1930´s Filling Station "Nafta"

For our swedish inter war gaming I have painted a Filling Station, not truly 1930´s era but god enought for me. The Filling station was donated by my friend Oskar that had planed to use it for he´s russian zombie project some years ago, but now it ended up in our "A Very Moderate Swedish Conflict" setting instead:)

The station name will be "Nafta" that was oil company founded by the Swedish Nobel brothers during the later part of the 19th century to produce oil in Russia, and it was for a time the world's second largest oil company, after Standard Oil.

Subsidiary Nafta Syndicate Ltd, which imported its petrol from Russia, had a number of petrol stations in Sweden. After the Russian Revolution it became increasingly controlled imports and Nafta was forced in 1937 to sell off its Swedish brand to Gulf. By its american competitors on the Swedish market it was called "Bolsjevikpetrol"

Here some pictures of the Filling Station, a good objective to start a civil war conflict for...

We will run the first test game for our  "A Very Moderate Swedish Conflict" setting tonight at the club meet, the rules for the first game will be the "Triumph & Tragedy" rules with a small twist for the activation system.

The first game will focus on a dawn raid on a filling station (no guess...), guarded by Swedish Regulars, by a unholy allianse of different Socialist and Communist movement groups....
