Uprising - A VBCW Scenario - Full Battle Report Posted(19/11)
« on: November 17, 2014, 11:48:42 AM »
Putting on a big game tonight in the Shed so thought I would share the background...battle report to come tomorrow

The small walled city of Southchester  (ficticious) lies on the Essex side of the River Thames. Its about 40 miles from London.

Prior to the War this estuary town was famous for its local eel fishing, a rather beautiful 14th century church and the near perfect Norman Keep. Local travellers would often stay in the King George Hotel situated on the harbour front.



For the last six months it has been under the protectorate of the BUF. The local garrison commanded by Colonel Simpson, a rather unsavoury character. However local residents have decided that enough is enough and want to throw their lot in with the Anglican League.



At Dawn an explosion ripped through the telephone exchange and armed partisans can be seen on the streets. The objective simple take the town from the BUF.
The Partisans have three core objectives
1.   Seize the Old Norman Keep
2.   Seize the Railway Station
3.   Seize the Western Gatehouse



As you can see I have combined my Medieval Wall Setting, my pirate Port and my 1930's table to create a bit of a monster - 16ft in length

Come back soon for the battle report



At some point in the proceedings the Anglican League will land reinforcements along the beach/port.

Very impressive, mate.
And good use of various scenery elements to create a very interesting board.

VBCW is becoming more and more tempting all the time.
