Ruins of Detroit
With Operation Taconite making the news thanks to the extremely cold weather, some interesting locations have shown up in the news. One in particular is Zug Island, just south of Detroit.
It is an artificial island, created when a channel was dug to make navigation easier. It is interesting from a game perspective because of its use. It is extremely industrialized, being used for converting iron ore to iron and early on also for manufacturing steel. The island is closed to the public with limited access and no photography is allowed. There are massive walls that block the view from land. It is still used for iron production today and also has a large coke battery that is operated the electrical utility, DTE. With all the secrecy around Zug Island, the fact that it has a large amount of sea and rail traffic to this day, and that 4th edition nukes in the area are air burst and the island is only in the 5-10 PSI overpressure area, it would make a fine location for some sort of underground logistical base, either manned or automated like Delta Base. Just a starter idea if anyone is looking to make an adventure in the Ruins of Detroit.

How about Zug Island as the site of the secondary command base?

Just reading up on the island and its security had me thinking a nice location for a Project base.

Detroit and area.
The largest issue is with the active mining the risk of the base being found. Also remember selfrige ang base has a norad commitment f15 I think now use to be f4s old sac base. Isl royal a better command base. With the freeze time in winter under water base has issues too. Better off at fermi nuke plant build a 4 th reactor and have it run out of funding. Put sternman type of supply there, and medical support wear house supply . Plus but remember nuke plants are type 1 targets, so maby an automated abc laser might help, would look like it came from selfrige. Think a tug or two plus barges would be good based in area, to help with relief, plus supply movement.

Isle Royale has been mentioned many times as a base. It's possible, paying off or becoming the parks service responsible for the island as ways to get a base built.
Selfridge ANGB gets hit with 2 surface burst warheads. It is unlikely anything useful survives the war there. The nuclear power plant is a good idea, though you need to look at decommissioned ones for survivability. Like the old Big Rock power plant that was successfully decommissioned and was dismantled in 1997. The site is now a park, though with all the trucks coming and going to moving low levels radioactive material to a storage facility, it would not be hard to move in some Project materiel. Once decommissioned, a power plant is not a target so it should survive quite well.
