Efu-cho,Tottori prefecture

After a defeat in Egypt, EFU forces and Aku contractors retreat across the Suez before evacuation, covering their tracks and disabling irretrievable assets with barrages of missile strikes. Covered by an EFU intel/propagandist, an Aku tank squadron rendezvous with an EFU SAS squad, sharing intel on the mop-up.

 

Yes I will continue to make scenes with this tank. Pic of the technical coming soon.

East German Crisis - Germany, Lipsia Industrial district - 16.00 Hours

European Federated Union special forces are in the eye of the cyclone, Eurasian soldiers are moving quickly to the industrial part of the city.

Some EFU special forces soldiers placed explosive charges near an obligatory step in the east Industrial district, to try to slow the advance of Eurasian soldiers.

Now they are retreating back to the outpost where the tanks can move freely without hindrance.

Everything is going according to plans.

EFU Militarized presence in Algiers has been forced to grow as the Algierian national movement continues to build broader and broader support in the face of harsh international criticism of the EFU occupation. Yet as more soldiers pour into the costal cities the bomb threats and terrorism of the insurgency grow.

 

Pictured: EFU rapid response team responds to a hostage crisis before an IED inside the building lights the block up.

 

Love these visors

The meeting didn't go as it should go, AKU have no mercy, and they don't forgive whistleblowers who try to double-cross.

This whistleblower has spoken to some EFU (European Federal Union) component ,probably the worst decision he could make and AKU missed some good opportunities.

The AKU team has a new member with them and is already in action, the 2-legs drone At-Mter did the dirty job perfectly without any problem, now it's time to clean the scene for not to leave uncomfortable traces

Nato special forces have been alerted by EFU soldiers but everything is too peaceful,

on that road at that point had to find an important load but strangely there was nothing.

EFU squads are again in Swiss, after saved Mr. Sebastian Schmid, a very influential politician, they are looking for an infiltrator probably from the AKU partnership.

In the past, the Aku have already been stopped from their criminal intentions for control some areas in Swiss by EFU troopers and this time are ready to delete all the traces and all the infiltrators.

 

EFU Trooper: "We didn't find anyone on the top floor!"

 

EFU Incursor: "It has to be here, we have the wiretaps in hand, we mustn't let him get away!"

 

EFU Trooper: "Even downstairs there is no one and the black jeep is still parked there"

 

EFU Incursor: "I have a strange feeling, he must be hiding somewhere, we can't let him get away, keep your eyes open , he's a dangerous guy as far as we know and probably has with him some weapons, this time he will come with us... dead or alive, knows too much and has too much information and he's probably on the AKU partnership payroll"

Friction. Friction was the name of the game and the game was played by powers far above the common peoples of the world, let alone those living simple lives on the coastal towns of Greece. Eurasia had quietly occupied one of the oldest countries on the world stage, setting up heavy personnel concentrations along coastal towns and building a few airstrips in the few flat valleys that the Greek geography could offer. The occupation remained quiet until new faces started to appear in early 2038 and NATO informants grew jittery. They looked like intelligence units but they certainly weren't Eurasian. The vast majority of the Eurasian infantry in this European theater was comprised of the Russians with a few Chinese officers; these supposed intelligence units were speaking Japanese. Life for the informants was simple like the rest of the citizens; eat, pray, work, rest, family time, repeat. The Eurasian soldiers took a liking to the quiet nature of the occupation as any kind of civil unrest with the citizens would result in immediate media coverage, NATO responses, and way too much paper work. An encouraged harmony with the populace resulted more so in friction among the soldiers. On many occasions, the Russian infantry were publicly reprimanded for going to church by their Chinese officers. Russia has remained in an athiest state but for the Orthodox Christians of Russia that went on practicing in homes and small, private venues, this was finally an escape to openly practice their faith with other people. There was a genuine sense of neighborly love as the occupation went on between the Russians and Greeks. It was an occupation force that traditionally bashed around the peoples of conquered lands, but Greece was dignified, ancient, and located on the fragile frontier between Eurasia and the EFU. Tensions were high and friction was bound to spark up something. The friction was now in the form of private corporations such as Ansui who now backed Eurasian forces on the front lines on intel operations. The storm clouds came as the first NATO informant was uncovered by a team of Ansui agents and executed on his balcony which had regularly hosted dinners with fine wines, bread, and new friends. The shot rang out and the white walls of a Greek town now destined to be rattled by war were for the first time in centuries splattered with blood.

