Goddammit stop bunching.
That said, calling in air strikes is always good. Just remember to stay IN the base while I'm in the air and only call things in if there's a wall breach.

Course, he isn't allowed to use his issued ammo (which for some reason doesn't even amount to a full magazine), but he could have purchased more ammo and use that.

Apparently they have phased this out now, so not so much any more. They do have shelters they can hide in though, which is nice.
When it comes to Zombocalypse, I am basically screwed. I mean, Ireland has even fewer guns than Britain now (why did our paramilitary groups have to give up?) and I live right in the city centre. The house I live in is fairly solid and has a big metal door and grilles on the window, but still, that's not much help. I guess if I was in college I could possibly go down to the rifle club and load up on a few .22s, but bolt action rifles are basically not the best idea ever.
There is basically no plan that ends up in me getting out of this one alive. Holing up is probably my best idea.

Using shield-wall tactics It would be possible to engage 10 times as many zombies as you had men in close combat and not even begin to worry. Chuck in a bit of modern spice to the skills and tactics we use, and we would be sorted.

And how many blows would it take to incapacitate a zombie with a small headed axe? And with so many hits, it is very likely that you get the axe stuck eventually. A good broad short bladed weapon would be better in my opinion. Even so, doesn't a sheild wall rely on mostly thrusting attacks from the participants? You will break formation to make good chopping swings.

And I wasn't even aware that Vikings practiced Shield Wall techniques, I thought that was the Romans/Greeks. Barbarians like the Vikings relied on sheer ferocity in combat didn't they? And vikings themselves remained raiders, quick in, quick out. Hardly steady line material.
KharBevNor:
I'm sorry to be a dick, man, but I think I know perhaps a little more* about the military tactics of the dark ages than you do.
@LordNagash: it would take me about as many blows as it would take me to kill you: one.
I mean, it's not like zombies have a supernatural strength. They also don't stand properly. Pretty easy prospect for hand to hand combat, man.
*and by this I mean a lot more.
