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.

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!
