AUTUMN BIG GAME 2019 REPORT (6)

 Meanwhile, back at Mortimer's Cross:

The Luctonians RFC move out purposefully. They have heard of Communists in the area, supported by
Boy Scouts and "some yellow clad blighters" - possibly cricketers or dart players. The Luctonians "are
having none of that, mate", and their Exploding Rugby Ball improvised mortar is promptly fused and readied..
The action at Mortimer's Cross, with Luctonians RFC top right. The Communists have stopped
a Cadbury's lorry and recruited a section of Cadbury's Commandos, who now flank the advance of
their Vickers VIB tank. Catapult waving Boy Scouts take cover behind the hedgeline along
the sunken lane, with the yellow Fyffes Motor Guard just visible to their left... 
The Cadbury's Commandos are duly ambushed by more Morris Men, being gradually wiped out.
"True Chocolate Soldiers" mutters Senior Captain Maynard. "Always thought they'd be flaky."
while the AA tank runs into trouble, confronted both by a highly experienced section of Soviet trained
sticky bombers (the very same who disposed of Sir Alan McGuffin's armoured vehicle, see blogposts
 passim) and a "Soviet Realist" film crew, anxious to record the encounter for the Presteigne People's
Cinema...
The diversion of the AA tank from the crossroads allows Farmer Roo to advance his own heavy armour,
a startling Armoured Flame Thrower! (this was Roo's entry for the 2019 Armoured Modelling
Challenge, using rules that he assured everyone were fair - as he had written them down
 on his own mobile phone. The advantages of Umpiring....)
Boom! The Soviet trained sticky bombers pull off another amazing success against the AA tank,
 and the film crew have all the cinema footage they need....
