West Point is a town on the banks of the Ohio River in eastern Knox Country. It lies north of Muldraugh, east of Riverside and south of Valley Station and Louisville. It is based on the real West Point in Kentucky.
West Point calls itself true small town America. It has a town square, sleepy streets, cheap housing and wide farmland. It is also an administrative hub for Knox Country. The mayor worked in the Town Hall, and was often seen at the famous Twiggy's bar.
West Point is the easternmost starting town, with Louisville a short drive away. It is also one of the most dangerous places in Knox Country. Large crowds of the dead fill nearly every street.
The town counts as a hard place to survive. The dense crowd also brings more loot. West Point holds some of the best overall loot of any starting town. Firearms and ammunition are especially common. It suits a survivor with combat skills, or a character built around guns.
West Point Layout
West Point splits into two districts. The Dixie Highway runs through the southern part of town and curves north.
The suburbs fill the western side of town. Most homes there are large, and many have garages. The district is almost all housing, and most new characters start here.
Downtown fills the eastern side. Nearly every major looting spot sits here, close together. The crowd is also thicker here than in the suburbs.
The police station, the Town Hall, the post office and Knox Bank stand downtown. West Point DIY, GigaMart and Stendo's Firearms Emporium lie on the eastern edge of downtown. Twiggy's and Pharmahug stand nearby.
The train station, the fire department and American Tire lie farther east. Tradewinds Forge and the self storage sit to the southeast. The camping grounds and the Diner in the Woods lie south of town.
The school and the Food Market stand in the west, among the suburbs. A church lies at the far western edge. Ben's cabin, the Prewitt Hotel and the scout lodge lie far to the west.
The Salt River lies to the east and Jefferson Forest to the southeast. The Ohio River lies to the west, and Valley Station to the northeast.

Surviving in West Point
The greatest danger in West Point is the sheer number of zombies. They spread across the whole town, both in the suburbs and downtown. A new character with low skills can be overwhelmed fast. West Point is a poor choice for a first game.
The weapons found in the suburbs often need combat or mechanical skill to use well. Firearms are the easy answer, since they are plentiful. Leaning too hard on one approach can backfire, depending on the character's skills.
Stealth is a weak plan in West Point. The crowds are too dense to sneak around.
Fire bombs and molotovs work very well on large groups. The buildings stand close together, though. A fire can spread and destroy loot across a whole block.
A survivor arriving from another town should bring good combat and nimble skills. The Ohio River gives endless water and fishing on the western edge.
Starting in West Point
A new character in West Point usually begins in the western suburbs. The early days are hard, since starting skills are low. The first goals are a weapon and a safe room. Suburb garages and homes often hold guns and ammunition. Downtown holds the best loot but also the biggest crowd. It is better visited once the character has some combat skill.
Notes
- West Point is one of the hardest starting towns in Knox Country.
- Guns and ammunition are common, even in suburban homes.
- Nearly all major looting spots sit downtown on the east side.
- Stealth is weak here because the crowds are too dense.
- Fire spreads easily between the closely packed buildings.
