THE WAR ILLUSTRATED No.2: SECOND BATTLE OF SHOBDON

3. SHOBDON AIRFIELD


Shobdon Airfield on the "west table". Commander Queeg of the BUF has been entrusted by Senior Captain Maynard with defence of this vital installation against Communist aggression. Subject to the dice gods, Shobdon Airfield
may expect reinforcements throughout the Big Game, including the all important "transport planes" (for those
"Very Important Chests"



Off Table Reinforcements for Commander Queeg - 3 Transport Planes, 2 Fighter Bombers, and the King's
own Dragon Rapide (with Royal Party). The accompanying flight stands, explosion markers,
and "deep hole in the earth" marker provide for all D6 contingencies.

4. SHOBDON INSTRUCTIONAL CENTRE

Shobdon Instructional Centre on the "east table". Some VIP Prisoners can be seen returning from a work detail
at the rear gates of the Instructional Centre (or are they?) while a BUF Armoured Car guards the main entrance.
The VIP Prisoners and Instructional Centre are under the able command of Major Sir James Barleycorn MC
Major Sir James Barleycorn MC's Armoured Car Detachment (and command car) loiter in the adjoining village
of Little Shobdon. What can they be doing there, rather than defending the Instructional Centre? A passing
cyclist receives no reply to this pressing question.
