1938 A very British Civil War

[Arlequín]

All sounds good, I was expecting a take-off from the Penarth show onwards as word got round, but hey.

Anyone know what the problem is with GWP... two nights its been down now, I need my fix 

[twrchtrwyth]

Sorry, but what's GWP?

[Ook]

GWP is Gentlemens Wargames Parlour - a forum. The site is still down though today.

Problem with the Xsorbit servers by the looks of things -a few Xsorbit forums are down at the moment

Just ordered mine too! GWP being down is rather inconvenient though.

Apparently this is not uncommon with xsorbit, for a variety of reasons... gone for a few days then back with no explanation... or not at all in some cases.

Hopefully it's temporary. Most of the folks there are members here, so we wont lose touch, but it's like drinking in the same pub all the time, if you know what I mean

Still looking at Crusade for the launch as such. Certainly it will be the first chance the general wargaming public gets to see the project in action.

I see Gripping Beast/Woodbine are doing some seperate heads.
Including Naval Caps ( Liverpool free State?) Service Caps, Tin Hats and stahlheims (Irish Imports?)

There is quite a selection... tin helmets, slouch hats, the Canadian type hat they are calling a lemon squeezer as well as the ones you mentioned.

No flat caps though

Nor the much required Bowler or Police helmet! hint! hint!

[Hastings]

How late did the Canadians have the 'Lemon Sqeezers'? Anyone Know?

I thought the Lemon Squeezer was worn by New Zealanders - they were still wearing it in early WW2

As long as the problem is only temporary... I trust I will be able to make the carolling rounds before, and not after, Christmas.
I'm pretty sure I left my songbook at the virtual bar.

It's known by many names... but yes the New Zealanders wore it. A Montana (peak) Hat or Stetson is what I believe it is called in the USA.

The RCMP/GRC still wear it on Parade, but I believe it was phased out after WW1 for the Cavalry. The Cap was used I believe, as in the British Army.

Love the idea. Itching to do neo-Jacobites supporting the Stuart pretender.
