A rather silly game at OML7 in Evesham yesterday, inspired by a rather obscure post-punk band, a 1968 children’s TV programme and several alcoholically propelled discussions:
28mm using Chain of Command rules...
-
Some are inspired by a Wellington. Whilst others are inspired by half a biscuit. ;)
A lovely slice of nonsense on a lively and busy table.
-
Looks absolutely brilliant and a fun game
-
Excellent! Hopefully the riots will light the fuse of the Pogles’ rural insurgency. :)
-
Lovely bit of work. lol
-
Great set up and figures thanks for posting!
I can see some Ironclad Miniatures figures in there one of my favourite miniatures suppliers!
-
Nice looking game
When are you going to do the Chigley Massacre.... lol

-
Excellent. Purely by co-incidence I was listening to that song on You Tube last week.
-
I see PC Plod got himself some mates, but did Mrs. Honeybun stay right out of sight?
-
Indeed she did, though Mrs Cobbitt is now officially a Martyr of the Revolution having sacrificed herself setting off an IED hidden amongst her flower baskets as the Autocratic Mayor was passing. He survived the blast only because that Running Dog of Capitalism, Mr Troop, took the full force of the blast.
-
Brilliant!
lol lol
Just my kind of silliness.
:D
-
PC McGarry was cut down in a hail of bullets from the Trumpton Chapter of the Wood Turners and Associated Trades Societies (led by Arthur “Chippy” Minton) while his mate, PC Potter, had to stay out late and badly fumbled his CS gas grenade.
Very tempted to do a Chigley sequel, if only to build Lord Brocket’s biscuit factory, an armoured train and the wharf.

Windy Militant leads the Corn Grinders Collective against the Boys from Pippin Fort.

All-right-ee then, this is clearly a very Eng-landery sort of game. Have fun. :D
-

Absolutely brilliant lol

Someone had to do it.
-
Always knew you were a man of taste and discernment, Nick.
-
Wonderful idea for a game and great execution. Well done that man!
-
Great stuff 8)
I hope one of the players was wearing a Dukla Prague away shirt....
-
Sadly not, nor was the Fred Titmus random event card dealt at any point.
-
It would be good to see this as a show display game.
-
We’ve been asked to take it to a couple of shows - be careful what you wish for!
-
All I can say is thatPew, Pew, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub seem to have found themselves a few mates. 8)
-
I blame windy Miller's cider
-
I can only hope that thus thread was watched with mother. :)
-
Keep Mrs Honeyman safe out of sight, cos there's gonna be a riot down in Trumpton tonight!
Wonderful stuff!
-
Fantastic! I startled a chap sitting here next to me due to guffawing out loud at the 'CANT NOT KANT' banner! lol
-
Lovely setup! I particularly like the armed police; Artizan or something else?
-
Brilliant, mad, brilliant!
How about a follow up over the border in Wales.....https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6vp9dKNoq6I (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6vp9dKNoq6I)
-
The armed police are a mix of Ironclad and Artizan IIRC. The Boys from Pippin Fort are Empress VBCW figures and the Firemen were also Ironclad.
We’ll be putting on the game at Partizan tomorrow - officially a demo but there’s always room for someone who wants to roll a few dice for a turn or two.
-
I'll be there so if I've time I'll pop over.
Mark.
-
I'll swing by and see you 😊
-
I'll come by and have a look. I might say hello or I might just lurk lol
-
Lurking is permitted. If you say ‘hello’, I’ll only end up buying stuff off you, so it’s probably preferable!
-
I have to say these pictures just don't do it justice.
I popped over to see the table at Partizan.One of the friendliest group of nutters I've come across at show in a long time.(the music was an inspired addition it gave context and sense of fun long before you got to the table top.)
Lovely table which I hope gets expanded upon and a second outing next year.
Only negative( from my perspective ) was I simply have the time to hear about your home brew rules . Only that it was similar to VBCW. Before I got dragged off to talk shop.
And talk my mate out of buying an MG42 across the road.
Cracking game.
Mark.

Hmmm. Not sure'd have said that if you were next door to 'em all day... there are only so many obscene versions of the Postman Pat lyrics one can come up with in 6 hours of repetition ;)
-
Jon hope it didn't go ear worm on you. lol
I'd said come with us across to the arms fair . But it was a serious odd ball rally :o

-
Just to be clear, Postman Pat only turned up once, in game one!
-
Mark, the rules we used were essentially “Chain of Command” but we used the “Sharp Practice” card-driven activation of Leaders instead of the usual command dice mechanism.
We find, for multi-player participation games like this, it speeds things up and keeps everyone more involved - there’s less downtime as everyone sits around waiting for John to decide how best to allocate his dice.
-
Aly Morrison just posted some really nice photos of our game.
-
Any chance of a follow up Zombie game based on I Hate Nerys Hughes?
-
That is one awesome looking set-up! Looks like it was a fun game.
-
Carlos, if we’re ever mad enough to do a sequel, it’ll either be
“Chigley - the battle of the biscuit factory” or
“ Ballymorey - the Longest Day”
-
“Chigley - the battle of the biscuit factory”
Love to see that! :o
