Didn’t Bo Gritz try something like this a while back? What happened to that? I wish them well and we seem to not have the luxury of lots of time, but I hope we can at least learn from mistakes made before, because we don’t have the luxury of making lots of them to learn from either.
I thought that F Troop became the BATFE.
There was never a Nazi Party invasion of Poland, perhaps you mean the German invasion?
Dang! That’s not too far south from where I live now. THIS could be interesting.
For some reason I feel like watching the movie “The Postman” tonight.
400 years ago that would have been great, but today with fighter jets , drones, helicopters, it wouldn’t have a prayer.
Back to the future....
Citadel will only work with an ‘Iron Dome’ battery to defend it against incoming U.S. guided missiles (EMP, etc.).
***A group of like-minded patriots, bound together by pride in American exceptionalism, plan on building an armed community to protect their liberty. ****
I see red warning flags all over this! Don’t let it turn out to be another ELOHIM CITY, OKLAHOMA.

There are a ton of problems with that design, the least of which is manufacturing near the corner, away from decent defense.
Well, that's the stuff I see after a little of my next-door neighbor's hooch. Purple spiders, too.
Dunno about Benewah county, though. Gorgeous country near St. Maries, and it's private enough - local saying is "In Benewah no one can hear you scream." I wasn't kidding about the moose above, or the wolves. I about smacked a moose on the highway there last evening. I was headed north, he was headed east. If we collide, I lose.
I agree. I don’t see this ending well.
At first I was like “well it’s not for me, but whatevs,” until I read the part about the big wall and keeping people out, now I think anybody who moves there is an idiot. This is like shooting your balls off to protest feminism.
Sounds like Waco II, doesn’t it?
Interesting, I was having similar thoughts, though not nearly as elaborate. At first glance, my only quibble is that there should be angled bastions instead of round towers for better visibility.
I don’t know of any city that has ever withstood a prolonged siege, but I can’t stress enough the importance of uninterruptable energy, water, and food supplies.
Another lesson to take from castle design is the concept of bottlenecks and layered defenses. In the event that the outer perimeter is breached (say by marauding Marxists), progress to the inner perimeter is only via bottlenecks that are subject to attack from all directions.
You are correct, there was do direct connection between the two, my bad, its like comparing Green Berets to the Military Police in some regards.
Only one exit that I can see.
