| Aug 1, 2018 at 15:29 | comment | added | Mike | @theGarz I see where you are coming from. I was interpreting a bit loosely. My thought is that if you already have it or know of someone who does that is close (within the 20km) then finding it would be easy, you know where it is. But I understand you are asking what to find that is readily available and this isn't unless you know where one is or get incredibly lucky. I was basing my assumption on the 3rd bullet that I must convince the others that this is the right vehicle, but that it is perhaps at the edge of the 20km in a garage or something. | |
| Aug 1, 2018 at 12:13 | comment | added | theGarz | @Mike: in the point that specifies "EU average city" as starting location, and in the one that specifies the 7 days of remaining supply (and 20km range), is written that the party must FIND the vehicle. | |
| Aug 1, 2018 at 11:41 | comment | added | Mike | @theGarz I don't know anyone with a Marauder, that being said nowhere in your description does it say that you don't already have access to whatever vehicle you are looking to use. Perhaps I have just purchased it or know of someone close who did(and took receipt of it too). Your question just says to convince the others in the group that this is the perfect vehicle to go 1500km. The Marauder would only have to be filled up twice and can probably take the main roads as it could drive over most anything in its way. I do agree that it would otherwise be prohibitively expensive and rare. | |

| Jul 31, 2018 at 9:50 | comment | added | theGarz | @Mike: i know the Marauder but it's so expensive and limited in production that i guess that it would be rarer than military vehicles! How many Marauder owners do you know? You have food for 7 days, would you really spend them walking searching a Marauder? | |
| Jul 31, 2018 at 4:47 | comment | added | Mike | What about a Marauder from Paramount Group. It is mostly military, but they can be found in civilian homes as well. It is bulletproof, even bomb proof. Carries 2 operators and 8 passengers, goes 700km on a tank of gas, traveling between 100-120 km/h. It was showcased on the show Top Gear in a 2 part special. (I've seen only parts of it) | |

| Jul 26, 2018 at 17:03 | comment | added | NationWidePants | @Philipp it was specified "no water", but not "no air", that coupled with the fact he's trying to go far, not inflict massive damage on zombies in the way. I'd say the question is different enough to require a separate question. | |
| Jul 26, 2018 at 16:53 | comment | added | NationWidePants | what about a dirigible? They seem fuel efficient and can go long distances without zombie issues. Land on top of buildings, resupply, and carry on (this assumes a highly modified dirigible, but, it's an idea no one else has had). | |

| Jul 26, 2018 at 8:22 | comment | added | theGarz | @Epicedion (and probably Harper): we already discussed the "weapons spread" topic but it was moved to chat, and i don't really want to discuss further. Anyway, to me these comments are both funny and worrying. Funny: because someone always says that there aren't "a lot" of weapon in US despite the fact that the weapons/person rate in US is the world highest by huge lead (and Canada is not that far). Not to mention the available weapon type. Worrying: because i didn't write that "N.A. civilians have HMG or RPG", but your "straw tail" comment make me think that this hypotesis isn't that absurd. | |

| Jul 25, 2018 at 20:30 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | @Epicedion Exactly, because we all have all that stuff. M249s and RPGs is pretty much the minimum loadout for a pacifist anti-gun American. | |

| Jul 25, 2018 at 17:38 | comment | added | anon | For what it's worth, you can freely ignore the presence of HMGs and rocket launchers in America, too. They don't exist outside of military bases, if even there (and at that point, Europe has quite a few military bases as well). However, if you're looking to limit yourself to hunting rifles and pistols, you might actually like North America -- specifically, Canada! It'd certainly be worth looking into their gun laws, at least. | |

| Jul 24, 2018 at 15:00 | comment | added | Ludi | 98% of the people are dead and 80% undead, needs clarifying. Are 80% of 2% undead or are the undead counted among the dead? | |
