So plans may change but it’s looking like the Belgian Expeditionary force (the platoon featuring every single famous Belgian and 34 ordinary soldiers) has landed at Middlesbrough docks and linked up with the local Teesside bon viveurs and prolific intelligentsia in order to move south across the Moors and seize the chocolate production centres in York.

I think we should all have a secret objective that only Simon knows and that earns bonus points if achieved. Like maybe you receive a unit of BEF Gateway Cavalry as a reward?

I’m pretty sure the scenarios will have personal and team objectives. No one deserves to have to command the Gateway cavalry though. not even EB. They do have lovely flags though.

Tempting though it is to bring my airship i'm being worryingly conventional, perhaps because i'm scared of getting one of GMs 'looks'!

I've noted the reference to the detailed QRS. Git.
Why would you think that was aimed at you ?...
Hmmmmmm.
Which is not the same as saying that it wasn't.

Building a back story is going to be a big part of the fun for this. I'm sure Simon can come up with a good reason for Hercule Poirot's Own to get involved. My lot neatly divide into sections, The driver's & conductors form one section, the maintenance team are another and the Soviet sailors are offering fraternal support and a Maxim gun.
My commanders were radicalised during service in Russia in 1919 and others are veterans of the SCW International Brigade. That gives a neat explanation for the presence of Consuela Biddlestone, former anarchist sniper and wife of Inspector Wilf Biddlestone.

BTW, is anyone going to take Fascists?

So Tin-Tin, Monsieur Poirot and Plastic Betrand then?

Some background on York's Chocolate factories. Strategic resources if there ever was such a thing. https://mediafiles.thedms.co.uk/Publica ... teCity.pdf
