State of Decay tactics

So who else is playing the shit out of this game. Even with its bugs, which a patch is coming next week, im very happy with the game. So tactics that are working for you. I take trucks and drive around infestation spots honking to get the hordes to leave the residences, then proceed to run them over. Once i have a solid home base, i proceed to create outposts completely around the base and arm them with mines to create a huge safe zone. I like to go up and down a street, looting each house and placing rucksacks with scavenged material at the curb, i will do this for a block or two, and return to grab materials when needed, or just gather it all driving back and forth quickly. I primarily use guns only for the special zombies. So any other survivors got any good tactics? What about home bases? I used the big warehouse at the south end of marshall, which was pretty effective, and now im holed up in the rodeo, any other good Home base locations with tons of slots for upgrades? Anyone like the Alamo as a spot?
