Ben shouted to George "With me!" then turning to the rest he said "Provided suppressing fire. Use everything you've got!" They opened with such a strong amount of fire it blew into cover and created a hail of dust. He signalled to two other men from the squadron and they ran. He cut behind the BUF with his men and then advanced down the street the BUF had been on. He ran down until he saw the BUF in the street and he signalled for them to take cover. There were five BUF men but they hadn't noticed the welsh. They were outnumbered but had the element of surprise. He silently motioned for George and the others to raise their Tommy guns, The other two had bolt actions rifles. He fired and one fell. George loosed of a burst and missed as did one of the other two. "Drop your weapons or we fire again. And we won't miss next time." he said "You can't win this time."

OOC: Zemmy, when you say 'street that the BUF were on, i presume you mean the street that my reinforcements marched down, iwell the only BUF on that street are my character and four others, the rest of the BUF are sheltering in the buildings, so going by your account i am at a total of -2 men in my group.

What? They never entered buildings. I'm confused here. I'll edit my post now with that knowledge. This is just getting confusing now. Also what do you think of the new rp

Mass confusion. The Maxim gun firing, the marksmen trying to get a good bead on their targets, and the supporting rifle fire raged in the square. Fulton ran about the chaos monitoring the men. They had to hold the enemy off, or else that explosives wagon... He didn't want to think about it. Fortunately the enemy was bringing the fight up a side street. With any hope they wouldn't notice the fast approaching wagon...

Ben saw the wagon and swore. He ran and jumped into a building leaving the BUF to their fate. He saw the others follow. They poked their heads out the window and prepared to fight again with their rifles up.

(OOC: Zemmy, haven't had time to look at your new RP yet, but will do as soon as possible. anyway, i did actually say that the BUF were falling back into the buildings;
Richard watched as the welshmen opened fire into the square, the BUF forces were falling back into the buildings.
problem solved.)

Ignoring the Welshmen, Richard ran across the street and into the nearest building, with Simon, Michael and the other BUF trooper behind him.
he took up position at the nearest window,
Richard looked outside, whoever was in the butchers shop was putting up a bloody good fight, and the square was still filled with bullets from the BUF, Welsh, and whoever was in the butchers shop.
as he looked on, Richard could see a small wagon that was rolling down a side-street towards the square. it was painted blue. Anglicans!

(Tigermite, They actually set the cart off rolling down the hill towards us.... This is why we ran for cover.)

(OOC: Sorry for bogging things down. Just so you know the wagon is a transport wagon carrying explosive supplies. It's trying to get through town unharmed. So just to let you guys know its contents should not be identified, its nationality can be identified, and it is horse drawn with a driver and one guard. If you want to attack it accidentally or on purpose feel free to, they're supplies as far as you know.)

The wagon was drawing closer. Fortunately the fighting seemed to be going down a different street. Fulton hoped the enemy would continue acting as they were.

Ben swore, It was a supply wagon. The Anglicans ( he could tell by the blue colour) could not be allowed to get the supplies and us it as mobile cover. He thought "If this is where I'm going to die,I'll die fighting." and charged. He fired his gun at the wagon and hit two of it's wheels. He kept on running at it. Bullets where flying all around him. One of the other squadron's men went down. A bullet grazed his shoulder and he stumbled. George let out a burst of fire. Ben now fired as he ran as well. They had nearly reached the wagon. George was hit in the head. He went down clearly dead. The last man with him was struck in the shoulder and dropped his gun and drew his pistol. They reached the wagon together and Ben jumped in to see tons of explosives. Sticks of Dynamite. He had an idea. He fumbled and pulled out his matches. He lit a stick, picked it up and leant out and lobbed it towards a building where the fascists were hiding. It rolled in front and blew up. He lit another stick and then chucked it into the square just in front of the butchers shop. The driver suddenly appeared in front of them but the squadron member shot him twice with the pistol. Things were beginning to go their way.

