Used to be known as the English Civil War(s).

What is WTK? Much as I favour "War of the Kilts", I fear I'm wrong there.

The War of the Three Kingdoms (WTK or W3K), a much more accurate description of the 17th century unpleasantness than ECW.

Are we talking about the Bishops War?

No the BIshops Wars were 1638 1639, when Charlie boy tried to force the book of common prayer onto the Scots Kirk, bad mistake.  He went  to war with Scotland to force the issue and was badly beaten.  He then went to the English parliament to get money to fight the Scots again, that cost him his head in the long run.

Makes sense. But it sounds like something from 8th century China, doesn't it?

It'll remain the ECW to me.

For me it will now be "the 17th Century Unpleasantness".   :D

And the 30YW can be the extreme 17th Century Unpleasantness.

Cheers; sounds worth trying.  I've already got the paint versions of all those and a couple more; very thin paint perhaps?
