... and as luddite so rightly says in they can be armed with all manner of weapons.

I've always rather liked the idea that the coppers are more interested in subduing and arresting 'wrong doers' in battle rather than killing them!

Peelers with clubs, shields and handcuffs as assault troops.   



Sgt. Plod: 'Right Dixon, those slovenly Reds over their behind the barricade are blocking the King's Highway in contravention of the Road Traffic Act.  Take your men up there and arrest them, there's a good chap'.

Cstbl Dixon: 'They've got rifles sir'.    *Glances nervously at his own weapons; a truncheon and handcuffs*

Sgt Plod: 'You have your orders Dixon'.

But short barreled, and semi-auto shotguns never get the licence.

One of the biggest growing shooting sports is practical shotgun, where 7 shot or even 10 shot are a common. Having just tried out one at my local club  I am just putting in for mine.  Been told there should be no problems with getting it.

Hi Leon, now the big move is sorted out any idea if these will be available in time for Sheffield?

Hopefully is probably the best answer at the moment!

First off, we've got some 'Jolly Good Chaps', with shotgun/hunting rifle/rifle:
Next up is a set of British Bobby's, all with rifles:
And bringing up the rear is an excellent set of Partizans, with will serve quite happily as French Resistance fighters as well.  These come with SMG or rifles:

Not at the moment unfortunately, they should have been moulded by now really, but with the move and trying to get the ACW & Falkland's ready, they've ended up on the back burner.  We've just moved the mould press into the unit as well, so we should be able to get going on a lot more moulds now.

[TheOlivant]

Looking forward to getting my hands on some of these...

Yeah, they're still in the drawer... 

Once we get past the ACW release at the start of July, and the Falkland's at the Birthday Bash, I'll try and get these jumped into the August releases.

Leon, are the partizans in production at all I couldn't find them anywhere when I looked for them.

Also, could I request more partizans / resistance, especially female partizans, as we don't have nearly enough of them. More troops on bicycles would be nice too.

Dave's done the mould for them, I think they'll be coming in the next batch of releases, in the French range I believe.

[Nick the Lemming]

Hurrah! When is the next batch of releases?

[Serotonin]

I bought the first Solway VBCW book when it first came out but have actually struggled to do anything with it, despite being very excited by it. I did have some sort of campaign idea that leant heavily on pulp fiction (not the film) and boys own adventures and would have involved Indiana Jones being working on behalf of the American government trying to prevent the British Union of Fascists from finding Excalibur under Glastonbury Tor, a mythical weapon that would make Mosley immortal and all powerful. It was going to have all sorts of protagonists including an aged Biggles etc, but like many of my daydreams never saw the light of day.

Saying that though I do have a hankering to make a local based on Bristol dock workers unions supported by Russian commisars.

[Leon]

Hurrah! When is the next batch of releases?

I'm hoping for the start of February at the moment, as long as nothing scuppers those plans!

[Nick the Lemming]

Don't get sick again Leon! Keep away from anyone who seems enplaguened!

Any chance the partizans will be available for York? If not can any one suggest some codes I could use for mill workers for AVBCW? Looking to use Osprey's World Aflame, initialy looking at 30 figures a side so a variety of poses would be nice.

Thanks in advance.

Martin.

They should be, if you pop a list through of anything else you need as well, we'll get it all sorted out.

[UZero]

Thanks Leon, will be submitting order in next day or so.
