The Liverpool Free State had stationed a reinforced infantry platoon as a tripwire to their main defenses within Liverpool (top of photo). A BUF force with a Vickers MkII and Matilda I tanks were sent to recon the best route to the city.
A small village located just outside of Liverpool, was garrisoned by socialist (left) and anarchist (right) squads and were approached by a regular BUF squad (bottom)...
The anarchists draw first blood...
Another BUF goes down, but the anarchists lose one as well...
The anarchists were feeling pretty optimistic...until that Vickers MkII showed up near their position!
Forced to fall back, they nevertheless downed two more BUF, but then lost one of their own. A BUF militia squad joins to the left of the line. (Note, you can just make out a Boys ATR to the anarchists right)...
As the anarchists continue to fall back, the defenders Armored truck races down the road and drops more BUF. The Vickers fires at point blank, and misses!
The action on the BUF left finally lights up as a Matilda I smashes through the hedges and enables its infantry support to move forward...
The AC is immobilized by the Vickers, which in turn is immobilized by a Boys ATR shot from the edge of town! The supporting BUF infantry take further losses and are routed from the field...
After taking numerous hits from the socialists to their flank, two BUF squads will continue their advance past the defenders and will reach the outskirts of Liverpool. Mission accomplished despite taking heavy casualties, 24-7!
