POLL DESCRIPTION

miniMo writes:

Which movies have led you to play games or scenarios, or build scenery or figures directly based on them, after you saw the movie? Works in progress count.

This is not for movies that happen to fit games that you play, that would be a very long list, but ones that have been direct inspiration to start the game. I game lots of Ancients, Napoleonics, and WWII, but haven't yet done up scenarios for those specifically inspired by any movies or TV shows (doing screen-accurate Rat Patrol German armor and scenarios has long been very tempting…).

Poll set up by Editor in Chief Bill , based on this previous poll.
