A Very British Civil War in Pembrokeshire: The Manor Park Raid
With Lord Tenby’s Royalist Administration forces engaged in the north of the county against increasingly belligerent Anglican League and Welsh Nationalist forces, the south of the county had almost been forgotten by the Royalist Administration. With the south relatively quiet, … Continue reading
The Battle of Brandywine, 11th September 1777
Up until the 2000s, all of my wargaming stuff, aside from a small sci-fi collection, was 15mm or smaller. In 2005 or thereabouts, my mate Jase Evans had been badgering me for a while to ‘do something in 28mm’, but … Continue reading
The Battle of Champion Hill, 16th May 1863 (Fire & Fury 10mm ACW)
Following our last ACW game , the Battle of Cedar Mountain, I had some very positive feedback from none other than Rich Hassenauer, author of the Fire & Fury family of rules. He liked what I’d done with his old … Continue reading

Black Cat v White Tiger: The 1st Battle of Bishenpur (Imphal 1944)
This game was our ‘Battlefront Big Bovvy Bash’ game at The Tank Museum, Bovington in 2011. Most of our Bovvy games have been set firmly in the NW European Campaign, but we have gone ‘off-piste’ a couple of times – … Continue reading
“A Game of Two Halves”: The Battle of Cedar Mountain, 9th August 1862 (Fire & Fury 2nd Edition)
Last weekend we had another all-day gaming session at the Carmarthen Old Guard and Alan, Andy and I once again decided to do an American Civil War historical refight in 10mm with the superb Fire & Fury 2nd Edition rules. … Continue reading
“And Sheep May Safely Graze”: The Action at Penclippin Farm – A Very British Civil War in Pembrokeshire 1938
Hello. This is Huw Puw reporting once again from the front line for The Fish Guardian. This week I find myself back in West Carmarthenshire. Having survived the ‘glorious victory’ of Titley Junction, the cross-dressing remnants of the ‘Twm Carnabwth’ … Continue reading

Bloody Antietam (The Afternoon Battle), 17th September 1862
Sorry for the slow rate of blog-posts just lately! My excuses are many and varied, but the main reason is that just lately I’ve been ill with Manthrax (like Man Flu but even worse) and ‘between computers’! Sorry! Anyway, friends … Continue reading
LANDJUT 1984: The Defence of Gnissau
The Warsaw Pact’s Northern Front crossed the Inter-German Border two days ago, rapidly breaking through the forward units of the German Schleswig-Holstein Territorial Command, annihilating the 81st Heimatschütz Regiment and surrounding the 71st Heimatschütz Regiment in Lübeck. The Danish Jutland Dragoons … Continue reading
Refighting Operation ALAN: The Welsh Victory, 22-29 October 1944
From 22-28 October 1944, the 53rd (Welsh) Infantry Division, with supporting elements from 7th Armoured Division, 79th Armoured Division and 33rd Armoured Brigade, won a remarkable (and now largely forgotten) victory at the Dutch city of ‘s-Hertogenbosch. The city (whose … Continue reading
A Very British Civil War in Pembrokeshire: The Battle of Robleston Hall
Regular readers of this blog will remember that we were following the major actions of the Very British Civil War in Little England Beyond Wales 1938. To recap, the King’s control of west Wales collapsed in 1938, with massive Welsh Nationalist and … Continue reading
