1938 A very British Civil War

[joroas]

Saw this advertised in the new edition of WI.  there is a sourcebook and scenarios due out and flags for 13 different factions.  There is no website for Solway games, but the flags are on ebay:

They are working on Battlefield signs for various parts of the UK.  No mention of figures.

I saw these at Skelp at the weekend and they are well printed.  Being fantasy they cannot be faulted but beware their Russian flags!  They are mainly incorrectly spelled cyrillic slogans.  They also have the hammer and sickle rather than hammer and plough.  Avoid.

Interesting idea and nice flags!

Crusader do some great early WW2 British troops would not be too hard converting a few standard bearers!

But I cannot start another project!!

I couldn't find the advert. Are you sure it was WI?

All I can find on the bottom of that page is an advert for Big Battalions.

November's issue!

Wow! My October issue says it isn't published again until the 16th. How did you get your hands on it?

[joroas]

I have a subscription, just as cheap and you get a couple of free figures.  Oh, and you get the magazine early......... 

[twrchtrwyth]

I get mine delivered by the local newsagent. Might re-think that plan.

For the full range of flags etc....

Thread concerning the scenario...

It's an interesting idea and there's plenty of figures suitable. The 1937 pattern battledress wasn't in wide spread issue until 1939 (many units went to France in 1940 in the earlier WW1 type uniform), so GWM et al's WW1 ranges are suitable, as are the Musketeer IWI range.

Besides conversion of civilian vehicles there'd be quite a motley collection of Army vehicles to choose from. The Matilda I was just entering service, but the MK2 was a long way off from production. Light MKVI's were pretty numerous and you'd get chance to use the Vickers Medium tank in anger too!

Rolls Royce, Crossley and other armoured cars, motorcycle infantry and a few  different types of 'carrier' in limited numbers... Hawker Fury's, Harts and cutting edge Gloster Gladiators for you budding Biggles's out there   

Nice concept, plenty of scope for the imagination.

A civil war in a great power of the time, is a very interesting project. Although an alternative history it could have happened! Someone could also think to do similar projects in France, Germany (either supposing that there was an armed opposition to Hitler, or vice versa) or even think similar projects in more exotic places like Mexico/South America or South Africa.

Another interesting scenario could be something in India!

Thanks for the links, this is getting more interesting!
