Fear the Walking Dead, Survival rule of the week: War is hell.

Fear the Walking Dead: Choose your battlefields wisely

Alicia made it pretty clear she planned on joining Morgan at the U.S.S. Pennsylvania as she prepared for her proposed war against Strand. There’s a teensy bit of a problem: The Pennsylvania is in the middle of the wasteland, which would make fighting there an even bigger problem than having a war in an apocalypse would already be!

If you must fight a war with someone in a zombie apocalypse, it would pay to do so in a place that can’t also kill you just by standing in it. While you may not have many places right now because of the chaotic, somewhat decaying world we’ll be in after civilization crumbles. There will likely be far more in a zombie apocalypse. Whether it’s because of nuclear fallout, poisonous gas leaks, chemical spills, or another unforeseen putrefaction, there will almost certainly be more places that, just by being in them, you run a greater risk of serious damage to your health. Therefore, it would be wise to avoid fighting in them.

Conversely, if you know and (more importantly) can protect yourself against whatever environmental threats lurk in such a place, it might be smart to force your enemies to fight there. This will cause them to deal with two threats at once and maybe even frighten them out of trying to pick fights with you in the future.
