The Colony reality TV show

This isn't new - it has been around since 2009, but I only just remembered it, and discovered there was a second season of the show.

 Made by the Discovery channel in the U.S. I have yet to see it on TV here in Australia, but I don't have pay TV, so it may have been on.

 It places people in a 'post apocalyptic' setting to see how people learn to survive.

 This show is great for ideas for setting up a group of survivors and seeing what type of things they need to survive.

For those that haven't seen it, here is a link to both seasons that allow you to watch it online for free (yay!)

There are some fairly tense moments in the show, and it gets you thinking "what would I do in this situation".

Anyway, while not a post on zombie wargaming, it is, in my mind, a great show to watch to give you ideas for zombie wargames.

EDIT:
 I have just watched Episode 7 of season two "Tick" - very interesting. Highly trained military types would certainly be worth a lot when it comes to day to day survival.

These 'watch online' sites can be tricky as they are full of advertising and pop ups - megavideo is one of the better links to try per episode, but they only let you watch 72 mins per day for free.

It was a matter of trial and error to find what to click on to watch the shows. Close pop ups as soon as they show up and look for small 'play' buttons and arrows.

I hope this helps some.
