I expect it was just the figures trying to win my affection.

Yes, sometimes these little lead b******s can be so needy...

Thought I'd throw in an article about the Bloomsbury Group:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomsbury_Group

Well, that might or might not have helped...

From what I remember of my undergraduate studies in English this kind of modernist thinking was what you'd call post-Colonial. They wouldn't want anything to do with notions of Empire so they'd definitely be in opposition to Mosley and the BUF. However, they also probably wouldn't support the Yorkists either (or any kind of Monarch)... a definitely not the Anglican faction either. As RedOrc pointed out, you'd definitely take the suffragette theme a bit further. Empress Miniatures have some decent sculpts of women with an LMG from their Spanish Civil War Republicans.

So, I think it's a safe bet anything called the Virginia Woolf Company would be fairly left of centre. I'd just play it safe and make them an all-female unit of left-wing bomb-throwers... literally and figuratively.

Just don't give them any vehicles!  lol

Will we be seeing any pictures of this unit sometime soon? :D You've just reminded me that I haven't checked GWP3 since my computer carked it!

Reminds me of a personals ad:

'Social worker seeks needy type for co-dependent relationship.'
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
