1938 A very British Civil War

[Bungle]

Bungle, is that an authentic magazine cover or did you craft it yourself? If it is authentic, you may let it stand as is.

OOps sorry I forgot

The "action" banner/poster is a cleaned up historical one that advertises the paper

the contents are the cover of a book


Shout out if you want it removed.

I think we´ll leave it for the time being, future action notwithstanding.

First of all I'd like to say, 'Hi'.
Secondly thanks for joining in the 1938 maddness.
Thirdly can anyone help with this.
I'm trying to fine a wargamer called Andy Callan. He wrote loads of stuff in the 80s, but I can't fine him now. I've used some of his stuff for book 2 and I'd like to ask his permmision to use it.
I tried googling him but have no luck after e-mailing people.
Anyone any ideas?

I am so fucking tempted by this thread, but I need...nay *must* resist. I would however love to throw in my Duke of Nutherland Kennel Club of Monimasket on side or the other.

Why resist?

Regiment Games Naval landing party would work very well for this setting to.

Having just found Crusader miniatures and Army Group North’s Phony war French troops and tanks my prediction is that by 1940 there will be a lot of French being spoken in Hazlehurst!  And after a quick Wikepedia search it appears that unlike British Matilda II and cruiser tanks most of the French amour was ready between 1936 and 1938.  This will be a novel way for General De Gaul's free French to visit the Green and Pleasant land!

Good to see some units for the Capital.
Im in the process of trying to map events at the mo to produce a rough zones of influence and  keep it updated in Albions Trumpet.
This is what ive got so far..

Situation in the South East as I see it is this. The Fascist march on Canterbury ended in a bit of a shambles and the theoretical front line is on the Medway. However either side of the line there has been a fair ammount of skirmishing. But as we get to the first summer of the war Royalist-Fascist units seem to be mainly to the North and Leaugers to the South. Some having to abandon their home territories eg Bromley LDV and the Bank of England Rifles (sadly not bringing the dosh with them!)

Interesting as Bromley is my home turf. Saddly the old Bromley Home Guard Club (located on Swan Hill) closed down a few years back and is now luxury flats.  My Grandfather served with the Artillery Yeomanry bewteen the wars (horse drawn 13lbs judging by the pictures) - these were locally based, but I am not sure whether he was based at Grove Park (still a Yeomanry Artillery TA Centre) and the old TA barracks again based at Swan Hill (last used by the TA Signals until again coverted into luxury flats).  O'Neils in Bromley was once the Post Office Sorting Office and also doubled as the Home Guard drill hall.

Anyone doing the SE might also be interested to know that Tonbridge did have an old male MkIV as a war memorial which could have been resurrected and Goudhurst once had a German WWI artillery piece.

Cyclists battalions would be interesting how about one based on these:

1/8th (City of London) Battalion (Post Office Rifles)

They could use their old postie push bikes.

Hehe I have a unit of these and am about to start painting them

An appeal to Simon (Hastings) & friends.

When considering all the (already being at hand) info about factions & alliances throughout the realm and apart from future sourcebook-like publications, would it not be advisable to create a website around a map of the UK whereby one could click on certain areas to reveil what factions are operating there (and a short background), perhaps with the factions' flags?

On this proposed website the flag pictures could be barred with the text "copyright" or something to make'm useless for downloading (after all these are offered as a commercial product).  I think this would be a great step forward in creating (yet) more interest in the subject.  The theme was simple enough at the start, but since it now leads a life of its own (good!), to a newcomer it might start to look like the 40K universe...

I think this is a great proposal.

I'd go so far as to suggest any future published material should be a pdf download like those put out be the Two Fat Lardies chaps - that ought to keep overheads down. Charge by all means but email rather than print - its greener

So do I and they are painted. 30 or so. I converted the Brens to Lewises

I've looked at their sailors in the past and nearly ordered the whole lot. Not sure an RN landing party would fit in with my part of the world though. It's only a few miles from the docks but not much in the way of RN bases around here. Still, it is alternative history...
