Miniatures: Airfix To Release Modern British

Airfix have today posted their 2011 catalogue online and in it contains some very interesting models for 2ECW gaming. Airfix are planning to release a new range of 1/48th scale vehicles and figures which should be worth keeping any eye out for:

A06301: British Land Rover Twin Set (set includes one Land Rover WMIK and one Land Rover Snatch)
A02750: British Army Troops

Yes! even more reason for me to switch to 25mm from 20mm.

Back in the 1990's James Clay wrote a couple of articles for the SFSFW journal Ragnarok about a contemporary fictional civil war in England. With glasnost in full swing the idea of using existing modern wargames armies on England's green and pleasant shores was hugely attractive, especially with the addition of foreign volunteers joining the battle...

With the popularity of a Very British Civil War set in the thirties, my thoughts have turned back to James' idea and the numbers of green painted modern armour and troops I still had which I had no desire to repaint and send to Iraq or Afghanistan.

So this blog aims to resurrect James' idea, develop the background and give me an excuse to use my 20mm moderns in a temperate war zone.

Finally yes, I did point out to him there was a second (and third) English Civil War in the 17th century but he didn't care so neither will we!
