An Alternative Survivor's Guide to the United Kingdom

[wolffhound79]

Thats a good read and lots of pictures on the internet.

unfortunately Marc isnt really open to new versions or corrected versions of things that were originally released for the game - i.e. I offered to redo City of Angels and make it actually make sense (i.e. for instance have the Mexican units actually equipped with the right equipment and not Soviet) and he wasnt interested

However I would love to see a much improved Survivors Guide to the UK issued for the 4th edition (which doesnt fall under the same no redo rule)

If you mean the reference to the USS America on page 89, it's not a reference to any warship. It refers to a Bedford five ton gun truck operating in a shore unit formed from Royal Navy sailors who don't have any ships to man. In true Royal Naval tradition, each of the gun trucks was given a name starting with HMS (His Majesty's Ship). As that particular truck is commanded by a US Navy exchange officer it was given a USS prefix rather than an HMS one. It's definitely not in the wrong place.

The only US warship mentioned is the USS Normandy (and it's not seaworthy).



Cheers Leg, I appreciate the offer, but I'm happy to finally -just call it finished so I figure it's fine as it is (my intent was never to get it published or claim any sort of canonical status for it, it was just something that was done because I enjoyed doing it but it's done now - if I start revisiting it for whatever reason I'll end up wanting to redo whole parts).

Rainbow - would you be ok with having something from your alternate Guide as part of the Fanzine Considering how many people download them it would be a great way to have your excellent work even more widely available. You could pick what section of it you would like to have there if you are interested.

Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed it. @Southernap, thats an interesting article that you linked to, especially the part about the Caledonian MacBrayne ferries.

No, I would not be OK with that.

No, I would not be OK with that.

Ok good to know - always make that offer to authors here - thats how James and Matt's stuff was put in the 2nd and 3rd issues as well as Raellus's article in the 3rd issue

Not a problem. I got it because we were discussing continuity of government and my friend stumbled upon this while doing some searches on what NATO nations would have done to do continuity of government. I am figured someone here might find some good use for it.

Let's not forget the most important strategic asset for rebuilding civilization in the UK.

ACRES of cocoa plants

Armored Range Rovers

This might be a fun vehicle to include in any UK-based campaign:
