Finally got my brush wet (not a euphemism sadly)

It has been too long. And it was fun to paint something that i don’t even have a game or army for at the moment.

Some YouTube videos grabbed my attention regarding the oddly dressed American Civil War Zouave troopers. I bought a Perry’s sprue and when i dug deeper into the history i realised i wanted to make my 5 men from the Louisianna Tigers.

Day 23 and the last day of my journey into the world of 1938 A Very British Civil War and today I am going to example a little bit of the background and factions of the time. So what is VBCW or 1938 A Very British Civil War?

Simply put 1938 A Very British Civil War or VBCW is an alternative history created by Messers Jones, Mortimore and Douglas, with illustrations drawn by Pete Barfield and published by Solway Crafts and Miniatures.

King Edward VIII refuses to abdicate triggering a constitutional crisis which divides the nation and results in Civil war. As a result instead of going to war in Europe Britain is facing a very British crisis.

The main players or factions are:

The Edwardian Royalists, supporting King Edward VIII and his right rule as he see fit.

The Reactionaries, mainly far right organisations, such as the Prime Minister Mosley’s British Union of Fascists, who are supporting Edward to further their own agenda.

The Anglican League, who are ‘Middle England’ at war, traditional liberals or Conservatives who find themselves unable to support the King and his Prime Minister.

The Peoples’ Armies and the Socialist Leagues, socialist groups seeking revolution rather than just reform of the monarchy and government.

The Albertines, the democratic parliament in exile, elect Prince Albert Lord protector and invite him to return from self imposed exile in Canada and take all necessary means to restore order.

The Scottish Republic, angered by the imposition of paramilitaries and the activities of the King’s Prime Minister Mosley, Scotland succeeds from the union and declares a republic.

The Liverpool Free State, faced with troops trying to break strikes in the City, the Mayor declares Liverpool an Independent Free State.

The Yorkist Front, The City of York declares its support not for the King but his brother Prince Albert.

Nationalist Independence groups, in Wales and Cornwall groups are fighting for Independence from the King’s government, such as the Somerset Freedom Fighters.

The Red Clydesiders, radical socialist groups in Glasgow aiming to bring about a socialist revolutionary government.

The Jacobites, angered by the failures of the Scottish Republic this group of mainly conservative highland landlords have invited Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria, last claimant to the Stuart line to raise a revolt.

The League of St Andrew, the pro unionist party in Scotland seeking an alliance with Prince Albert.

The Lord of the Isles, a Scandinavian aristocrat distantly related to the English Royal family revives an ancient claim on the Western Isles.

The League of Martyrs, a traditional group of Roman Catholics, looking to gain greater representation and recognition for themselves and their cause, have sided with the King and his Government.

Today I have included some of the armbands worn by the various factions some they can identify friend from foe, as most people dress the same.

So long for now.

Well, it’s been a long time since I was last here. Had some difficult times over the last year and a bit so haven’t had much time for hobby. As I have been painting a lot more minis I decided to post up some of my recent models to see what people thought.

Star Wars Legion Rebel Alliance AT-RT

Star Wars Legion Imperial Scout Troopers on Speeder Bikes

The Legion models are so much better than I thought they were going to be. Game is canny too. Been a real pleasure painting them.
