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.

Fascist Punch Up.....Two Arrested - A Mean Streets Tabletop Game in 28mm.

            Violence Erupts After Communist Meeting Ends.

Our reporters were on the scene yesterday when a punch up occured in Hobbs Street, it all began (as it usually does) quietly with passers by listening to the respective speakers.

In Hobbs Park Communist leader Beatrice Smollitt was captivating her audience with a "down with everything" speech, whilst in Hobbs Street BUF speaker Annie Sprockett regaled her audience with a "it's their fault not ours" speech from a loudspeaker van.

The Communist meeting was brought to an end and the small procession made its way up Station Road and onto the High Street followed by the police, several onlookers and our intrepid reporters.

On the corner of Hobbs Street next to The Britannia pub trouble was brewing, the Communist procession was now in view of the Fascist meeting, both speakers Smollitt and Sporckett egged their followers on.

The fighting was short and brutal with one Blackshirt being knocked out and the Communists breaking through before the police could react.

Beatrice Smollitt was told to go away, which she did with young Henry the Daily Worker seller in the van and two Communists were arrested. The two Communists who broke through ran up against young Betty (the BUF newspaper seller) on their way to the alleyways and freedom, she tried her jujitsu moves but was pushed aside, luck was not on her side today!

Back at the Communist HQ in Wells Street Beatrice Smollitt thanked her boys for a grand day out and arranged a whip-round to pay the fines for the missing comrades, back in Hobbs Street new BUF speaker Annie Sprockett was interviewed by the Hobbs End Gazette.
