The game will start with all the players having fought for up to 24 hours, so they are going to be short of ammunition.<br />
I've made up the following rules to cover this;<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">HMG and LMG ammunition is counted in ‘BURSTS’. Each player will start
with a number of ‘Bursts’ for his platoon. As his HMG/LMGs fire then 1 burst is
crossed off his Burst tracker.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">HMG/LMG Burst; firing 3 or more shoots at one time or 1 shot at a
building.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">LMG Double Tap; when an LMG firing 2 shoots at one time. A double tap
doesn’t count as a burst BUT does count as automatic fire so the target must
take a nerve test. <span style="font-size: 18pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I'm having a clear out of figures I'm not using. As I didn't want to fill up other people's facebook pages with figures I thought I'd put them on here. The figures are all new and have never been used in a game. The prices are £2.50 a figure unless I put otherwise under the picture. I will split groups and all prices are plus p&p.<br />

<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Supply
Chain</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">There
is no supply chain; no faction controls the whole of the manufacturing processes.
This means local commanders (players) are going to have to lead a hand to mouth
existence most of the time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">This
is still the same if you are operating close to a port, unless the port has
enough of the Royal Navy to keep the sea lanes open, supplies are still going
to be hit and miss getting to you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">This
means all sides will be building/taking over any factories they can to make
some of the arms, ammunition and other equipment they need. These will then
become targets for every other faction in the area. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Tanks <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
supply chain problems will make any tanks and other vehicles you have very
important. Losing them should/will have a knock on effect in all your future
games.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
tanks of 1938 are no way near as strong as those of 1944/45. They are not much
more than tracked skips the size of a Transit van. They are not going to burst
through a mature British hedge. More than likely they will be beached on and
old tree stump or have track pulled off. Along with the supply problems this
will make all tank commanders very conservative in how they fight, as no tankie
wants to become an infantryman.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">The
lack on a supply chain will have an effect on infantry units as well. The Lee
Enfield rifle may have a range of 1000 yards, but if your troops only have
40-50 rounds each, then they are going to hold their fire and not engage an
enemy until the range is 200-300 yards. This is going to be even more likely if
the unit is a half trained militia unit.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Trying
to control large areas with little or no fuel for vehicles will mean commanders
going using a lot of bicycles and going back to the horse. Almost all
commanders are going to raise mounted infantry units as a way to cover as much
ground as possible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
Leighton Buzzard Defence Force started the civil war very short of arms and
ammunition. To improve things they have done an arms deal with some Londoners,
the Mitchel brothers. Unfortunately the local BUF have got wind of the deal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of the games are set in Somerset and have rhynes which are a type of drainage
ditch. If you’re fighting in another part of the country change these for

Sorry it's been a year since I posted anything, I lost the my mojo as writing is not my strongest suit.<br />
Things have not stopped in the VBCW world which is great and I've not stopped either.<br />
We've got some new players at the Leighton Buzzard club who are getting in to VBCW in a big way so that has helped and we're working on a re-write of the 'Went The Day Well?' rules which should make them much better. We'er going to try them out at Partizan this Sunday, so more on that next week.<br />
The figure is one of my Ramblers 'Right to roam. Right to fight' mor on them soon as well.<br />
<br />
Cheers for now,<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> A great day's fighting on 2 tables. The Duke of Bedford,
Hugh ‘Bulldog’ Drummond, Colonel Allen Faulkner, plus 2 platoons of BUF and
Leighton Buzzard Workers Collective and a late showing from the Anglican League
all lead to some very confused fighting around the village of Newton Longville.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Both ‘Bulldog’ Drummond and Colonel Faulkner were in the
village to 'rescue' a Mr Johnson, everyone else was there to fly the flag and
put on a show of force.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the village table things started slowly as the BUF (Adrian) were
conned by ‘Bulldog’ Drummond's (me) men, dressed as policemen to attack Colonel
Faulkner (Mr PK). Grim's (Matt) Leighton Buzzard Workers Collective moved in to the
village behind their tank. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the other table Pinback (Richard) as the other Workers Collective
commander fought it out with the BUF (Dik) until the Duke of Bedford's (Rob) forces
arrived, this table then turned in to a 3 way fight around crossroads in the
middle of the table.<o:p></o:p></div>

The Workers Collective tried to find a way round the BUF and
Colonel Faulkner. The Workers Collective didn't want to start a fight without
finding out who everyone else was. So for the first hour or more the only
fighting was between the BUF and ‘Bulldog’ Drummond.<br />

the Leightoner's but were pulled up short by the arrive of the Duke's forces.<br />

As I said i picked out over 100 Empress figures on ebay and have been converting them for VBCW, Giles asked on the forum (http://vbcf.freeforums.org/index.php) for a militia mortar team. I did one then a second<br />

This was ok and looks very good, but I wanted to do better. These 2 are my Mk 2 mortar team.<br />

Both are Artizan partisan figures the mortar and bombs are from Assault Group. The work took about half an hour and the figures look very good. I now need to find a 3rd figure for the crew, so I'm going to have a good dig through the Empress figures I've just got.<br />

I've also had some luck with ebay, winning 138 Empress figures for £150 in 6 or 7 lots. This should mean I have enough figures for my converted platoon and a lot left over. I've also ordered 40 British helmets and 10 Tommy guns.<br />

