A Very British Civl war

[Leon]

Apologies, been a bit ill past couple of days, so haven't had chance to get them up.  I've got the pics on the camera next to me, so if I can stop coughing up my spleen, I'll get them uploaded today.

Always over-rated, the spleen

Get well.

I'll add my vote for armed civilians and militias. Also for the Vickers medium.

Cheers,

I saw the new masters and I liked what I saw  . If I could put in my oar and further request additional items, my thoughts are:-

Generic 30s bus
Generic 30s Lorry (with and without tilt)
Generic 30s saloon car
Motorcycles and combinations with civilian riders
Civilian crews for Vickers, Lewis, Bren, Degtyaryov, Lanchesters/MP28, Boys AT rifle, etc.
Home Guard in side caps.

Edit
Almost forgot
BEF on bicycles
French on bicycles
Civilians on bicycles

Cheers

One of these would be great

I've picked up some nice N gauge 1930's cars and vans from this company.

Aircraft would be nice to see.

Especialy British types that also saw action in the Spanish Civil War and the Finnish Winter War (and possiobly Chaco war) and the "side shows" fo early WW2.

All of which could server in a sealion game as they were relagated to training roles in 1940. Example

the Hawker Hart/Audax/deamon/Hind/etc series of light bombers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawker_Hart

Some nice colour plates here http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww15/o/517/9

Along with eitehr a Hawker Hart or Gloster Gladiator/ Gauntlette.

A "generic-ish" fighter and fighter bomber, each with the option of either a radial or inline engine option would be useful.

At the moment there are either reletively expensive display models (£10+ unbuilt kits) or the Reversico/Tin Soldiwer range from the US (who seem not to have a UK distributor).

[Leon]

I've added all these suggestions to the lists.

Generic 30s bus
Generic 30s Lorry (with and without tilt)

We've got a London bus, and a 1930's truck.  Along with the various WW1 trucks, we're pretty well covered for these.

I'm starting to read the "Jerusalem" rules for AVBCW and in the communications section great emphasis is placed on telephones.

Can you add a telephone box to the wishlist?

Also telegraph poles? 

Also post box, obviously too slow for tactical battlefield communication, but it would look nice!!

Any other 20s/30s street furniture?

Or is this kind of thing available from model railway sites?

Police boxes - also for Sci-Fi, which would give another pack or two of a certain medical charater.

"Jerusalem" also mentions the need for a "medic" so a medical character (with an assistant?).  Do medics normally wear long flowing scarves?

There is plenty of street furnature out there.

Look for N guage railway stuff, it's got loads of options. I've even found a full cricket team and a hunt with hounds

I think it's kestrel that do the telegaph poles, about £3 for 10 or so. I've got them and they do add a little to the feel of 30s Britain. Infact they have been a battlefield objective before, cut the comms.

Thanks for the tip, I've found 1936 style phone boxes and a police phone box!.
