<br />
One of the ways I learn rules is to design 'Quick Reference Sheets' for them (some sets are easier then others.)<br />
<br />
Consequently, I have a set of electronic QRS for the above. I've checked with various people and if I don't offer it for cash I don't break any copyright rules, unless someone out there knows differently.<br />
<br />
So the offer is there for anyone out there. If you want a copy just email me. I'm sure my e-mail address is aval in my personal information page.<br />
<br />
Take care out there, in the real world.<br />

<br />There's also a company of Socialists somewhere but during the last ethnic cleansing by SWMBO they are currently AWOL.<div>

<div>
Now all I need to do is get them all into action.</div>

Take care out there.</div>

There's the motorised section.<br />
The support section, although I am missing two HMGs, got the crew.<br />
A medical section.<br />
A CIVPOL section.<br />
A medical section.<br />
An artillery piece that needs heavy TLC.<br />
There's a Russian backed assault platoon and a Territorial Battalion (not shown.)<br />
<br />
I'm going to be busy. Damn those HMGs.<br />
<br />
Wish me luck.<br />

There are more cyclists and heavy weapons, but they won't join the BUF. I see HaT do a WW1 British Heavy Weapons box containing mortars. Does anyone know where I could get a pack at a decent price?<br />
<br />
I hope to get these completed by the end of the week, after which the heirs and I will be going to Wembley to watch Ireland vs Romania. Will I get my wish, I doubt it, but the sooner it's complete the sooner a game is on.<br />

Dazzle camouflage, also known as razzle dazzle or dazzle painting, was ship and tank camouflage used extensively in World War 1. Designed by Norman Wilkinson it consisted of complex patterns of geometric shapes in contrasting colours, interrupting and intersecting each other.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Unlike some other forms of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camouflage" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Camouflage">c</a>amouflage, dazzle works not by concealment but by making it difficult to estimate a target's range, speed and heading. Wilkinson explained in 1919 that dazzle was intended more to mislead the enemy as to the correct position to take up than actually to miss his shot when firing.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The ferries themselves are steeped in military history. For instance: <span style="line-height: 22.4px;"> During WW1</span><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"> the steamers </span><i style="line-height: 22.4px;">Iris</i><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"> and </span><i style="line-height: 22.4px;">Daffodil</i><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"> were taken out of service from Wallasey to be used as troop ships in the navel raid on Zeebrugge</span><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"> in Belgium. </span><span style="line-height: 22.4px;">Because of their work King George V allowed the vessels to use the word </span><i style="line-height: 22.4px;">"Royal"</i><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"> in their name. They needed extensive refitting before they could resume peacetime activities.</span></div>

I think it's time to kick back for a couple of weeks and make some inroads into my VCBW campaign.<br />
<br />
Plan:<br />
1. Reorg the man cave.<br />
2. Recall the troops and reinforce deficiencies.<br />
3. Play a game.<br />
4. Restart the campaign.<br />
<br />
So what did I learn on my little sojourn.<br />
<br />
I think the Amish lads summed it up well.<br />

My co-trainer has gone off sick leaving me with the course to finish off. The complete inability of the management team to understand what is going on, the failure to succession plan and the complete lack of resilience in the training dept. All means that I'm doing two jobs! I've put my cards in and should finish this week. However, as a result of the aforementioned my leave has been cancelled so I have to stay on for another three weeks. Hey but don't worry, the Inspector is coming back from his leave on Monday and the Sergeant goes off on leave Monday! Subsequently, my hobby time has ground to a halt. Rant over.<br />
<br />
One thing I do like about the <i>World Aflame</i> rule set is the limited ammunition rule. This has added another dimension to my games. As troops need to be supplied I thought the XXth Legion needed a transport section. So I started one. (Excuse the quality, I'm having a bad time.)<br />

I'm going to convert something as a tractor for them, so it's off to the model shop for a sheet of plasticard.<br />
<br />
I also have a design for the limber and crew, although a couple hae lost their heads to other conversions.<br />
<br />
Anyway, onwards and upwards.<br />

Well worth the read if you haven't before. However it takes a bit of prior military knowledge and can get a bit complex and confusing at times. It's worth the read and I fancy doing a similar account for a VCBW conflict.<br />

Once they're dry, I'll tart them up with some black spray and flick some brighter reds & yellows.<br />

