This figure for the command pack will be at the show as well. The only way to get a message to you company commander.







The figures will only be there till 2pm as I need to make the journey back to the Capital of the World..... London .

That is very funny.

Glad to see people are keeping a sense of humour around this ECW3/1938 thing

Is this an "official" game or is it a combined effort by some fans and manufacturers?

It is not a "game" as in figures, rules etc, but a sourcebook creating a most interesting background as a base for an alternative historical setting and the opportunity to fight an (international as it were, due to the possibility of international brigades) conflict in the pre-WWII period.  Great if you like all sorts of interwar stuff combined with early WWII and late WWI.  Since the setting is partly imaginary, for me it has the feeling of a Darkest Africa game in 1930's Europe.  Figures are already on the way (though many excisting historical ranges can be used), rules are certainly to follow...  Furthermore, since armour, infantry etc was in rather limited supply, you don't need huge numbers or large units to field an acceptable force.  This is the opposite of a GW game (so to speak) in terms of freedom of choice.

Now if we could only gat a proper Unit of home Gaurd on Roller Skates..................

[Hastings]

In David Carroll's book on the home guard there is a pic of jolly chaps on rollerskates, being trained by Harry Lee (British Rollerskating Champion) as 'dispatch racers' apparently they could do 40mph on a good city street but pigeons were still reckoned to be faster- yeah but they had to contend with Dick Dastardly and Muttley!
