From the brief period in history when wargaming was thought to be chic and sophisticated - 1970's ? . Wonder if that is the Peter Gilder Waterloo terrain and figures ? . As the adverts says "you
can take a White Horse anywhere" even the wargaming room . Shamelessly stolen from Facebook .
They are Hinton Hunt figures. Back in the 70s I could only dream of having armies like this.
ReplyDeleteYes and a table like that , I had a badly dyed bedsheet over books for hills .
Delete"From the brief period in history when wargaming was thought to be chic and sophisticated" - A Mythical time I think!!
ReplyDeleteCertainly short lived !
DeleteNice advert - bizarre, but pleasing. I always have a horse in the room when I'm wargaming - is this unusual? The lady is saying, "It wasn't the horse at all - you should lay off the radishes."
ReplyDeleteDon't remember it at the time and certainly odd .
DeleteYes this was a bit before my time, I think it was possibly even the late sixties...there is the famous Callan film starring Edward Woodward where he refight say an ACW battle with the main "baddie" an ex WWII German (SS?) officer, and then Woodward also hosted a series of historic refight a by "famous" wargames that were televised by ITV....they can still be seen on You Tube.
ReplyDeleteYes a classic film , early70s a spin off from the popular TV series .
