England Prevails - A 1988 British Civil War

Don't know if anyone's seen this. Found it while scrolling around looking for modern military miniatures. It's a game blog, set up to look like news reports and updates. Amazingly entertaining.

The idea of wargaming a modern British civil war appeals to me for some reason. Prince Charles in Exile, Irish Republic looking to the Soviet Union for support, Maggy Thatcher under house arrest, and an offer of Scottish independance in exchange for military support; how can it be dull?

Hehe! Funky! Reminds me of Private Eye's (?) reprinting of some South American newspaper of the '80s or '90s which reported that Prince Charles' Royalists were advancing on Oxford. Maybe this somehow got reported as fact.

This is very good, but the dates suddenly jump from 1988 to 1989!!!

Well, if you follow the news posts, the point of departure is 1987, with the election of a far Left Labour PM over Maggie Thatcher. Things deteriorate over 198/88 and fighting breaks out in 1988 and he's continued the campaign up to 1989 so far.

I would have liked to see Charles accepting the Crown and rallying the Royalist forces. Without a Royal, what, exactly, are the Royalists fighting for?
