Penny for the guy , mister!

 Tomorrow sees me hosting the postponed VBCW game. I will be fielding a platoon based upon a village-

Luckily the postman brought the rockets I ordered prior to Christmas. They will be set off by the local scout troop which will also furnish a forward observer. Here are the Scouts ready for action as well as a 1930s Standard fireworks poster-





I look forward to seeing how the Scout rocket troop performs in the game. I will post pictures and an after game report anon…

    Those are rather splendid looking rocket troops Alan, whose side are the Scouts on....Socialist or Fascist?

      Neither. They are part of a local platoon with vague leanings to the Anglican League.

      Ah, right - so Anglican being the "Established" church in England, they must presumably be tending towards a traditional conservatist outlook on life.....

      The background booklets are still available to buy and are a fun read . I even got a wee think published in one of them on the League of St Andrew.
