As I mentioned previously - I dont think a single large colony is the best idea , I've mentioned the 'wooden wheel' idea - a central hub with outlying prepper posts , harder to hit in one go , and easier to displace from , I'm not a great fan of a large number of survivors / preppers living together, near enough to help each other , yes , but not in one group.
At least not until after the S has well and truly HTF.
Size ? - Anything upwards of 40/50 people together WILL attract interest.
An armed force of 15 will over-run a group that size no problem if the right tactics are used , create shock and widespread confusion,and bobs your aunties brother.
Likewise a single large colony - it SHOUTS - 'attack here for useful goodies and supplies' , as time goes on it may be more viable , but within a year ? dont honestly know.
One thing worth thinking about - a single - well hidden sniper ,can command and dominate a very large area , and can pin down far superior forces very ,very easily.
