Hereford VBCW Campaign - Big Game AAR
« on: October 19, 2015, 11:31:38 AM »
Saturday 17th October saw another episode in the ongoing Hereford VBCW campaign with 15 participants battling over 3 tables. Each table was a different battle but all have relevance to each other and the continuing campaign.

Sir Gilbert Hill (Bart), whom I have the honour to reperesent here and on the table, led his Volunteers at the storming of the Barricades at Dorstone – a village in the Golden Valley recently subjected to the depredations of a criminal cabal.

The story of Sir Gilbert's heroic action is told, mainly in photos, here:

as are Nanny Pankhurst's views on the efficacy of whalebone-reinforced corsetry

To start you off, here is the moment when "Mad" Wullie McSpaniel destroyed an enemy armoured car with a sticky bomb

Not a good day for the Anglican league.  What with the rocket salvo just scaring a small rabbit.  The Char C getting stuck on a Crossley then getting taken out by a Boyes AT rifle and a butter with a sword! The mortar firing twice then obliterated by an enemy Mortar.  The Bishop had to lead what remained off the field.  Great day gaming in darkest Herefordshire.  Thanks JP, Mort, Giles and all who came to play.

I have added my report to the mix. Far more truthful than the previous lots of nonsense and propaganda.

Here is the full report

Very entertaining blog report, Rob. Obviously total nonsense but very enjoyable.

Sir Gilbert has been informed. Don't go out on your own
