The Scottish Civil War-2022.

This is the outline of my intended campaign,called the Scottish Civil War,using 54mm figures and equipment:

After gaining Independence,Nicola Sturgeon pronounces herself as "Queen of all Scotland".This does not go down very well in the Highlands,and revolution is in the air!

The Highlanders mobilise their forces,and calling themselves the "Rogue Nation",prepare to move south and take on the "Tartan Army",liberate Edinburgh and restore the "Status Quo" in Scotland.(It must be noted that some "wag",probably a Geordie, has said that the letter"T" in Tartan Army should be re[placed by the letter "F"-oh that high brow Geordie humour!!)

With Civil War now inevitable,both sides move towards Aberdeen: A small village called Ellon,16 miles north of Aberdeen,where the A90 and A948 merge,and sitting on the River Ythan,is seen to be the ideal place for the Tartan Army to stop the Rogue Nation-so this will be site of the first battle.

The Rogue Nation have adopted the pirate Skull and Crossbones flag and fly it proudly from their tanks. 

These two shots show the terrain map and table layout for the village of Ellon.

Tartan Army troops in place,awaiting the Rogue Nation troops-both sides will have ,initially:-

3 infantry squads,5 tanks,1 AT gun,1 mortar,1 helicopter and perhaps 1 plane,all infantry are carried in an APC.(included in the infantry squads will be a Machine gun and a bazooka/blowpipe.

Top photo shows the terrain that the RN will cover,bottom shows the two columns approaching the village.

Top photo shows a detail of a RN tank,bottom shows a TA squad occupying the village hotel,c/w shell damage from an earlier bombardment!!!

The rules I will be using are extremely simple,so probably won't be involving the rest of the group(but who knows,they might want to take part???) ie will be solo games.
