A brief but interesting British Pathé video of the British Army's state-of-the-art simulation hardware (and liveware) between the wars.

The same site hosts a lot more interwar video.

Already figured out the kid thing Robby! Got two of them left at home, and three out of the nest!

Tomorrow I start some slave labor with my 18 year old when I hand over to him a regiment of dragoons to paint. It will be his first try, but as I am paying for speed and quality I hope things will end well!
