5. Building 58
Importance: Low
Difficult to defend, as situated in
the centre of campus, and is very
isolated with few places to source
supplies in the surrounding area.
As such would not be worth
wasting scarce resources
attempting to defend. Although
vehicles nearby would be useful for
travelling to next location.
6. Watts Park
Importance: Low
We chose not to defend the park
because it offers no protection and
is a very large open area and would
be easily surrounded.
However, it is situated in the centre
of town so supplies would be easily
obtained but offers no protection so
we chose not to defend this place.
7. Southampton Civic
Centre
Importance: Medium
The building could be defended
easily as it has strong big thick
walls, there are supplies and shops
nearby.
However, as the building is so big
it would be very difficult to defend
it and as the apocalypse is only 14
days long we would be more
suitable to choose to defend
another location instead.
8. West Quay
Importance: Medium
West Quay is rich in supplies and
offers some protection from the
zombies. This would be a good
alternative place to hold up from
the zombies if The Hobbit becomes
compromised.
9. Portswood
Importance: Medium/high
Portswood is very rich in supplies
which would be vital in order for
us to weather the zombie storm
until it passes in 14 days time.
However, we would not defend
Portswood as it is too big and open.
Instead we would go here and get
our supplies needed using the
fireworks to distract the zombies to
allow for safe travel.
The fireworks can be obtained from
a firework shop where they are in
vast supply.
10. The Hobbit
Importance: Very High
The Hobbit would be the ideal
place to hide from the zombies for
the 14 days until the zombie threat
is over.
It is the ideal place because it has
food and drink already there. It is
in Portswood so gathering our
supplies is relatively safe. It is small
enough to easily protect and has a
big strong door.
It has CCTV, so we can monitor the
situation outside without risking
our own safety.