Back at it tomorrow, with luck more VBCW goodness at the weekend.<br />

Take care out there.<br />

Wanted to some gaming or some modelling and couldn't get around to it. The training job is getting less training and more battling with the management and pastoral. Why do adults pass on their problems and not take responsibility for themselves? My alternate skills as a cellar man have been in demand as my club's manager packed in expectantly leaving us in the lurch. So it's all hands to the pumps (quite literally).<br />
<br />
Anyway to relax I thought I'd lay some roads. So here they are.<br />

I managed to get some time, let's see if it gets finished in time!<br />
<br />
'B' Company LPR (<a href="http://lrqan2.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/b-company-loyal-paneer-rifles.html" target="_blank">http://lrqan2.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/b-company-loyal-paneer-rifles.html</a>) have been ordered to secure three farms on the Fosse Way, in an attempt to secure the Crown Jewels. Blue.<br />
<br />
The Anglican League (St. John's Company) are on routine a training exercise, with the area's local Socialist Militia in the same area. Red.<br />
<br />
Bring on the fireworks!<br />
<br />
This evening I laid my gaming table, much to the chagrin of the youngest heir who had to clear up all his Lego. Sorted out all the gaming admin. I'm playing with<i> 'A World Aflame'</i> rules.<br />
<br />
As I am playing solo I drew up three strategies for each force, see previous posts. I rolled a d6 for each force in order to determine which route they would take.<br />

I was hoping to run my 38Fest15 game this Sunday but someone has booked a party in the club's room I was going to use. Damn.<br />
<br />
I'll try and get another quick skirmish in as I am missing my hobby. Life getting in the way again. However, all is not lost. It was my birthday this week and as well as a voucher for my local gaming store I got these:<br />

A nice troop of BUF tanks ready for the production line. So I may bring some armour to my Fest game. Every cloud has a silver lining.<br />

The Anglican League's (AL)Chester Brigade had taken a mauling by Lord Farndon's Cheshire Division. They had fallen back into the Wirral Peninsula to re-equip and recover, with help from the Liverpool Free State (LFS).<br />
<br />
Farndon's Division had moved into Chester and was now supported by the British Union of Fascists' (BUF), recently re-badged, 20th Legion. The former settled into patrolling the North Welch borders, retraining and recuperation, whilst the latter was sent to bottle up the AL Forces in the Wirral.<br />
<br />
A tentative front running from <i>Neston </i>on the River Dee to <i>Ellesmere Port</i> on the River Mersey formed and a cease-fire over the Christmas period held.<br />
<br />
2nd Cohort (Battalion); XXth Legion BUF (Northern) received the area of West Wirral as their Tactical Area of Responsibility (TAOR). Specifically a line running from <i>Neston</i>, through <i>Hinderton </i>to <i>Willaston </i>and the Divisional Boundary<br />
<br />
The Easter period saw an increase in patrolling activity.<br />

I have finally finished my Royalist company for the 38Fest2015 game.<br />
<br />
For your appraisal I present 'B' Company; 1st Battalion; The Loyal Paneer Rifles. Under command of Major Richard Beresford and his 2 i/c Matthew Rosewood. Havildar Major Amarjot Singh with '1' , '2' and '3' platoons commanded by Havildars: Dal Singh, Ranveer Singh and Baljit Kaal. (if anyone out there knows Sikh naming conventions and could correct any mistakes please do tell me.) I have given each platoon a Havildar commander as opposed to any higher rank, well, 'cause I can.<br />

All that's needed is to add their banners and they're ready for the off. So I'll be fighting the battle of Fosse Way, as requested, in May.<br />
<br />
<b>A very kind offer from Wayne (aka Shintokamikazie) at <a href="http://republictheirishwarofindependence.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://republictheirishwarofindependence.blogspot.co.uk</a> </b>is winging it's way across the Irish Sea which should speed up the fight. (NB his site and you tube video on building card models is well worth a visit <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVZlumhNycSDOJJkj3-RFjw" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVZlumhNycSDOJJkj3-RFjw</a> )<br />
<br />
Hope it is as sunny where you are as it is here, enjoy your weekend. Rugby semi-finals for me if I'm lucky.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by.<br />

There are a couple of interesting permutations here. Once the field is laid I may have to play more then one game.<br />
<br />
With these done and it being International TableTop Day I'm going to try and get in a quick 'Patrol' game. We'll see.<br />
<br />
Tally Ho.<br />
