About this episode

Matt and his volunteers devise a plan to defend Cliffhaven from an attacking force.

Matt and his little band of volunteers (and a couple conscripts) head down to Sawyer to hopefully distract and discourage the assault on Cliffhaven. They meet up with Gus in his shop and learn of the attackers' plan to breach the gate and loot all the food. Matt thinks up a different plan. Instead of simply creating a flanking distraction, he thinks they can even up the numbers by their wounding a sizable enough portion of the attacking force. His little squad move into position near the gate of Cliffhaven. Support the Stories! Keep the stories coming.
