I have started a new yahoo group, Between the Wars. If, like me, you are interested in SCW, Back of Beyond, late colonial or more unusual topics, like Very British Civil War then please join up. I aim to create a friendly forum with plenty of discussion, information and regular updates. Subscribe to 20sto30s Powered by uk.groups.yahoo.com

The Flanderkin Sargeant's last post ( http://flanderkin.blogspot.com/2010/04/trial-game.html ) got me inspired with the SCW again. Most of these figures have been painted months but I never got round to finishing the bases. The cavalry are still so. Nearly all of the figures are my favourite, irregular mini's. Spanish Republican cavalry. Not sure how effective cavalry was by the SCW. I know the Brits finally gave it up (not without a fight) in the First World War. I think these will be more useful on the gaming table as mounted infantry. Republican Infantry. Republican Artillery. The gun is a French 75mm. This could easily be used to represent the fascists, i guess I would just paint them to look a bit more uniformed. Civillians being guided (or led away) by their local Guardia Civil. Moorish maxim gun. Nationalist infantry. My nationalist battery. Equipped with old German Krupp 7.7s. Nationalist Cavalry approaching a group of farmers. Carlist Infantry. More Carlist infantry.

So Salute has been and gone, another year flies by. Got some good purchases this year, I always say to myself I should by some equipment, paints or scenery. But again I came away with only miniatures. I have been rather busy at the moment with coursework but I have managed some painting. 1 Britannia BMP1, a squad of 20mm Vietnam Aussies (painted up to be generic commonwealth troops for the 60's/70's) and I've finished off some old Irregular SCW infantry. I'll take some photos and put them up when I get some time...
