I like the scenery--that looks very nicely done.

Superb looking terrain and figures. Love it.

The blogger should have taken his own advice, and not gamed this scenario. It IS too close to home, especially in the USA
circa 2018.
He wanted to avoid first world versus "black and brown people", then completely ignores the likely result of that happening in a US civil war. Ethnic/religious/racial/political cleansing. Killing of prisoners. Starvation. Disease. Massive, world wide economic breakdown. Intervention from foreign powers.
THIS is NOT a GAME.

Pan Marek: "Ethnic/religious/racial/political cleansing. Killing of prisoners. Starvation."

That part could definitely be left out, and you still end up with a potentially good gaming premise.

As for the date, I would set it for a few years later.

But if it's not your cup of tea, don't game it. Game the first ACW, if you like, or something else that you would find more interesting and less objectionable.

Lol, the way he set the stage for the 2nd ACW, the Revolutionaries/Rebels would lose in record time against the militias and nationalists. Not many would want, or even know how, to use a weapon, judging by the majority of anti-POTUSes around my neck of the woods, anyway.

foxweasel28 Apr 2018 12:33 p.m. PST

Pan Marek, you could say the same about WW1, WW2, Vietnam, GW2, Afghanistan etc etc. They all involved real people and the things you describe, it's all just a game. Anyway, I like the figures and terrain. Nice idea.

Great terrain and figures!

I can't be the only one to notice that the sign now reads 'RUMP' in large print, either…

Maybe that gas station is in Fresno. :)

The guy who's doing this project is obviously a typically misguided Leftist who doesn't understand that Hispanic people, or"brown people" as he calls them, are *very* integrated with "white people" in the USA. My mother is Hispanic and my father is a Slovak. Across the street an Italian man is married to a Hispanic woman. Two doors houses down, a Hispanic man is married to a White woman. This is not unusual. I believe that most of us are against illegal immigration as much as any law abiding citizen is. Race and national origin is not an issue for us. Breaking the law is. So Hispanics rising up to fight against people of European origin is just a Leftist fantasy.

"I can't be the only one to notice that the sign now reads 'RUMP' in large print, either…"

or that the sign now reads "make America eat again".

This presentation has *highly* political overtones! Reading through it, you can see that he is so far left he's about to fall off the planet! And saying "As a certain silly Orange Man described them" doesn't make me want to game with him. Deleted by Moderator Dunno if the guy is British, but if he is, he has a lot to say for guy who's country is in much worse shape than ours.

The joys of the freedom of speech. The freedom to make an ass of yourself in public!

He's Canadian.

I see the "No Politics" rule extends 20 years in the past, but cuts off the day after tomorrow. grin

As for the scenario basis, ours are a lot worse in the basement OFM. If someone's gaming scenario makes you Deleted by Moderator, you need to get your meds adjusted.

Oh good, then he won't be sensitive if someone games the Canadian Civil War (Quebec or First Nations versus the rest of Canada…). evil grin

Reading comprehension continues to spiral downwards or maybe, new prescriptions for glasses are needed.

or that the sign now reads "make America eat again".

Huh, I see-

"Make erica eat again"

Well, maybe Erica is on a diet or she just isn't hungry! So leave her alone!!!
