Text of the page (random words):
the metropolitan blackshorts occupy the church and begin to fire at the enemy now taking cover in the recently vacated ruins opposite the buf artillery truck opens fire on these rebels but the shot goes astray and lands perilously close to the church on the left flank the rebels occupy more ruins and a firefight erupts between them and the buf who are soon joined by the sidcup highlanders whilst the ladies fascisti take up positions in reserve among the enemy ranks cricketers make good use of their bowling arms by lobbing grenades instead of googlies the shooting is intense and both sides take casualties but eventually one section of rebel militia can take no more and makes a run for it muttering something about a lost scarf however the triumph is short lived as rebel armoured cars suddenly appear on each flank meanwhile blowhard and co are withdrawing through the cornfield behind the church as fast as they can by now the marches blackshort infantry section has arrived they make a beeline for the church walls where the spotting team and runners are holding the line and suffering for it the rebels cannot hope to catch general blowhard so all the blackshorts and buf have to do is hold them up long enough for him to make his escape on the right flank the buf exchange fire with the rebels again the fighting is deadly to both sides but it does the job of holding up the enemy by now the hour is late and it is clear that blowhard and co will make it off the table safely the buf battle plan for the coming offensive is secure a fun and well overdue vbcw battle the forces of order took the lion s share of casualties but managed to rescue the general from rebel clutches in reality the purpose of the game was to reacquaint ourselves with the rules and for that it served it s purpose well lots of laughs all round great stuff posted by jp at 11 11 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels wargames thursday 23 february 2017 herefordshire 1938 the next generation a few weeks ago i was asked if there was going to be a vbcw big game this year this was my answer giles and i have been organising these big games since 2012 while i can t speak for giles personally i ve decided to take a long break from doing any more after a while the work behind the scenes becomes onerous and i ve always been of the opinion that when a hobby begins to feel like a job it s time to step back from that hobby this is how i feel about the vbcw big games at the moment i m afraid i m not selling my vbcw collection just yet if someone else takes up the baton i ll do my best to pop along and support as much as i can but my days of chasing people up for orbats and curry orders are for the time being over happily other chaps have manfully stepped into the breach and have volunteered to keep the flag flying they have organised a new big game for april 1st 2017 and have created a new blog it can be found at http hereford1938avbcwtng blogspot co uk this new blog will be the source of information for new big games although i ll be using this blog to write any aars from my perspective please pop across and take a look posted by jp at 10 41 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels misc monday 11 july 2016 local news ooc apologies for the lack of updates in vbcw herefordshire i m busy with my frostgrave stuff at the moment having pretty much painted everything i need for vbcw however this post by erstwhilevbcw gamer leadboy requires some kind of retort who is the scarlet lady decent law abiding listeners throughout the county have been shocked and scandalised by the recent output from a traitorous radio station the bishop s broadcasting service transmitting from rebel held ludlow their so called news program claims to have uncovered the identity of the scarlet lady an unfortunate young woman who is rumoured to appear in a number of photographs from the collection of the late gadabout colonel patrick mustard these frightful derrogutypes the rebels claim are of none other than lady de braose supposed wife of our dear governor until now this noble baron has refused to lower himself and answer such ludicrous claims but at the urging of his press secretary has released the following statement what utter rot it just goes to show how desperate these fellows are to cast aspersions on a man s wife especially when that man is not actually married silly b s indeed as everyone in proper herefordshire society knows baron de braose is a confirmed bachelor who s only mistress is his job manuscript still in rebel hands the salacious memoirs of the aforementioned mustard is still thought to be in rebel hands being last seen in the grubby oil stained hands of a socialist rabble rouser as is the habit of these unscrupulous reds excerpts have been leaked to the more disreputable organs of the press see above however most of these have been dismissed as the perverted workings of an unbalanced hack by experts many however are still taking this work of fiction seriously and have expressed an interest in securing the manuscript shady deals are thought to have been made although the authorities have disavowed any involvement merely warning individuals against making private agreements with such unpleasant characters fighting near aconbury after a period of calm fresh fighting has erupted around the aconbury front around the hereford ross road our correspondent mr morrison has phoned in this report from shell village a buf lorry carrying fuel had broken down and been hidden in a barn near shell village the buf royalist forces were tasked with recovering the fuel the anglican league forces were ordered to sweep the village and farm for rumoured hidden fuel supplies both sides were under strict orders not to destroy the fuel unknown to both sides the ruined village was occupied by the remnants of the shell ldv who had been decimated in a previous battle after being deserted by their anglican allies now nursing a bitter hatred of both sides they were determined to fight to the last to defend their village against all comers as the hereford small traders advanced into the village on the anglican left flank and lord scudamore s loyal legion did likewise on the royalist right both suffered casualties when ambushed by the shell ldv who knocked out an anglican armoured car with grenades in the centre the buf reached the barn where they were inadvertently joined by lord scudamore s legion seeking cover and the