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

Abellio’s 8813 is seen here on the 195, unusually on a Sunday

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

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.

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"

Minor updates to the vehicles from their previous posts.

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

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

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

They intercepted communications where Aku Corporation spoke of him, nothing good.

Begin the transfer to a secure location.

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

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.

Vehicle Details

Operator: Nottingham City Transport

Fleet Details: 483

Registration: YN19 EFU

Vehicle Type: Scania N280UD CBG, Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 City

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)

Photographed for much the same purposes as the Yutong – for the 28/30 branding – is 483 with its weird blind doing weird blind things in the photo. Getting the pinks down with the altered branding feels like a never-ending task as the 29 was withdrawn as soon as I’d cleared the lot with 28/29/30. So now I’m embarking on getting them now with just 28/30. I hope you like pink line stuff because I’ll be doing the entire batch... again.

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.

LORE:

 

The United Arab Kingdom or UAK was formed as part of the progression of the Gulf Monarchical Economic Union(GMEU) that had formed in the 60s as a reaction to the UAPR. The Kingdom exists as a federal structure, with devolved government existing in its member states which are the kingdoms of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, and the Emerities which in itself is a federation. The former state of North Yemen was occupied by Saudi Arabia following the Yemeni-Saud War(1964). The culminating event for the economic and military cooperation of the Gulf states was the reaction to the fall of Jordan. As the UAPR formed with the union of Iraq, Syria, Palestine, and Lebanon Jordan came under increasing pressure from both Communist guerillas making consistent intrusions into its territory and also the Israeli nationalist groups operating out of its deserts. The 1966 coup and subsequent annexation of Jordan into the UAPR led to a flair in the border conflict between the UAPR and Arab Kingdoms, where the monarchies would be given a bloody nose by the far better-funded and armed Arab militias.

Following the border war, the Kingdoms would form a common defense, economic, and political union eventually leading to the founding of the UAK. They and the UAPR would engage in an oil-fueled arms race that led to both nations seeking nuclear weapons in the 80s, and acquiring them in the 90s. The primary supplier to the UAK is NATO and the EFU, with limited support from the UFA. The Arab Kingdom would gain experience overseas, sending detachments of troops to fight communist guerillas in the UFA, while also helping the Kingdom of Egypt’s Junta reassert control of the White Nile with deployments to Sudan. Following the collapse and invasion of their long-standing ally the Kingdom of Egypt, the UAK applied for and joined NATO. The confrontation between them and the UAPR remains constant with the desert borders being heavily militarized along with Yemen being a frequent flair-up site. The UAPR, emboldened by their victories in Egypt and Sudan seek to unify the Arab world and liberate the people under the grip of what they view as a backward monarchical system. Currently, the UAK has military deployments in South Sudan, while also participating in frequent joint exercises with the EFU and UFA.

The UAK is governed by an elected monarchy, elected by the heads of each royal house, however, the position is largely considered to be Saudi dominated with no other house being elected as sovereign. In recent years the UAK has suffered deeply from desertification accompanied by climate change and the global decline in fossil fuel use, on top of this the monarchical structure has allowed a large corrupt aristocracy to dominate the military and economy. There is little to no democratic representation in the country or women’s rights. Wahhabism remains a facet of Islamic life and prevailing governmental ideology, largely due to the 1979 Mosque seizure and as a reaction to the UAPR’s ardent secularism and alliance with the communist and largely Shia Iran.

 

So they weren’t all lumped into the same upload here’s a couple more of those pink line 28s I got with the multi route branding on the side. 483 is identifiable by its weird destination blind that’s bloody impossible to photograph properly, seen making its way down Wigman Road on 27.3.25
