Church of England Battlewagon





Church of England Prime Mover for towing a gun and transporting dragoons.

Olive-geen galvanised iron has been welded over the open-topped truck to provide protection against strafing by Spode's Blackshort fighters, in direct contravaention of Archbishop Cosmo Lang's order that the Forces of Canterbury cathedral should eschew camouflage as cowardly and showing a heretical lack of faith in divine protection.

  1. As painted I don't think it violates Archbishop Lang's order unless it is exclusively being driven through the wetlands of your fair land. Any room on the galvanized iron for a bit of mocking graffito if the Blackshort fighters are ever overhead or is that just not proper?

  2. Dear Pagumb
    I don't think a gentleman could tolerate graffiti on his battlewagon, particularly when it has been sanctified by the Archbish himself.

    1. Too true. My oafish colony upbringing shining through I'm afraid. :)
