The Town of Juhlinburg

[Cdnwolf]

Taking off on the idea posted in the Fanzine thread, I found an ideal town that if we want to run with the idea we can do up ...

I choose the town of Laslin, Poland because of its small size and its location on the route characters might take from Warsaw heading either north to Gdansk or west as part of the Going Home module. It is located next to a lake with one bridge crossing that lake and lots of wooded lands.

In the T2000 world that is pretty close to where the US units were that got cut off after the last offensive. Is this a 2013 scenario or 2000?

Nice place!

What about a more polish-ending name, taking Juhlin as a root?

• Juhlinów
• Juhlinowo
• Juhlinowice
• Juhlinowiczki
• Juhlinowe
• Juhlinowa
• Juhlinowskie
• Juhlinowiec
• Juhlinowiany
• Juhlinowizna
• Juhlinowszczyzna
• Juhlinowska Wola
• Juhlinowska Kolonia
• Juhlinówek
• Juhlinówka
• Juhlinowa Góra

It will not be a credible Polish village if we were able to spell it without problems.

Okay, this is not a poll, BUT if it was, my choice for best suited name would be:

Juhlinowice

Second choice:

Juhlinowszczyzna (As in: "That little spot on the map with a real unspeakable name."

You're so right here, Marc

So, now we have the nice little town of Juhlinowice. What is the status?

Based on location, I would say bombed within an inch of its' life. 50-100 people living in whatever rubble they can form into a coherent structure to keep them out of the rain.

Farming community, some subsistance farming still occuring. Mostly human powered plows. MAYBE a couple of horses to plow community field. Some chickens, a couple of pigs would not be an unusual addition.

One iron worker is not out of the question.

VERY small (5-20) semi organized ORMO type self defense. A couple of shotguns, a hunting rifle or two, bows and arrows, etc.

Government, such as it is, would be a council of elders. The council would try to insure that everyone got a fair share of the crops.

Trade would be VERY sporadic. IF there is any surplus food in the community, it could be traded for ammo, medicine, etc.

I am sure you will flesh these ideas out. Just something off of the top of my head this morning to greet our band of survivors from 5th ID.
