AVBCW: This Sceptered Isle – 2

The table was set up on an 8×4′ board.

With the three farms.

We diced for which side we’d set up on.

MHC ready to go over the top and secure a farm. I refgused one flank, as did JP.

The rest of my forces massed behind tghe second farm and on the road that bisected the board.

“Black short knees Sir, thhaasands of them !

Yes hundreds of gnarly knobbly fascist knees exposed by shorts or kilts were arrianged against the MHC, along with 20 Cavalry ! (I really must get my MHC cavalry painted!)

The armoured cars squared off against each other on the road.

The BUF had an anti tank device apparently…personally I claimed it was a baloon on a stick…filled with the hot air from the BUF leadership.

The BUF cavalry make a diversionary move, against the MHC unit occupying the first farm – I had to hedge my bets and leave a second unit close at hand. I’d hoped the cavalry would come across the field and my Lanchester A/C would machine gun them, so that two was diverted.

The remaining A/Cs duked it out along the road, with me getting the upper hand at first. This allowed my other troops to enter the second farm yard, and take up positions opposite the BUF for a firefight which continued for the rest of the game.
