Bushwars Day!


This from Agency France-Presse's reporter on the spot,
M. Russell Charles

Croydon RSL
Dateline: 23 November

Tempers boil over in Imaginafrica. 
 
After weeks of simmering tension, sweaty armpits, trash talk, paint on paint action, dubious modelling options and other stuff the temperature hit peak.

Armed conflict broke out in a potent display of flexible military capacity and the joy of plastic. Troops and vehicles went at each without the blessings of the rain. It was “Toto” trouble.

The significance of the international tension surrounding the gripping martial atmosphere was further highlighted by the seeming endless conferences of otherwise busy but tireless diplomats engaged in mumbo jumbo conducted on a grand scale. 
 
The highest principles of martial loyalty were on display as the Lords of War (Uncle Les and Brian Roberts) were on hand to meet any last minute armaments needs.
In particular, many a fledgling dictator was tempted by the submarine nuclear missile launch option but all had pledged a domestic budget surplus and held back.

Zebras got a run. 
Scenery was suitably organic and sustainable but the forces were not and the dice reigned brutality down in improbable ways. 
 
Our intrepid correspondent braved life and limb to capture some of the action.

UMGAWALAND HISTORY 18th Century 1748 - Sir Humphrey Luxury-Yacht (late of Cholmondeley, Cheshire, England) of the East India Trading Company landed in Botungo Bay and established a trading outpost. Initial commodities for trade were bananas, coconuts, sugar and spices. 1750 - Because of population expansion at the EITC Botungo Bay trading post, a charter was granted to found a city and the name was changed to New Cholmondeley (in honour of Sir Humphrey's birth place). 1799 - The first coffee crop was planted, which would eventually lead to greater wealth generated in the colony. 19th Century 1808 - During the Napoleonic Wars, French privateers sought to wreak havoc on maritime trade along the eastern coast of Imagiafrica. One French ship, the "Blaireau en Colère", ran aground just south of New Cholmondeley. The crew was captured by the local militia. The French sailors must have enjoyed their captivity, describing it as "rather pleasant". Many stayed,...

Pihkáland Pilots Go Into Battle

  Khenefrian aircraft recently tried to strike at the bridge over the Limpoko River in Duloc. Border tensions have simmered between the two counties after Duloc attacked and killed bandits hiding across the border with Me-262 fighter bombers. This led to retaliation when Khenefrian F-100 attacked and destroyed a passenger train in Duloc killing over fifty civilians. Not satisfied with this the Khenefrians have tried again. As the Khenefrian air force failed to keep their four F-100s serviceable they turned to China for support. The CCP supplied J-7s and J6 fighters and fighter bombers and also supplied the technical support to keep the planes in the air. Indeed some of the pilots that took part in the raid may have been Chinese instructors.   Luckily for Duloc two Pihkálander Skyhawks were training with two Duloc flown Drakens in the area. These air craft intercepted the raid and The Lieutenant Golmoko from the KP air force shot down two enemy fighter bombers. The now ace Capt...

F-100 fail

  Grey Water recently sent a strong air contingent to support Ahmmesia in its ongoing conflict with Kalemnitka. The Kalemnitkan air force has been very active lately flying a Badger aircraft over Zeebia to join its armed forces. Now it has also sent Fiat G.91 reconnaissance planes, escorted by MiG-21s to photograph Ahmnesian positions near the border.   Two F100s and two F5As from the Grey Water intercepted these planes and a dog fight ensued. During the action a Kalemnitkan MiG-21 was damaged as was a Fiat G.91. However in return a F-100 was crippled, forcing the pilot to eject. An F-5A was also damaged.   Eight missiles were fired and none hit a target. Six failed to work properly and two missed completely. The F-100s seemed to have difficulty with their gun sights constantly missing well flown Fiats, even at close range.   Grey Water pilots have complained about the change to the new machines, preferring their old Skyhawks, especially after the success of the Pihk...
