A Very British Civil War in Pembrokeshire 1938: A Dispatch From Somewhere Near The Back Of The Front
Hello. This is Huw Puw reporting from the front-line (wherever the hell it is – buggered if I know) for The Fish Guardian. My editor last week asked me to ’embed’ myself with the ‘Twm Carnabwth’ Regiment of the Army … Continue reading
A Very British Civil War in Pembrokeshire 1938: The Army of the Republic of Cantref Cemaes
With the Second British Civil War now 80 years in the past, its incredibly complicated history is rapidly being lost from our collective memory and many of the smaller factions of the war are largely forgotten. One such faction was … Continue reading
A Very British Civil War in Pembrokeshire 1938: The Welsh Are Revolting!
Hello. This is Huw Puw reporting from front-line Fishguard, for The Fish Guardian. Rumours have been spreading recently of an offensive by Welsh Nationalists belonging to the Republic of Cantref Cemaes. Details are sketchy, but this photo was allegedly taken … Continue reading
Cold War Polish Infantry
As mentioned in my recent article on SKOT armoured personnel carriers, earlier this year I picked up a load of 15mm Polish Cold War infantry by a Polish company called Oddzial Osmy. At the time, these were only available in the … Continue reading

“Long Live The House of Orange!” – Netherlands Troops at Waterloo
In my last article, I showed off the British and KGL units I had to paint for our Waterloo Bicentennial game in 2015. However, I had an even greater deficiency in Netherlands troops! However, from my involvement in organising a Waterloo … Continue reading
“The Scum of the Earth”: Wellington’s Army at Waterloo in 15mm
As discussed here and here, in 2015 we decided to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Waterloo by refighting it in grand style. Although I already had a lot of British, French and Prussians (mostly AB Figures), there were still ‘a few’ (actually rather a … Continue reading
“Great SKOT!” Some Warsaw Pact APCs in 15mm…
Those of us who like to wargame the ‘Cold War Gone Hot’ in 15mm (1/100th scale) are truly living in a Golden Age of model-availability… It’s not so long ago that the choice was limited to QRF, Skytrex and Peter Pig, or the … Continue reading
