Man your favorite defense base! Remove this text

This poll was inspired by Pekka's thread Just to be PC about it

Assume the attacking force is made of an infinite number of medieval infantry, pumpkin chunkin' pneumatic canons, infested terrans who explode on contact, and professional snipers; which base would you rather defend based on either how long you will last or how much fun it would be?

Edit: title fixed

I'd defend Helm's Deep. The Death Star comes close, but its more of an attacking thing, and security's dreadful.

I really expected this thread to be about sexual positions- my mind is in the gutter- I know.

But then I saw it wasn't locked so I knew it wasn't about sexual positions.

no f---ing brainer on this one.

We all know how vulnerable deathstar can be to one wimpass jedi.

Helms Deep: whack. Well maybe thats cause I never liked LoTR personally. besides wasnt the place gonna be overrun by bunch of orcs after the whole friggin wall was blown apart?

An immobile nuclear submarine : immobile? WHACK!

The Alamo : We all know how well that turned out (evry f---in ppl in there died!)

Bran Castle in Transylvania aka Castle Dracula: Too goth.

Zion: Overrun! 6 times! Whack I say WHACK! X 5


Now starcraft bunker... thats the shiet. And plus the missle turret, ohoho boy. Professional snipers will become easily visible under the missle turrets invisible detection ability.

If you made this option a one big muthaf* nuke, SC bunker would be even more appealing. No other option will protect you should the defense sys fail. You'll die with the system. But under the SC rule, anything inside bunker will not die and unload unscathed should bunker get destroyed.

The most obvious answer is that thingy under the mountain in Colorado. Is that Cheyenne Mountain? I can't think of the name of that place for some reason. Norrad?

Cheyenne Mountain is clearly the best one. If you do get beaten, you can escape through the Stargate and live to fight another day. Duh.
