Trumpton Riots c. 1930
« on: 09 June 2019, 08:51:27 PM »
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.

Excellent! Hopefully the riots will light the fuse of the Pogles’ rural insurgency.  :)

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

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.

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.

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