are we talking old school, limping, shuffling, moaning, slow-motion zombies, as in the Romero classics (or Shawn of the Dead,
or the current crop of undead sprinters (28 Days Later, Zombieland) screaming and vomiting blood, as seems to be the current fashion?
initial food supply/headquarters: warehouse style store (Sam's Club, CostCo) Walmart is also a good choice, as they stock firearms and ammunition
if the invasion continues - relocation to rural or wooded area with access to water and arable land
high vantage point a major plus
in addition to weaponry, Walmart also carries seeds for gardening and equipment to reload spent cartridges
(i'm actually not such a fan of Walmart, but, hey, bloody ZOMBIES, man!)
vehicle(s) of choice: Humvee, Peterbilt 18-wheel Semi with trailer (for evac to remote base camp)
weapons of choice:
long-range: M24 7.62mm Sniper Rifle (modified Remington 700)
mid-range: Mosberg 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun
short-range: Sig Sauer .40 cal pistol (hollow point ammunition)
hand-to-hand: ninja to - japanese/samurai type sword, but with a straight blade, shortened for better close-quarters combat
truthfully, this was fun, but the dead coming back to feast on the flesh of the living is far less disturbing to me than the living that thrive on the
efforts of others, draining the life from the common, leaving disaster in their wake
happy apocalypse!
