Title: My Little BUF
Post by: levied troop on November 05, 2018, 09:22:54 AM
My BUF forces fora game next year, The National Action Defence Group (Eastern Region).  They have a fearsome reputation with prisoners and no-one likes being caught by the Nadgers.

1 x HQ Section
Commander - Burton Coggles,  pistol
2nd in command, Royston Duxford, pistol
NCO - SMG
2 privates  - rifle and standard bearer
with personal transport for Coggles and Duxford, the NC_-chappie can drive and the two oiks can run behind.

Rifle Sections 1 & 2 - 9 rifles + NCO with SMG and lancia armoured truck transport.

Rifle section 3 - The BUF ran out of money for uniforms and armoured transport so it’s come as you are chaps and we’ll ‘borrow’ a Crossley Tender off those RAF chappies.  Oh, and we're short of rifles, bring your own shotgun.

Support from a HMG with a fella from the Catholic League of Decency (Father Stoppit SJ) to show us how to operate it and a little tankette that was definitely not loaned from Germany, no way, we haven’t got the receipts anywhere.


Mostly Footsore figures, with Father Stoppit SJ as a freebie from an earlier Partizan.

Excellent work!

The tank is more likely to have come from Sweden and quite above board; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LK_II  ;)

Well the Italian guy who runs the Axis Cafe on Rosalind Road says that too, but there's something odd about him if you ask me.

Love the whole bunch. Great use of the Copplestone mercenary! The shorts work perfectly here!

If I might ask, what's that car from? Looks rather a bit nicer than the sort of diecast you usually get.

You have a good eye sir, it’s from Oxford Diecast - I treated myself to a pair of their 30’s roadsters, not cheap but a very superior model.

They sound like the sort of bounders who'd hang you up by the Figgin.

Thanks for the kind comments chaps.

I am planning just one more addition, 2 men in the armoured trucks firing the MG.  Once I’ve found the right figures I shall make sure one of them is wearing carpet slippers :)

That chap in the plaid jacket and plus fours is superb! Terrific work all round.

By the by, little known fact: Hungary probably had as many LKII tanks as the Swedes. They smuggled them out of Germany and then played a thimble and pea game with the Allied Disarmament Commission, moving them from barn to warehouse, etc for a number of years, It’s even alleged that they forgot the whereabouts of a couple of them. There are photos showing a couple of the handful they got running.
