Okay, I’m writing YA post-apocalyptic fiction. Lately, I’ve been having this idea kicking around in my head basically of a Stalingrad street-by-street battle, but within the confines of an army base. If I were to use this idea, how close am I teetering between realistic and unrealistic? Because after all, you can get away with some unrealism, but there comes a point where there’s only so much suspension of belief can stand. So is this scenario semi-plausible or should I stage the fight somewhere else.
Though if I were to go with the army base scenario, could someone provide a generalized map for me? It doesn’t have to be anything real specific, but I know bases in general can serve as mini cities,
complete with housing and all the other day-to-day amenities needed for families: like schools, restaurants, recreation, etc. I just want to have some vague notion as to the layout of a place, like where the barracks would be in relation to everything else, how things are generally mapped out.
