Afraid so and it's great. Lots of field trips (including one to Salute in March!  ). I've just started a module on the SCW which adds to the temptation! As Lowtardog said the BCW would be an interesting angle on the coursework. Hmmmmmmmm..... got me thinking now.

I'm trying so hard to resist this! Help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Give in to the Dark Side (I did, it's lovely there...  )

We tried to work on a few more converts to the period with the game we did at Penarth. Solway were there with the sourcebook etc. before catching the 2pm train to get to York and Musketeer were airing the new militia greens as well as stocking all the new BUF figures etc. (which I HAD to buy).
We were also feeding Mr Hicks ideas for sculpts (militiaman with dog on lead etc.). Might see some of them yet.

Don't apologise - i've got a BA (Hons) in War Studies from KCL 

Always a good way to add to your wargaming book collection, and some of our field trips were very interesting ... Porton Down...RAF bases etc etc

Aha! Then you'll appreciate the pleasant pain I'm going through. I'm in year two so halfway there. I'm at Wolverhampton, not as prestigious as KCL but a good laugh.

This is looking very interesting, any chance of seeing a demo game at a wargame event in the future?

[AKULA]

I think someone ran one up at Penarth, end of Jan.

There are some plans for some more games soon - am afraid with the GWP site down at the moment i'm not sure where/when, but doubtless there will be more talk on LAF about them soon.

Partizan was one possibility being discussed, but i guess it depends upon whether we can get a table or not.

Basically keep your eye out!

They are a couple f close up photos on the Yahoo group of figures but not the whole game

Angus Kostam has some nice little skirmish reports on his site

Yes - Rob and Mort ran a demo game at Penarth. I assisted in leading the BUF forces to a bit of a mauling in taking East Quantoxhead and getting repulsed from the churchyard at West Quantoxhead.
There's talk of doing a game at the Exeter show in May - I've been asked if I'd assist again by Simon of Solway, I believe Rob is considering it still. Watch this space...
We may do some more shows - those of us at Penarth are largely based in the South West of England but there's widespread interest in the period across the UK. Involvement from Rob and me is rather dependant on our involvement with our "other hobby" (re-enactments).
We'll try to spread the word if we are doing something.

Hi,
Just a quick question - who manufactures the driver in the Rolls??

I'm putting together a smilar sized force of Scots Republican infantry from the Gordon Highlanders rgt and my staff car and truck (also Matchbox diecasts) require drivers.

I'll post piccies when painting is done.

I just hope with all my heart nobody thinks of starting an Weird 3rd ECW...  I hate all things zombie in wargaming (just a thought).

Weeell... anybody remember that Disney ´classic´ "Bedknobs and Broomsticks"? It had Cliché Nazi (TM) submarine commandos being repelled by summoned animated suits of armour... now substitute BUF blackshirts for the Cliché Nazis (TM), throw in the restless spirits of Jack the Ripper and Sweeney Todd, with a little Nessie for that amphibious assault scenario, and hey presto.



Sorry, but you had it coming, old chap.

Just a quick question - who manufactures the driver in the Rolls??

A Rafm motorcycle cop.  Use a pair of pliers to scrunch his legs into a seated position 

If you find another suitable driver, you can always do a headswop - Woodbine have service dress caps, and Anglian also do an extensive range of heads.
