Protection or Expansion

[Scythe13]

Okay, here's the scene:

There's been huge explosions in the city, buildings ruined, people killed, it's like Dresden in WW2. All the cities have been attacked in WW3 (which here on in must be refered to as WW£ because it'll be all about money). The food supply is strained, but you are safe with your friends in your culdesac, compund, street, or however.

Maybe your friends and family banded together in the street you live in, blocked off the ends by parking cars there, so that nobody could get in. The walls are all high and strong, and all the fences have barbed wire keeping them safe and secure.

Everyone in you street has banded together to protect the weaker older generation, but again, the walls are strong, fences secure, etc.

Over half the population of the cities were killed in the bombings.

The area is down to martial law.

You have enough water for 6 months by skillfully rationing it. Enough food for 5 months.

2 months have passed since the fighting stopped. You've not heard much commotion in the area.

Nobody is unwell or injured in your group.

What do you do next? Do you expand the fences, make the area more secure? Do you protect your area longer? Do you hope that the government will come and save you all? Do you seperate the group and set up another camp with the hope to attract other survivors to rebuild society/the area?
