The "games of espionage" within Little Hereford would not be complete without an undercover NKVD "Intelligence Section" -

| An undercover NKVD section, dedicated to the cause of International Communism. |
This "Intelligence Section" breaks the previous rule (see HERE and HERE) of "5 mono-pose Agents and 1 unique Leader", instead painting the figures in a unit "get-up" but having a very obvious Leader. While a brief look suggests that the "Intelligence Agents" consist of only two poses, this is a result of the NKVD's obvious reliance on "false beards" and "camouflage capes". All of the "Intelligence Agents" are, in fact, subtly different.
The Leader (28mm Empress ?) carries a SMG and waves "The Big Red Book of Bill", being the collected thoughts upon Marxism of Comrade Colonel Professor "Bill" Winter, the Leader of the Presteigne Communist Front. His heavily bearded companions (RAFM/Grenadier ?) are variants of the same pose, one carrying a suitcase and pistol, the other being empty handed. As to the rear rank....
...they each model the 1938 Communist "camouflage cape", two carrying sinister syringes and one being "at ease" (again RAFM/Grenadier/Ral Partha figures?). All of these "Intelligence Agents" are "old but good sculpts" collected over time and now "truffled from the spare figures box". Just goes to prove that most 28mm figures can be used in the VBCW somehow.....
