Whiskey/Hotel game 2019 - Day 1.

[Tim Hall]

With EB stepping down from VBCW I would welcome at least a day in sunny not-Africa. If the Rhodies don't fit with what's ultimately intended it is possible that the thorn in Rhodelelands side, 'Bishop' Dennis N'Duna might be hiding out with his followers, somewhere in Kumbayah.

I might be able to convince Ken to do a day of Trojan Rampant too if that was suitable for Day 2?

I was thinking of the name "Hoplite Rampant" for your project Paul.

[Buff Orpington]

You know that arms race we aren't having?
This is for when we have one


Maybe we should restrict airstrikes to people who bring aircraft

[tim.w]

Already been looking for Canberra's and Hunters. Maybe the odd old MiG?

Personally I may go for 1/72 for aircraft purely on availability and cost. Though I'd say helicopters should be very roughly to scale. Though it doesn't really matter, the smaller the scale the further away.. as in Father Ted.

Been shopping this morning and there are some Rhodeland reinforcements on the way via Eureka UK. Though they may well be just any generic Europan mercs who tooled up in South Africa to come and help U'Tumbi get back into power.

Indeed. Probably a big mistake but I'm thinking of doing both VBCW and Trojan Rampant.

not[/i] go for an arms race overkill.

Nicely edited. I hope you appreciate how we were all letting it slide, though.
We knew what you meant.

For the record, I plan to upgrade my existing forces from ‘Irregulars’ to ‘Regulars’ - since the lads done good, and we seem to have a sudden surplus of National Guard uniforms - and to buy them jeeps.

That’s the extent of Comrade General President N’Dahwehlahweh’s militaristic ambitions.

The relative paucity of my forces was one of the factors that made me look to do deals.
I think if we go balls-out on force building, it’ll turn into a different game altogether.
I hate to be the one to take the lid off this box, but going forward we might need a p****s s****m at some stage.

[Paul]

The Rhodies are done, I won't be adding to them. (Not sure if we really need to have aircraft models, other than for scenery, but I might add those if needed.)
That's why I'll be turning my attention to Bishop N'Duna and his henchman Arch Deacon Wiska N'Zoda, they'll be much like Norms forces from this year plus a bit of transport (I've got my eye on a 1970's transit van!). They might also get a technical or two but that's it.

[Norman D. Landings]

What? How come this N’Duna chump’s your guy all of a sudden?
I thought I was your guy.
You’ve changed, man. You used to be cool.

[Paul]

N'Duna is an enemy of Rhodeleland and leader of the WAPPU politcal group.
Rhodelelnad will always support their guy in the big house, many Russians died so that they could.

[Norman D. Landings]

True. Tragically, yet hilariously true.

Bishop N’Duna is welcome back in Kumbayah anytime he likes.

To answer charges pertaining to his time in charge of the Essextown orphanage.

He is currently in hiding in the Peoples Democratic Republic of Gange, which Borders Rhodeleland, having had to leave his post in the PDRG Govt. as Minister in charge of Religious Genocide, due to financial irregularities. However N'Duna has considerable popular support in the country and is able to launch cross border attacks on Rhodeleland without Gange military involvement.
