2. We have much more visibility around us than before, in fact I can see 3 towns around us from the keep roof, so someone could watch as a raiding party moves in

3. it's not far from the NW airfield - raiding it would be easier then taking it from the south. Also defenders wouldn't expect us from the North. We could even watch them build a chopper, raid them and take it?

In all honesty, tomorrow I think we'll die of hunger or thirst before we get too far.
