A Vicious Fight In Park Road - A Mean Streets Tabletop Game in 28mm.

                      A Vicious Fight In Park Road

As predicted political violence has once again erupted in Hobbs End, last week two Blackshirts were hospitalised by an unknown gang, the mystery of who they were is now over.

Trouble started when the local BUF decided to sell their ephemera on Park Road, their presence was noted and swiftly acted upon. 

Moving quickly through the park, the same gang as last week had one intention, cause as much disruption as possible and get out before the police arrive. However, the Blackshirt newspaper sellers had seen them coming and a plan was about to be enacted. Waiting in the next street was a van full of "1 Division" Blackshirts hoping their enemy would take the bait.

As soon as the gang entered Park Road the Blackshirt van drove around the corner and the fight was on! It was sharp and brutal, two Blackshirts hit the ground immediately, these men were professional fighters.

Even with superior numbers the Fascists were outclassed, several more of them were knocked out, and it seemed that soon they may have to beat a humiliating retreat!

With the wail of a siren the police arrived, and just in time too. They were confronted with a street full of black eyes, split lips and concussion. With the arrival of an ambulance the wounded were taken away, four Blackshirts and two Communists (mystery solved) were hospitalised, and two Blackshirts and two Communists  were arrested.

With the local election being recently called Mr Smollitt and the Communist Party don't need this kind of publicity, the Fascist Party are not putting a candidate up this time, they told us that will have to wait until next time. So far the only parties on the ballot sheet will be Labour, the Conservatives and the Communist Party.

Renewed Violence In Hobbs End - A Mean Streets Tabletop Game in 28mm.

 

                   Renewed Violence In Hobbs End - Blackshirts Attacked!

The weekly outside Sunday service in Hobbs Park was going very well, and the sermon by the Rev. Harris was in full swing when a certain element started heckling, it was obvious that they were looking for trouble.

The group of ruffians soon noticed a couple of Blackshirts hanging around the junction of Park Road and Station Road. Seeing a better kind of sport than heckling the local vicar, they decided to rush the Fascists and give them a roughing up.

The Blackshirts were caught completely unawares and one of them was knock out immediately, with four assailants attacking him the other Blackshirt had his hands full, blows rained down but for a while he held his own.

The police had been summoned and an ambulance was on its way!

The remaining Fascist did his best but he eventually joined his comrade, unconscious on the ground. The mounted police were moving in fast, so the attackers made a hasty escape down the alleyways towards Wells Street, where, coincidently, the headquarters of the Communist Party are located.

The two men should make a full recovery, but the damage is done, reprisals will probably follow. We have seen this tit for tat violence before, now the local BUF have a new commander we may see an upsurge in their activity, we doubt we've seen the last of this scourge.

Planned Communist March is attacked! - A Mean Streets Tabletop Game in 28mm.

             Trouble in Drovers Road as Communists March

The planned march by the Hobbs End Communist Party almost went off without a hitch, the organisers Harry and Beatrice Smollitt, praised the police for their prompt action. At 10.30 sharp the procession made its way up the High Street with Harry in the back of the lorry.

Moving up the High Street the procession instilled both apathy and curiosity in the passers by and a degree of annoyance in the usual Saturday morning motorists. Soon they appeared in Drovers Road.

It was while the Communists were progressing down Drovers Road that several Blackshirts were noticed loitering at the end of the road.

With very malicious intentions towards the Communist banner the Blackshirts braced themselves for a very uneven fight. Charging forwards the Blackshirts relied on the narrow street and surprise to carry the attack through.

The Communist banner soon went down and so did a Blackshirt! With police and Communists closing in on all sides the Blackshirts were overwhelmed, they were quickly arrested and an ambulance was called for their fallen comrade.

With the Fascist threat taken care of the procession got back on track, at least the folks in the pub had a bit of entertainment and the Magistrate will bring in a bit of revenue when he fines three Blackshirts on Monday.
