What do you think is happening around the world in We're Alive?

i totally agree. I think thats why I think it would be possible.

as far as the east coast goes, i wonder how Paris island, SC and Fort Bragg, NC would be holding up? You would think that with so many bases and all out forts on the east coast, and in the south, that things might be slightly better.

What about Virginia Beach with 5 SEAL teams and people like me with 12,760 Rounds of ammo (That's not a made up number; I just pulled up my inventory sheet to double check the number). Along with that there are 13 military installations in the Hampton Roads area.

We have several nuke subs and carrier fleets out to sea

It would take a super smart one with good logistics to get to and into Area51

There are thousands of small towns. Even in these people will have hunting camps even more remote. People from cities do not comprehend how sparse the nation really is. And I do not get cities 8). When I looked at the map the colony is basically what I would call south LA. Listening to the pod casts I felt it was lie down in San Diego. The whole story has taken place in what a few hundred square miles? Me, I am more than 300 miles north of NYC. I do not know how many 15 floor towers there are in LA. But I imagine that place lit up like Xmas tree could be seen for miles and miles on a moonless night

How effective would bases designed to keep humans out be against zombies, especially if they had a Behemoth and a jumper or two? If the military is out there its probably still hiding away, not risking lives trying to find survivors that might not exist. And who's to say that the chain of command would stay in tact? It hasn't in Angels unit.

If they hit New Zealand, it is likely only in the North Island, so I reckon I would be ok. On the flip side though, we have few guns, and other weapons around would be very basic. Our military is pretty basic and mainly goes on peace keeping duty, so they probably wouldn't be much help.
We are a pretty DIY nation, so building up protections as a group of survivors would be ok, and it doesn't take long to get out of the city and into the bush.
Probably a few other countries or areas around that are similar.

I wonder, Afghanistan? I might have said this before, I'm not sure but seriously, the Taliban are armed, already have cave systems that they are familiar with defending and are experienced surviving in their surroundings. Might this apply for UN/British/American troops out there?

Mike and crew weren't "stationed" at a real base/post. It's only a building basically. If it was an active reserve or active duty installation, there would be troops there 24/7 and have base security. They had a place to "Muster" and that's about it.

I was referring to chain of command when I talked about Angels unit. I wasn't under the impression that the base with the hummers was supposed to be their Diamondium fortress.

You have a point. At any given time you'd have thousands of Navy troops at sea, you'd have planes in the air on missions. Places like North Africa, Kenya, The "Stan or areas of China would practically be untouched. Hell, there are part of Montana that woudn't even know WTF was going on. LOL.

:L, Can you imagine the look on an Inuits face when some blackened, almost dead zombie crawls at him, very slowly, across the ice. followed by like twenty others. Although I'm not sure whether zombies can get frostbite?