gas street irregulars seeking loot with 75 of the king s men in the barn the anglican commander unaware the barn contained the vital fuel decided it made too tempting a target for his mortar team to ignore as spectators held their breath the mortar scored a direct hit but to the disappointment of the onlookers the bomb turned out to be a dud and failed to explode meanwhile the avaricious tendencies of the gas street irregulars had left the royalist left flank held by only the buf company sergeant who now faced the archenfield young farmers and an armoured car advancing along the road through a wood in an act of seemingly suicidal bravery he charged the farmers who failed their morale test and fled he then survived a machine gunning attempt by the armoured car and charged it in return the raw crew also failed their morale test and drove off sgt mad wullie macfeeble has been recommended for the cross of st george iron class a desperate charge towards the barn by the forest of dean free miners and the bishop of hereford s suffragen militia was met with a hail of fire from the buf hmg and artillery and repulsed with heavy casualties the shell ldv were finally wiped out by the royalist cricketers of lord smedley s gentlemen s second xi and the game ended with the royalist buf forces triumphant having had the best of luck if only that mortar shell had exploded mr morrison was also on the present during a buf punitive expedition against malcontents on windy ridge both sides were tasked with investigating suspicious lights from the church tower and checking the village for spies the buf had also assembled a demolition team to destroy the bishop s broadcasting corporation transmitter on windy ridge which was guarded by the archenfield young farmers a cautious approach by both sides uncovered a number of malcontents and deserters lurking in the woods and houses some of whom surrendered quietly but a few decided to fight and put up a ferocious resistance causing casualties on both sides before being eliminated this diversion basically bogged down the whole centre of the battlefield on the anglican left wing the forest of dean free miners were driven back from the church by the cheltenham ladies college and gas street irregulars who occupied the tower but found nothing untoward on windy ridge the firepower of the buf supported by an armoured car forced the archenfield young farmers to fall back but time ran out before the demolition of the transmitter could be carried out kington on the verge welsh nationalists holding the market town of kington are on the verge of surrendering a military spokesman has revealed with the railways cleared of rebel saboteurs we have been able to transport heavy siege guns from royalist bases in the west midlands and are currently using them to great effect against the taffies he said there can be no doubt that joubert s men and our brave territorials have their tails up now and soon they will have liberated kington and with

18 april 2016 the state of play once again battles have been fought and the balance of power is shifting however this time things have been complicated by rumours of the contents of colonel pat mustard s salacious memoirs currently in the hands of the socialists although deemed to be largely a work of fiction by mainstream experts the possible existence of this scandalous tale of love affairs assignations and lust among the establishment has sent ripples of discontent throughout british society authentic or not the manuscript gives the socialists a strong bargaining chip for one of their barges plus it s crew is currently being hauled out of the river by the buf in herefordshire trust in the landed gentry has been shaken in parishes in and around the scene of the recent anglican league victory at aconbury residents have flocked to the anglican banner local landowners south of hereford formerly content to remain neutral have fallen over themselves to prove should the manuscript ever be published their piety and good character under the accusing glare of the lower orders in their employ further north newly conquered brimfield and adjacent parishes have also followed suit and declared for the bishop of ludlow however most of this area remains loyal to miss nemone mortimer wagstaff with her control over mortimer country nemone has been looking for a cause and a husband for some time but has been unable to make up her mind until now worried by the discovery of mustard s memoirs in which the young lady s late mother is mentioned she has made no secret of her desire to possess and destroy the document in matters of romance her heart is currently torn between the anglican shropshire swain and a dashing royalist officer from shrewsbury to the west the welsh border campaign has ended with the fascists dealing a coup de grace to the rebels by pushing them out of their last strategic base at whitney however the joint anglican socialist rear guard has given the retreating forces plenty of time to withdraw and regroup closer to their respective hqs at ross and ludlow now firmly under the anglican league the welsh nationalists have been similarly repulsed and but are clinging on in a besieged kington a small but potentially significant development is the arrival of the albertines supporters of the king s brother prince albert whose armada sailed in force from his exile in canada but was scattered by a storm and has landed piecemeal around the british coast the small force of albertines that washed up the severn estuary have negotiated passage through the forest of dean and have set up shop along the wye valley around welsh bicknor and stowfield they have since fought alongside the anglicans but should reinforcements arrive they may well emerge as an independent faction so the welsh border is largely in royalist and buf hands but this has left the north and south of the county vulnerable to a rejuvenated anglican league presence can the king s forces anticipate the next threat quickly enough to counter it will the accord between royalist and fascist continue to hold will neutral parties such as the landowners protection association and the twiggy mommet protest movement survive in an increasingly polarised county can the anglican league exploit it s recent gains will their alliance with the socialists and welsh hold now that another royal has thrown his cap into the ring i ve no idea but it ll be fun finding out posted by jp at 08 52 4 comments email this b...
