Background

It is May Day weekend, 1938 in the sleepy village of Ayton.

Unbeknown to the inhabitants going about their daily fetishes erm rituals erm no.. chores, the village and its surrounding area have become strategically important to commanders of two of the major sides in the eruption of civil unrest across the realm.

The Royal High Command have tasked the commander of the local militia (NADGER), to rally support with sympathisers and ensure possession of key objectives that control the main routes between Scarborough and York, thereby ensuring that the King will be able to travel for a morale-boosting donkey ride photo shoot for the Daily Mail on the beach during the forthcoming Whitsun Bank Holiday.

As local area commander, Burton Coggles put out a call for the bravest, fiercest warriors aligned to the King's cause. Since they were unavailable the following militias have gathered to carry out his orders to the best of their ability;

Northern Auxiliary Defence Group (Eastern Region), NADGER
Bury Unionist Militia, BUM
Local Scarborough Constabulary (Violent Section)
East Yorks Motor Services and allies
HM Royal Navy
Plus rumours of a Scottish mobile intervention force (assuming they aren't distracted going past the Irn Bru and Tunnocks factories)


The North Yorkshire branch of the Republican Workers Dietary Policy Bureau have similarly identified the region with strategic significance. The plan is to establish a supply chain of alternative lifestyle foodstuffs between Scarborough harbour and the sweets and chocolate factories in York. It is essential that the main roads from Scarborough are kept open to allow the free flow of hummus to the proletariat.

Chairman Mauve of the Vegan Alliance Group has been ordered to mastermind the seizure of key objectives. His assembled forces represent a the whole range of military capability from amateur to incompetent.

Vegan Alliance Group (VAG)
Bury Regional Association of Police Officers (BRA-PO)
The Gateshead Curry Company
The Burgraviate of Altefritzenburg
Belgian Expeditionary Force
South Wales Borderers Re-enactment Society


Both armies have strict instructions to avoid civilian casualties or damage to personal property or buildings. The support of the local population will be crucial in the coming months.

I'll let you guys decide quite why your force decided to enlist with its appropriate faction - feel free to share here.

Fantastic Simon! We’ll put them all to the sword/truncheon/politically correct nasty weapon of your choice

Allow me to introduce myself, I am Sir Tristram Shirtlifter the former MP for the region. I won't go into the details but after various political manoeuvrings by the local council and their friends I was forced to resign my seat. At a loss what to do next I was fortunately approached by former army acquaintances from my days in India. We formed the Gateshead Curry Company, which in recent years has proved to be very popular (and highly profitable). This splendid company is staffed by sterling local chaps and former soldiers from my old regiment. Our aims are simple, to introduce our fine cuisine to the area and also shutting down existing eateries to improve our profits. Furthermore, I expect a written apology from the Ayton town council and my old seat restored. If our demands are not met, well the locals and other hostile forces aligned with them can expect a Vindaloo enema or two.

Probably the best paragraph

Oooh! I can stick my Lances in Jeremy's BUM!

[Jeremy]

You’ll have to get in line for people wanting to ram my BUM Gary

[levied troop]

Baaaaahhhh, hurrrrrupmh!
We won’t be standing for this sort of thing, whatever it is.
All good people will be right behind me, ooops, sorry about that, where was I?
Ah, yes, standing. Well let me tell you, in the whole of human history, and I think I speak, indeed I do, we will support wholeheartedly and indubitably and frequently, without backsliding as we take the machete of freedom to the brambles of neo-colonial communist fro-fro foppery, that’s what the people, some of them at least, of this great village want to achieve. Tally ho, Yippertty-Bap and Zing Zang Spillip. In the words of Disraeli I have had a damn fine meat pie and we are going to make a titanic success of it. Whatever it is and wherever it is and it is a fact, is it not, that walking firmly into the teeth of a numerically superior enemy, waving our medals, will win the day, if not the whole week and I know my wife agrees. Mostly. Frequently. NO CONFUSION! Hurrrunmmph!! And indeed Baaaah!!

Excellent job Goatmajor!

I shall post my decree in due time but can LT have some sort of disadvantage for simply lifting his from Boris Johnson.

[MarshalNey]

Damn that Coggles, the scoundrel - someone has passed our plans on to him.
