1938 A very British Civil War

[twrchtrwyth]

Any information on what happens to Wales in this sourcebook? I know when the Labour party started they were in favour of Welsh independence. I have an idea of a Welsh Miners, Steelworkers and Railwayworkers Nationalist Socialist Militia, who would actually be socialists not facists. Think miners helmets and armoured trains.

Yep.  Wales features too.  Won't go into details (you'll have to buy the book  ) but think north/south divide with miners in the middle.

Mike Hobbs is setting up a scenario over on The Gentleman's Wargames Parlour concerning Wales;

The period is starting to take off, Ian Armstrong (BAM) is in the process of making a Carden-Loyd Tankette, Paul Hicks has made some masters for the BUF, Bill at Musketeer is set to add some figures to the IWI range and last but not least, Simon at Solway has produced faction flags and will be selling the sourcebook!

Now, with  very few small alterations these chaps would be perfect for Spanish Civil War infantry in guerrera tunic. Hint, hint...

[Wirelizard]

I could see picking those BUF figures up for "generic pulp troops" too - Glorious Dictatorship of Greater Ruritania or whatever... nifty!

You simply have to have Miners battalions wearing helmets and the old work dress, definately Socialist in origin with the Unions backing them

wearing these

You share my vision.

You share my vision.

I've been talking to BillT about getting some head swap sprues made up for his IWI figures and miners helmets are on the top of the list

so hopefully he'll do them soon 

on another note, twrchtrwyth where in Wales are you based? we are in the Aberdare area if you fancy a game

I'm in Dinbych, North East, but I used to live in Pontarddulais when I was a small child. Thanks for the invite, but you know how wonderful the roads are between North and South.

Not far from me then, I'm in Ellesmere Port

Cross the border??? 

I'm planning on coming down to the Penarth Show for a looksee and to put some names to faces... maybe even buy some figures...

Feeling a bit giddy now....

The perfect time to meet up as there will be a 1938 demo game on.
