The Local Scot commander has learned that a BUF contingent has arrived to hold a conference with the Laird, a suspected BUF supporter. A plan was hastily put together to roll up the whole bunch. The attackers would consist of a Crosley Armored Car; a Lowland section with Platoon leadership; and a HMG troop; supported by three local militia sections...
The defenders consisted of a Rolls Royce AC; three BUF sections, and the Lairds' personal bodyguard section...
