There's so much they COULD do. Like I said a few pages back, team prison needs to become a group of insurgents. They need to use force multipliers. But you have to remember that the prison is under constant watch by team woodbury.
They have a small window of time right now before the next meeting to setup some serious defenses. But it has to be done mostly inside the prison. They have the benefit of knowing the exact layout of the prison. And forcing a bunch of kids and old ladies to go inside a dark prison and fight in close quarters gives them an added advantage.
Woodbury, IMO, is not holding many cards. Only 2. More people, more supplies.
They'll advance on the prison, and all those inexperienced fighters will become a liability to themselves. They have less than 40 fighters. A certain amount of those people will turn and run as soon as they see one of their own bite it. That's guaranteed. Running into a gun battle is not a natural human response, running AWAY from danger is. So a conservative estimate of how many will run away would be 10-15 people.
Let's say 10.
So now we're at say 27 fighters.
Of that 27, how many of them will remain outside the prison while a smaller group of more confident and aggressive people will push in?
Then, how many of those people that remain outside will be overcome by walkers? TV rules here.
These are people that aren't proficient with their weapons also. They may have had a crash course with them, but they aren't anywhere near being proficient enough to deal with stove pipes and other malfunctions. They will also be sloppy and not very efficient when it comes to mag changes. We also know that team woodbury likes to waste ammo and use their weapons on full auto. How much ammo can they carry on their person? They'll likely go through it quick.
So if team woodbury is forced to pursue team prison back into the tombs, they are at an extreme disadvantage. Not only are there sporadic walkers throughout the tombs, but they're also being forced into a "fatal funnel" scenario. You'll have a group of inexperienced, inefficient fighters grouped up in tight quarters moving through the tombs. So as they're funneling through small hallways, a couple people from team prison positioned right at the end of these tight halls from a defensible position, and 2 people could easily take out 10 or more woodbury fighters.
That only has to happen once. And everyone else that's stuck in those halls will panic. They don't know where they're going, they don't know what's behind this door or that door. They'll fire off all there ammo in a panic.
None of woodbury's heavy artillery will do any good while they're fighting it out in the tombs. It will come down to individual fighters, the amount of ammo they have, whether they panic or not, and whether team prison has strategically positioned themselves throughout or not.
If team prison just sits there all scared and makes no preperations and waits for team woodbury to arrive, then it's a much different situation. In this weeks episode, Glenn and Carl were already stashing ammo around the prison, Glen was cutting out rifle perch's in the fence.
But as long as they force woodbury to pursue them inside the tombs, I think team prison automatically has the advantage and will come out on top.
They have grenades. They can use Vietnam era tactics and setup booby traps with tripwires. Put them inside coffee cans filled with nails and screws.
Aim center of mass, so everyone they kill comes back and attacks their own teammates. Put walkers in cells in the tombs so when they hear woodbury people coming through they attack, or set-off a booby trap as they come out of the cells.
Team prisons options are almost unlimited. While team woodbury's options are extremely limited.
