know what's at stake should we lose, we all have our roles now get to them, ROBOT 9000 FOREVER!
And with that I'm off
Recon !CTcbCl7NQ2
>>3555244 Good news, and I shall make haste then. It's a bit of a stretch, but I think I'd be able to make it to the village in a day and a half both ways.
Hope I find something worthwhile....

>>3555253 I will send 25 more men that are untrained but have sword and shield. I would send more but we have no militia. I will also send meat for 200 men and 40 sheep with them, that you can kill later if the battle progresses that long.

Former Marine Scout Sniper
>>3555251 The 50 men you sent are currently helping my 1st Recon soldiers, although there are not enough rifles for them they are wielding spears and shields. Their help is greatly appreciated in the fortification of Robotown.
>>3555261 Godspeed soldier!
I have talked to the fishermen and asked them to infiltrate the enemies' rafts and ships and to bring them back to our port ASAP if we strand the enemy on land then we can make this into a war of attrition. Also the mutant's vessels might contain extra weapons or greatly needed munitions.
Leader of Peprel !!xspOSW1u5
>>3555277 I am unskilled in the ways of war, my militia is under your command for the duration of this battle.
eric the carpenter/cityplanner
thank you, I shall do my best to improve the lives of all those within our walls.
Former Marine Scout Sniper
Quoted By:
>>3555277 I have taken this as an option, but they will be dealt with by my marksmen on our own grounds, which is why I had them entrench themselves and set up traps in the forest. That would avoid any accidents since we lack radio communication venturing in the forest would be suicide at this point.
>>3555324 I will gladly have your extra men help fortify and supply our militia thank you kind sir.
My Recon soldiers will be in forward positions all along our defenses, if they shall fall, I will leave it up to the /fa/ brigade to maintain the lines. This battle will be tough but if we time our claymores and grenades right we might cut down their size tremendously.
Former Marine Scout Sniper
>>3555363 I have sent groups of men to do just that, we currently have no active defense minister so I took it upon myself to order them to seize the enemy vessels and return as fast as possible, I estimate that by the time they return we would already be engaged.
My forward scouts have spotted groups of the savage mutants to our south, they seem to be using no real strategy. I have advised my scouts to snipe them from afar to reduce their numbers before they reach the traps.

>>3555438 My real concern is the motorized mutants, how in the hell did they get vehicles, and gasoline on top of that? These mutants have to be smarter than they appear... The savages seem dumb and useless but the motorized ones are moving in formation, I hope my forward scouts can hold the line once contact is made. I suggest that the /fa/ brigade and our militia should stay near our center wall in case we are overrun.
Contact with the motorized and main force of mutants is expected to be in one more day.

Dear people of Robotown! What a blessing I've stumbled upon your settlement! I was part of a rag-tag group of survivors of the zombie appocolipse, but now I am the only one of my party that remains. If you could but give me some food, for I have been hungry for so long, I'm sure that I could make myself useful here...

Who's in charge of resource gathering here? Yes, ok, listen. As I journeyed here from abandoned cities to the East, I noted a large cliff rich in saltpeter not a couple miles to the north-east. You need to establish a mining site there to extract the saltpeter from the cliffs. We take that saltpeter, mix it from the sulfer we extract from the urine as well as some of your towns supply of charcoal...

Greetings council! I have returned from my trip to the delta village. It appears that the area, known by it's residents as New Forks, is inhabited primarily with 15-19 year old women who seem to be obsessed with some book involving vampires and apples. Anyways, they seem to spend so much time discussing their books that they're resource management is even more primitive than ours. I've discussed about them joining our village which they've politely refused, but they have agreed to opening up a trade agreement of our vast resources for their *ahem* services. They're a bit annoying, but they appear suitable.
Recon !CTcbCl7NQ2
>>3559042 ah, it appears this good man has also brought along some other sources to occupy our men. You're wares will help greatly in occupying our men in times where travel between Roboville and New Forks become difficult.
and anyways, I don't believe I've brought enough villagers with me to satisfy everyone, so your presence is definitely welcome.
