Winter Of 79 / Anarchy In The UK 🇬🇧

[HESH]

Winter Of ‘79 merging into my own concept of ‘Anarchy  In The Uk’.

I intend to include scenarios based on real  historical events , some of which I took part in. Those aspects are meant to be a tribute in a format that I enjoy and now that I have retired from the British Army I have more free time.

I lost a bit of interest when the Mike Bravo figure range ended but now 1st Corps have stepped up!

 They look great, but who are they going to fight?

[HESH]

Any of the opposite factions in the Winter of 79 books   

Outside of that it’s unlimited from anarchists, internal security , post apocalypse scenarios from 1970 up to about 1987.

My main focus is Winter of 79 and Op Banner .

Butlers printed models do some really nice Landies  and there are decals too .

[Capt Troy Tempest]

That’s nice, did it come with mesh windows or have you added them.

[HESH]

I added them and the Perspex screens .

The top cover sentries are cut down figures from 1st Corps Miniatures .

Another set from 1st Corps …

Very nice! Any idea as to how they size up with Empress BAOR range?

[HESH]

Yes, I use both . These are a little shorter , as most are compared to the Empress range . Little bit chunkier as well .

I am switching to 1st Corps who are releasing this weekend the Internal Security range but also their own range of BAOR Cold War figures designed by Tin Shed .

In the range are 3 packs of terrorists, a couple of packs of undercover types (14 Int, MRF, SAS) that could also be baddies. There are also some RUC and a couple of packs of SAS that could also be used for the Falklands/BAOR etc

[carlos marighela]

Very nice. Brought back memories of my honours supervisor, a somewhat hard woman from Belfast who had a confidential telephone poster on the  back of the door at uni.

Those do look much better than the MB stuff. Think I'll be buying one or two when they come out.

Fingers crossed they do some territorials in '38 pattern webbing and SLRs. I've been looking for decent proxies for the Irish army in the 1960s and '70s for ages. Had a bash at converting some Warlord paras and I've been contemplating the Wargames Atlantic SAS/Commandos with weapons swaps.
