1970 newsreel : link Mostly weirdos playing with boats, model trains and scaletrix, but about 1minute in there's some fine wargaming action from a couple of sensible chaps. |

And you can see the fore sight of the one player who mounted his troops on bases instead of single figure movement. |

That rail roading set up with the older couple looked too much like actual work. |

@skinkmasterretuns – agreed ! |

Great wargame scenes, anybody recognize those players. The figures look like mostly Minifigs Napoleonic's. The model railroad was very big but sterile. I much prefer the outdoor versions with lots of scenic terrain. |

Very nice. My brother and I had trains. The biggest minus is once you have built the terrain, that's it. Until you scrap that, and build something new. |

I agree with that Critter. I got a train set back when I was around 10, and I was so excited about it I thought I would die. My dad got me a big piece of plywood for it, and some buildings to make a village. I set everything up, and then came the big moment- I started the train and watched as it went round, and round, and round. It was so boring!
Finally after a few days of this I started running toy tanks through the village, with infantry and some air support, and it was much more fun. Been a wargamer ever since!
Nice video btw, 20thmaine.