My plan is to do head/hat/helmet conversions and some weapon conversions as well and then sell then in 10 man sections or as weapons teams. Of the above figures I'm going to keep the rifleman and sell the BAR armed figure.Morthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12052299375395271561noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5752383159601811513.post-87324970747842390222014-04-13T15:46:00.001+01:002014-04-13T15:46:56.529+01:00Next Figures<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So my long term plan has been to have a platoon of all converted figures. As I've just sold some of my older figures, I though I'd better get on with it.<br />

These 2 are Artizan I've used before, but I like them so here they are a second time. One has had just a rifle change, the other a helmet and rifle change.<br />

The Top figure is from the same Artizan pack as the BAR gunner. The other two are from North Star's SCW figure pack. The North Star figures are ok apart from the rifles which are a bit rubbish. <br />

The Artizan figure was easy, I just cut off the old rifle at the left hand and drilled down through the hand as far as I could. I then cut out the rest of the rifle from between the hands and drilled a little way in to the right hand.<br />

I cut the left hand at the top to separate the fingers and make 1 thumb. The rifle had most of the butt cut off, just leaving a small peg. This peg was shaved down to fit in to the hole I'd drilled in to the right hand.<br />

The fingers where opened out to fit the rifle. The rifle was glued in to place using the peg and on the left hand.<br />

The North Star figure was even easier. The rifle and right hand had to be cut away, I then drilled up in to the arm and used a Musketeer rifle and hand from a Black and Tan figure to replace them.Morthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12052299375395271561noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5752383159601811513.post-9209880046967468212013-09-07T14:43:00.000+01:002013-09-07T14:43:51.057+01:00More Figure Conversions <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So I've wanted to do another BAR figure conversion for ages, but haven't found the right figure. Then I came across a pack of Artizan Partisans, one of which had a separate right arm. I spent 2 or 3 weeks with the figure on my desk, looking at the best way of doing it.<br />

I cut out some of the jacket (not enough) to fit the BAR and some from underneath the arm. I also filed down the BAR.<br />

The new right hand is from Old Glory and started out with a sword in it. I cut off the old right hand and rifle, then drilled in to the arm at an angle. I cut a V in to the new hand and tried to line it all up. This failed so I got out my gel super glue and went for it.<br />

Firstly I stuck the BAR to the body at an angle that looked about right. Then I stuck the arm over this and lastly stuck on the hand. The hand took 3 or 4 goes to get right.<br />

The figure has worked out very well and adds some more fire power to the SFF.<br />
I need to see how many converted figures I have and I'm now aiming at a full platoon.<br />

Dik found himself facing a unit in BUF uniforms (Alan) but as these deployed in to a skirmish line, Dik was forced to move forward with his armoured car to block the road. Neil arrived on the table, de-bused and attacked Alan's forces around the church.<br />
As Dennis held back, hiding Mr Johnson in the white barn and didn't reveal himself. Matt split his platoon one section heading for the terrace house as the other two moved to cut the roads.<br />

Dik forced his way in to the farm and started a fire fight with Dennis in the court yard. Tommy guns and BARs at point blank range. Meanwhile Alan lost a section to the Anglican League.<br />
Alan failed to use the letter to get the Dik and his BUF on his side, which started to lose him the game.<br />

In the court yard it was an even battle between the BUF and Dennis's Black Gang. It quickly became a hand to hand fight with Bulldog himself killing three BUF.<br />
Alan finally got in to the farm house and sore off a section of Anglican League.<br />
Matt had decided to stay out of the fighting and search the terrace and then try and steal one of Alan's trucks!<br />
Dennis lost Mr Johnson to the BUF and then made a run for it as He was now out gunned, Bulldog and the rest of the Black Gang fading in to the early morning mist.<br />
Alan finally used the letter and got help from the BUF so seeing off the Anglican League and getting hold of Mr Johnson, just as the Leighton Boys drove off in his lorry.<br />
A great game well played by all.<br />

The battle for Tilsworth started with the Duke of Bedford and the BUF facing off down the A5. Both commanders advanced with armoured cars first and these where soon trading fire. Both commanders also bought on all their trainsport and this soon clogged up the road.<br />

The battle centred on the road for 5 or 6 moves giving time for the defenders of Tilsworth to muster at the pub and man their trenches. With no space to get his vehicles off the road the BUF commander finished up with a bus leading the charge in to Tilsworth.<br />

Under fire from both the village defenders and the Duke's 18lb'er the BUF where forced to withdraw. The Duke was in no poistion to follow up or attack Tilsworth as he had lost his armoured car and some infantry.<br />
This left the village in the hands of its defenders the Leighton Buzzard Defence Force.<br />

The attack on Wing started badly for the BUF. A chance card meant that their only vehicle broke down and didn't move for the rest of the game.<br />
The BUF then had to get past the trench line on the edge of the village. Covered by an HMG the BUF pushed up the left side of the trenches and then up the road.<br />

The Leighton Boys tried to counter-attack in the centre but this failed and they where forced back to edge of the village. The section in the white house lacked an LMG so couldn't get the dismounted cavalry to take an nerve test and started to lose the fire fight. At this point I pulled the Leighton Boys off the table. And that was the end of the battle on this table.<br /><br />Morthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12052299375395271561noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5752383159601811513.post-90530692748680330342013-08-04T15:53:00.000+01:002013-08-04T15:53:52.437+01:00Battles at Wing and Tilsworth, part 1<span style="font-family: inherit;">The second one day battle I've put on at the Leighton Buzzard club was about starting a campaign around Leighton itself.
