I have finished a 12 unit army of Spodes Blackshorts: mechanised platoon.
Spode, Viscount of Sidcup and would be dictator of Britain, is able to acquire the very best equipment from Mosley's BUF. To whit:
Command Section: Strike Leader Egbert 'Eggy' Phipps-Prinkle with standard bearer, radio-man, and Jaguar command vehicle.
Three Storm Sections each of: Storm Leader with Tommy Gun, VB grenade launcher, bren-gun team and four riflemen.
Support Weapons: Two inch mortar, and bren-gun team.
Artillery: 18 pdr medium howitzer with bren-gun armed van serving as a prime mover.
Open-Topped armoured lorry with fire ports to lift a storm section.
Improvised armoured car with bren-gun.
Vickers 6 ton light tank armed with a 3pdr light howitzer and a coaxial mg.
Hornet medium C tank armed with a 6pdr naval medium anti-tank gun, various mgs and the platoon mascot spot.
I think you will agree that these will present a fearsome challenge to the Chatham Soviet
A dangerous bunch to be sure. Love the insignias on the vehicles. I am confident that the Peoples' Soviet of Chatham can repel them in the name of the Revolution.
ReplyDeleteRight on. comrade.
DeleteEspiecally if they are able to sow dissension in the pants with knowledge of Spode's private business arrangements!
ReplyDeleteEulalie Soeurs!
DeleteExcellent collection of oddities!
ReplyDeleteI love the unusual.
DeleteI love the dog on top of the tank! A really nice looking force you have there old chap:)
ReplyDeleteSpot is the platoon mascot. He's a water spaniel, you know.
DeleteSlightly too many vehicles for my liking but there is no vehicle I would do without. They all look Smashing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Clint. The Soviet are more on foot.
DeleteGood to see the British knee on the march once more!
ReplyDeleteSpode's policies include giving each citizen at birth a British–made bicycle and umbrella, widening the rails of the entire British railway network, so sheep may stand sideways on trains, the banning of the import of foreign root-vegetables and the compulsory, scientific measurement of all male knees.
DeleteHuzzah! A fearsomely knobbly crew indeed.
ReplyDeleteThe British knee is strong, the British knee is muscular.
DeleteThis force totally needs a WW1 surplus Sopwith Camel or Snipe to act as a spotter to round out the ecclectiveness of it all
ReplyDeleteI have a Hawker Fury in progress!
DeleteLovely force!
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter
DeleteLooking smart.
ReplyDeleteSpode insists on neatness.
