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

It’s been a few years since I last visited a wargames show, but two weeks ago I schlepped up to Newark for Partizan ’18. Partizan has always been one of my favourite shows, due to the extremely high quality of … Continue reading

A Very British Civil War in Pembrokeshire: Armoured Reinforcements
Well I’m back from Partizan, having had a blast playing Pete Barfield’s wonderful VBCW game and seeing an array of incredible games. The Partizan report will follow, but here are some AFVs I painted last week, after finishing off the reinforcements … Continue reading
The Baroness de Loutson Marches on Newark!
The Baroness de Loutson and the Cadet Corps of Slebech Castle College For Young Ladies will this week be marching on Newark, to reinforce the Royalist forces in Pete Barfield’s ‘A Very British Civil War’ game at the ‘Partizan 2018′ … Continue reading
A Very British Civil War in Pembrokeshire: The Battle of Camrose
Our quest for a good set of VBCW rules continued with another game, this time using the excellent ‘Force on Force’ ruleset by Ambush Alley Games (published by Osprey). We’d already used these for ultra-modern games, but thought they might … Continue reading
