In this game the brave Communist/Socialist allies were attempting to stop the King's mistress making it to the station where she was due to be whisked off to safety by an approaching train.

As always with VBCW games the fun is in fielding wierd and wonderful units: in our game a rag-tag assortment of Fascists were confronted by a combination of the Postal Workers Union, Cornish Fishermen and my flying column which had headed south from Lanarkshire, consisting of miners, Cameronians and some of Hamilton Academicals finest all armed to the teeth.

Sadly the King's mistress made it by the skin of her teeth, speeding off on a passing locomotive and leaving much devastation and destruction in her wake. The game prompted lots of discussion about new factions for our collective armies and has made me think I ought to add some more troops to mine.
Excellent period , full of fun and quirky colour. Have you tried the rules Went the Day Well by any chance?
