WINTER OF '79 - LIVING ON THE FRONT LINE: Civil War in the Disunited Kingdom

1-210670

Rules represent an alternative history of the late 1970s and early 1980s. In this vision, the 'Establishment' takes control of the legitimate government and the subsequent 'crackdown' is faced with spontaneous popular resistance led by trade union, liberal and left-wing elements, which boils over into civil war. Provides you with the context and motivation for fighting games based upon a premise of DPM vs Donkey Jacket, SLR vs Armalite, Brit against Brit, in the late seventies and early eighties.

VBCW this is not! No tea and hand grenades Vicar. But there is no reason you can't have colorful private armies, trade union and left-wing militias, local defense leagues, new military and paramilitary formations, each with their own identity defined by your choice of uniforms, camo, weapons, badges and personalities. Equally the forces on your tabletop can simply be armed civilians vs military, helmets vs berets, or maroon vs green. International volunteers? Foreign assistance? Your call.

These rules are just the core set for a series of 'What-if' supplements of military combat in various theaters.
