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.

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...

What dangers lurk in the Dark Continent?

What horrors lurk in the uncharted depths of Imagiafrica? Strange creatures, that can only be described as "supernatural" in nature, stalk through the night. Where do they come from? Few know, and fewer survive encounters to learn more.   Mummies! Marching from the deserts of the North, these ancient monsters shamble forth to reclaim what was once the mighty Egyptian Empire!   Zoinks! G-g-g-ghosts! Restless spirits that haunt the spaces they were killed, scaring away interlopers with mournful cries.  And perhaps the most terrifying of all; Morris Dancers! Once normal men, these strange, sad creatures that announce their coming with jingling bells. Don't get too close, or you may find yourself unable to escape! Naturally, these figures are just for a bit of fun and won't be taking part in too many games, the Mummies and Ghosts I got for free from work and just happened to be 20mm.

Tikada and Vlesadwassa strike back at MAMAA bases.

VINE reports that, after a severe amount of provocation by MAMAA (Freedom fighters from the land of beauty), Tikada and Vlesadwassa have launched an attack across the border into 'Ard Aljamal. Initial reports claim that several of the MAMAA bases near the 'Ard Aljamal have been destroyed.   The government of 'Ard Aljamal has condemned the attacks as “absolutely unwarranted and a violation of a neighbouring state's sovereignty”. A number of VINE correspondents (attached to both Vlesadwassan and Tikadan forces) have sent back accounts showing MAMAA rebels and 'Ard Aljamal government troops fighting side-by-side.  Several of the rebel bases have fallen. Information recovered from one of these bases has led the combined armed forces further into 'Ard Aljamal, in order to “clean out”. Tikada armed forces are in the forefront of the operations, with significant assistance from the Vlesadwassan Air Force. Below: A Tikadan Army vehicl...
