Many Empires were not much more than codefied tribute systems.<br /><br />If you are strong enough to inflict heavy casualties on the bikers, than some form of negotiation might be worthwhile. But they would make for some very dangerous neighbors. So long as it is a scenario where they still have a little fuel, there big advantage, when combined with radios, is that if they have 500 members scattered about scrounging resources, they can reinforce a threatened/opportunity area quickly. The motorcycles themselves strike me as rather fragile combat vehicles.<br /><br />Stratigizing in a vacume, but it seems that the best bet would be to retreat into areas where they can only follow on foot. Then they are limited to their walk-in fire power, and loose their ability for a fast retreat.russell1200https://www.blogger.com/profile/16258915475311426433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216751897705338056.post-22107203929489582922012-06-10T00:13:39.182-04:002012-06-10T00:13:39.182-04:00So if the book is a reasonable approximation of bi...So if the book is a reasonable approximation of biker gangs' actions in a EOTWAWKI world, what would be the proper action taken by a tribe/group/etc who spots a biker gang approaching their den? Tribute like the Mau Mau? <br /><br />Thinking about revising my dislikes about Valhalla, the actions of the various characters and the whole tribute paying to the Mau Mau. <br /><br />Our DNA screams for survival. People will be people. I really can't blame them. <br /><br />GKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
