Check out Brooklyn Wargaming for some video of a recent local TV news story and visit to Metropolitan Wargamers in Brooklyn, NY.

wow…that's awesome. That Normandy table was spectacular.

A nicely-balanced report.

Yeah – no matter how many times I see news reports like this the inescapable truth is always there. We are history nerds.

A nice friendly unbiased report, I wish there were more out there like that.

The reporter's grandfather fought and lost a leg fighting on the Russian side at Stalingrad, so she came with some historical interest.

Good report. Nice to see the hobby on the telly! Great terrain and miniatures as well!

I loved the reporter when she was trying to roll a 5.Thats the great thing about wargaming-combines toy soldiers with the thrill of shooting craps.

Nice piece and some good reporting. As an aside love all the board games on the shelves as well.

Great to see – and we are the cool kids, right?

The absolute joy of rolling a '5' to bring a German mortar round down onto the turret of a Sherman was followed by the disappointment of it glancing off with no effect -- a true gamer experience.
