Re: Fear the Walking Dead Season 2

I was not a huge fan of the first season. I felt like it didn't give you characters that you could actually like. This season started off strong on the first episode. I still haven't seen the second, but after reading this I am excited.

Re: Impenetrable Wall of Force

The excessive cost might actually be worth it in an attack. If you were to use this offensively during large group combat you could cut off half of the attacking forces and butcher the first half. In that case the high PPE cost would mean you would want to drop it as fast as you could.

The problem is that junk yard parts would likely have more wear and tear than factory parts and in addition you are not likely to be able to get bullet proof material.
