English Civil War


I stayed up last night to watch the awful movie 'To Kill A King' about the relationship between Fairfax and Cromwell in the English Civil War which if viewed as an unintentional comedy it is actually worth watching. But it got me thinking about my old days in the Civil War back in the 80s and I checked out the Fairfax battalia website.
Fairfaxes, despite my bias, are easily the best ECW unit in this country and manage to get some pretty good events so the website has plenty of interesting photos and they don't spend too much time boring people - keeping it very visual which I approve of. They even have a nice feature on K Lowry - an artist that's producing some great prints on the Civil War available from here