Designed during the Bush War to allow the UFA to combat both the insurgent threat while also competing with the advancements made in Eurasia, the Umbani is considered to be one of the best examples of why the UFA has the greatest arms industry in the world. The plane is relatively untested in fighter on fighter combat but had its first real test during Operation Cetshwayo where it performed exceptionally well against the older Eurasian Models operating in Africa. After this the Umbani was once again tested when the UAPR invaded Egypt. While still performing its bombing roles well the sheer expense of the plane caused UFA high command to stop its deployment when faced with losses in the sky. Current the Umbani is being used in tactical airstrikes within the UAPR and in South East Asia. Due to its high performance NATO allies such as the EFU, Oceania, and the USA have all made orders for the plane and it is expected to be a staple in the NATO air fleet in coming decades.

  

this is a plane Toby and I built while I was there in NYC, as you can tell Toby did a lot hahaha

Minor updates to the vehicles from their previous posts.

In the aftermath of the Ansui Coup in Eurasia hundreds of dormant insurgent groups across the world suddenly had an influx in cash and arms from the new government. Many began operating more boldly as communication with Beijing became less and less frequent amidst the chaos. In the EFU and their many overseas territories small uprisings began, notably in the Basque region, Southern Italy, EFU holdings in North Africa, and EFU's Sahara territory. The UFA also experienced a mass wave as communist forces in Angola and Mozambique took up arms against the government as did radical Boer Nationalists and regional separatists.

 

Featured prominately here are newly recreated V2 AMA visors! They are purchasable on IG, check out WID's ig page for more info!

After the Ansui Coup happened the EFU motioned for the production of a Main Vertical Tank of their own.

Specifically a rapidly producable yet still effective MVT to bolster their borders and protect themselves and their allies.

This led to the UFA, the most technologicaly advanced member in the alliance to graciously send some top engineers to help with development.

 

The L1-Cyclops features two subtractable missile bays that can be installed with a variety of payloads depending on mission paramaters. As well as two chute-fed undermounted WLKM 12,7 Multi-Barrel Machineguns. It has an onboard rudementary AI that can either support a rear-mounted pilot or operate independantly on some basic parameters.

"Boss, come in boss, they found our operation, they ... no YOU don't understand, these guys look military, the boys are being slaughtered out here ... no no, they can't be bargained with, they can't be reasoned with ... *static* "

 

Some time after the federalization of the EU the near 300km long catacombs stretching beneath Paris had become sealed off from the public, making them an ideal refuge for all kinds of scum and illegal activities. In 2043 the EFU decided to use these crime infested subterranian tunnels as testing grounds for their new Advanced and Heavy infantry.

think i got myself in trouble

so i fill the bath with bubbles

then i'll put the towels all away

should've never said the word "love"

threw a toaster in the bathtub

i'm sick of all the games i have to play

 

i'm tired of being careful

tiptoe

trying to keep the water warm

let me under your skin

uh-oh

there it goes

i said too much, it overflowed

why do i always spill?

 

i feel it coming out my throat

guess i better wash my mouth out with soap

god, i wish i never spoke

now i gotta wash my mouth out with soap

As EFU prepares its units, supplies from across the union are transported to the war zones with speed and efficiency

This is the second time in the past week I’ve bunged an “urgent” photo on top of an upload because I saw something interesting! Last time it was 500 and now it’s an ex-Kinchbus Sprint Solo on loan to CT4N, which I unexpectedly came across in Beeston today.

 

With Kinch having got their new Yutong electrics in service, most of their old fleet has transferred to the other Wellglade subsidiaries. Not too long ago (last year I think?) Wellglade bought Littles, and that’s where the Slimline Solos off the Sprint have gone... well, the ones which didn’t catch fire, at least.

 

Meanwhile CT4N have been experiencing a vehicle shortage, with dropped journeys on the 18/18A, 510 etc. It can’t have helped that they got rid of one of their two (presumably leased) E200 MMCs, and for a week in February they borrowed a couple of the ex-Sprint Solos of Littles to run the bizarre Bulwell to Mapperley route 19 (which I never saw).

