1938 A very British Civil War

[Hastings]

We also included some Americans in 1938 A Very British Civil War.
They are in the Freebooters section. Two Groups are mentioned ;The George Washington Brigade and the Texas Volunteer Company. The former are very much in the 'defenders of democracey' role and most likely will be found with either Liverpool Freestate or the Anglian League. The Texas unit is rather more ambigious but judging by their flag they may have slightly more right wing tendencies. Us Pilots and BAR gunners are also highly prized by all sides. These are just examples the field is wide open for small groups of Foreign volunteers of all persuasions.

Hope you all had good Christmas.
Got a bit of painting done. 2 platoons of Grenadier Guards, A panzer 1 and French half track- all great figures and kits. My plan for the next few weeks will be to build up my Royalists. The Eton Cadets, Worcester TA, Evesham Irregulars are all underway and some of those splendid Great War Cavalry will be fine for the Gloucester Hussars. Add in a Batt of RHA (King's Troop) the Worcester Volunteer Artilley Batt (with a German Gun and very little ammo!) and a bit of Fascist Militia and ill be off campaigning in the Severn Valley!! Then it will be on to Trains and Gunboats!!!

Chieftain is considering the possibility of a bus for 1938 if he gets 20 plus interested.

I'd be interested :-)

Sorry my ignorance. How can you visually distinguish guards to regular infantry/cavalry? didn;t they had the same sort of say uniforms?

Any pics???

If it's a continental bus put me down for 2! I want to be able to use it in the SCW as well.

Is this because you retire next year and will be permitted to take the bus for free?

April 2010, not 2009 Rudi, but only working part-time from January 1st. Need some more brushes urgently.

Will get some picks done.
The Guards came straight from London and retain some more formal items. Eg Dark blue dress caps with Red band and Grey Greatcoats

I think Ian was looking at doing a double decker bus.
I have now got plans for the Bedford bus and a Citroen bus, and they are both useable for Spain!!!

I'd imagine the double decker will be a top seller, it has many applications.

Of course, I'm also looking forwards to seeing more SCW transport

My first Guardsman is on the front cover of the source book. The rest ill try to photo next week
