Five Go Mad in Dunton

This is the background fluff for last weeks game. Each of the 5 players had between 25 and 35 figures on a 6x6 table.

The villages between Aylesbury and Leighton Buzzard are quickly becoming a battle ground for the Leighton Buzzard Defence Force and the BUF, But other forces are also in the area. Dunton is one of these small and one time sleepy villages.

Hugh ‘Bulldog’ Drummond

You bought the ‘Black Gang’ back in to action at the start of the civil war. Your aim is to help friends, stop the spread of communism and have some adventure.

You have been asked to rescue a Mr Johnson from his house on the Beds/ Bucks border.

You arrived at Mr Johnson’s home late last night to find him ill in bed. It’s now the morning and Mr Johnson is well enough to move, but now a BUF patrol is moving in to the village.

Your objective is to get Mr Johnson off table. You will need motor transport as he cannot walk far or very fast.