there was a massive explosion in front of the house Richard was in, all the windows were blown out, debris was scattered everywhere, Richard couldn't hear anything, his ears had been filled with white noise, he looked around, Simon and Michael seemed to be shaken but okay, as did one of the BUF trooopers, the other BUF trooper however, was not so lucky, he was lying on the floor screaming and writhing, he had been hit by several massive shards of glass, which had embedded themselves in his chest.
Richard looked back out the window, there was another explosion outside the butchers shop, the firing coming from there stopped abruptly.
Richard's hearing was coming back now, he could hear the BUF trooper's screams, the crackle of rifle fire coming from the other buildings held by the remnants of the Fascist reinforcements, and two pistol shots coming from the wagon.
Wagon? what wagon? oh, the Anglican wagon, but what was it carrying?
Richard stood up and rumbled around in the debris for his rifle. when he eventually found it, he turned to his men.
"Simon, Michael, come with me, you," he pointed to the BUF trooper. "stay here with him." he pointed to the screaming BUF trooper. "let's move!" he ordered.
Richard, Simon and Michael dashed through the wide open doorway and across the street. they had to find out what was in the wagon.

"Cease fire!" Some maniacs had somehow managed to board the supply wagon and were starting to throw explosives from it. Fortunately in the chaos of the battle the driver had not noticed and was going along. As the marksmen rushed to a position where they could fire on the wagon the unthinkable happened. The driver turned left his reins and tackled the men who were on his cart, they immediately killed him. Fulton yelled, "Holten, Haley! Shoot the horses!" Two shots rang out and the steeds collapsed. The wagon overran their carcasses and with a bump threw off one of the men that boarded it. Fulton looked, the cart was racing towards a pike fence. He held his breath as the wagon collided. Fortunately there was no detonation...

They cart bucked and rolled. Ben swore for the twentieth time that day. He lit another dynamite stick and this time threw it at the butchers shop. It rolled to the door and exploded right on the doorstep. He wasn't going to run out of matches any time soon thankfully.

Richard ran across the village square heading towards the wagon, which had just crashed into a nearby fence, from what he could make out, there was a small group of the lunatic Welshmen lobbing dynamite wherever they fancied.
there was a Welshman lying on the ground a few feet away, he was groaning in pain. must be the one that got thrown off the wagon.
as he reached him, Richard pointed his Enfield rifle at the man's head and pulled the trigger.
the Welshman stopped moaning as the bullet hit home.
Richard pulled back the bolt on his rifle and carried moving forwards.
suddenly there was gunfire coming from the wagon, the Welsh had spotted him!

Ben swore. Another man down. Just him and one more left. He saw the man execute his soldier and felt extreme rage. He lit the stick of dynamite and chucked it. It fell short and blew up in the mans face but didn't kill him. He lit a second stick and chucked it at the man. This time it rolled next to the man's foot. There was nothing he could do.

Richard was blown off his feet as the stick of dynamite exploded a yard or so in front of him, he was blown down onto the grass, as had Michael, but Simon meanwhile had not been so lucky, he was blown to smithereens.
another stick of dynamite exploded by the remnants of the village sign.
Richard managed get up onto his knees. he aimed his rifle at the two remaining Welshmen in the wagon, he fired and one of them ducked.
Michael stood up and ran towards the wagon.
Richard fired again. janother miss.
as Michael neared the wagon he fired his shotgun and it's pellets covered the wagon, one of the Welshman clutched at his leg and fell onto his knees.

Ben swore as his last man went down. He drew his pistol and shot both men. One was in the heart and the other in the hand, the one left alive had to surrender or die trying. The BUF trooper alive was to badly injured.

Richard swore as Michael was shot, then swore even louder as a bullet passed through his left hand, he dropped his rifle, with his right hand, Richard pulled out his butchers knife and ran towards the last Welshman, the man fired, but the shot missed and hit the road. Richard rammed the Welshman with all his strength, knocking him to the ground.

Ben and the BUF trooper grappled when Ben was saved. Max and Thomas ran up and took aim. Ben kicked the BUF man off and rolled away. "You move and you die. Simple as." Then he grabbed another stick of dynamite and lit it. This one went through the window of the butchers shop.