 

Come mid-April they appear to have borrowed two more, with YJ07 EFU/T being listed on Bustimes and having already tracked on Nottingham High School routes. It was completely unexpected for one to appear on the 510, but I was just strolling though Beeston earlier having been unable to buy the right kind of masking tape, squinted into the distance and was like “is that... a Kinch Solo?!”

 

Sure enough, it was former Kinchbus 4 – I’m not sure if it retains that number under Littles – but seems to be under the guise of 927 at CT4N. It had the Littles legal address on an A4 sheet in the window with another above it saying ON LOAN TO CT4N. Funnily enough the previous CT4N 927 was an early (and very tuneful) ex-Trent Solo that had gone the other way to Littles many years prior.

 

And I’d almost not taken my camera with me today thinking I wouldn’t see anything interesting in Beeston – well it’s a good job I did! YJ07 EFU is seen exiting the Interchange towards Chilwell Road, but about to swing left down Middle Street, on 22.4.26

 

Reworked the Advanced Infantry, visors inspired by old Purge figs and the vambraces removed because they caused some issues. Added holsters/pistols to compensate.

Here is my EFU Faction army groupshot for World in Darkness. Something I've been meaning to do for a while in the same vein as Mason's Oceania Army Groupshot. Which was also my main inspiration.

 

From left to right:

 

3 Pilots, 3 Technicians, 1 Officer, 4 Land Force Infantry, 4 Air Force Infantry, 4 Marine Infantry, 2 Heavy Exo-Infantry, 4 Advanced Infantry, my WiD Sigfig and 4 SOF Infantry.

The EFU's Chimera Light Multirole Vehicle.

 

This'll probably be the last bit of tweaking I'll do with my 4x4 design for a while. I can't really find any more improvements (other then perhaps adding more colour) without making them bigger or removing the space for 4 minifigs. My main goal being creating the most compact 4x4 military vehicle in lego scale with a realistic interior.

 

However if anybody has any C&C that is always appreciated.

Not to be confused with KDO874, which is another Jensen in the colours of Robert Crawford.

 

This has a P6 Perkins Diesel engine (with a very distinctive whistle) and has been with the same owner for 60 years, 4 owners in total and believed to be the oldest surviving Jensen of its type, of which only 8 are believed to remain.

 

Original paintwork throughout, 85000 miles, fitted with drawbar eye. I did read elsewhere online that this was bought new at the Earls Court Motor Show. Seen here at the Essex Country Show, Barleylands 2015

 

In terms of suvivors, there are 2 Crawford Jensens (this one and KDO 874), the recent Walsh Bros restoration (now with Unity of Leicester), Ray Hortons (I think now with David Roberts-Malpas), a removal lorry in RGM, the English Electric example (exported to Australia a few years ago) and one other (JKC445) in photo below which I have not seen since...so that makes 7 that I am aware of and now an 8th that Flickr member OAP217 has also provided info below on one currently under restoration (AFA17).

 

The owner of EFU9 also has an Austin K6 (former Birmingham Airfield de-icing unit, HXA866)

Photo taken using iphone.

The impact of the ansui coup in eurasia can even be felt within the borders of the efu.

Fear of a similar corporate takeover has lead the unions leaders to closely monitor the 'security and asset protection' departments of several key players.

Such an investigation has led a team of EDF operatives to confront the security detail of an electronic manufacturing firm belonging to the █████ company, located in ███████, spain.

 

Built for the

World in Darkness group :)

On rail replacement duties at Carlisle Citadel Station.

While outside Loughborough station the Kinchbus Sprint Solos came to join in, and allowed me to actually get a couple of these pictured in service before they were withdrawn. Funnily enough this is the same one I saw on loan to CT4N a few weeks ago.

 

YJ07 EFU and M223 SVN are seen on 18.5.25

 

Kinchbus Optare Solo YJ07 EFU meets Midland Red BMMO S22 PHA 505G outside Loughborough station on 18.5.25, making for a nice primary coloured pairing. As much as I’m into my 2000s stuff, given the choice I think I prefer the S22.
