Underground Bunkers

[wolffhound79]

Anyone have any cool maps or ideas beyond Allegheny uprising for equipment you would find in one of these

Im trying to come up with an older 70s 80s style military storage bunker thats been used as a dumping ground.

One thing to really consider is closed military bases. Some were all but just padlocked and turned over to local authorities, but some of the outlying sites were left alone. Prime example is some of the Nike SAM sites, which still had functioning generators when the military left.

You might want to have a base in a fallout zone. By 2000, probably safe, but bet most avoid it like the plague.

I'm having a comprehension fail but if your PCs are in Europe you can use Second World War plans as these are perfectly functional designs, just cover exposed concrete with earth mounds and what you can have chain link or slat armour burster armour.

I have a copy of "Civil Defence in Poland" by the CIA, it should be available online as it's declassified but I can't post images out of it on here. However I have posted them over on the Facebook page if you'd like to get them there.

You also might look up the old SW Bell communication bunkers.

[Silent Hunter UK]

There's also the small ROC bunkers from the UK.

A now deceased friend told of COG sites from the 50's in the subways and sewers of NYC that were closed in the 90's, these had weapons and he helped secure them for wherever Thompsons, BARs, M1's(rifles and carbines) and M1911A1's go, likely the Alabama Arsenal storage. In the Twilight original V1-2.2, these would remain or be expanded like in Allegheny Uprising. I imagine similiar places all over the Eastern seaboard existed.

Not bunkers per se but many of the DEB installations utilized fairly extensive underground facilities with just a communications tower above ground. Also, bases usually had a collection of Tab-Vees which could easily be used for storage once the aircraft or transporter/erectors are gone.

Closer to home, I have two (2) sets of general plans for Bldg 500 and 501 at Offutt AFB, one circa 1960s (JPEGs) and the other circa mid-1990s (TIFs). If anyone is interested, PM me and Ill be happy to share.

Not a military bunker but what could be under that 'abandoned' house the group took shelter in...

Copy-paste fail left off the fact that 500 was HQ SAC and 501 was the SAC underground command center.

desert mariner that would cool to look over as Ive also been trying to bo a thing for a sac base and that would help.

I've been thinking about my experiences at McGuire AFB and New Orleans JRB.

McGuire was formally host to a F-106 ADC unit. Near the ammo storage area there were a number of badly overgrown munition storage igloos that were originally used to house AIM-4 missiles and Genie rockets. I never went in one, but they were mostly forgotten and completely intact. They were difficult to see even if you knew where to look. They really looked like small hills till you were about 30 meters away.

At New Orleans, the WWII era runway was mostly abandoned. It was nominally maintained to ensure it did not just decay away, but any care was minimal. I was told there were a few bunkers off to the sides in the wooded area on the periphery, but never went exploring.

Where geographically are looking to have this located

[wolffhound79]

i need one for new jersey and one in Louisiana.

[mpipes]

ok. The abandoned munition igloos are ideal I think at McGuire or New Orleans JRB. They were fairly large. Can easily hold a vehicle or two. Plans for early Cold War/WWII USAF munition bunkers should be on line

Camp Beauregard and Alexandria AFB would be a couple of other good places. A lot of Beauregard was abandoned from WWII days, and I played in one of those abandoned places as a teen. Very forgotten but could get there on a bike or 4 wheeler.

[Vespers War]

For New Jersey, there's Battery 223, an abandoned WW2 coast defense bunker at Cape May Point, along with two munitions bunkers at the southwest side of Sandy Hook. Last year, the town of Woolwich put a Nike missile site up for sale that covers 33 acres and has some very decrepit structures still on-site. Any of those could have ended up being used during the Twilight War to put things out of sight for later recovery.
