Radio Free Somerset

 Radio Free Somerset

Introduction

Almost as soon as Mosley became Prime Minister the BBC became the propaganda voice of the Royalist’s and BUF government. Many of the newly formed militias set up radio stations to put over their side of the news and other anti-government information. Radio Free Somerset is one of these.

Ground

 A farm is in the centre of the table, with a road running down one side. The farm has a main house and some out buildings. There is a track leading away from the farm across the fields. The rest of the table is fields, orchards or small woods.

General Situation

The radio is in a lorry parked in the farmyard.

Set-up

Both sides need to draw a map of their deployment.
