I fully appreciate that wargaming has wide ranging appeal, and he is obviously wanting to appeal to wargamers in the lucrative USA markets, but I think the beginnings of wargaming lie in the United Kingdom and should be bottomed first, otherwise it will look like a glossy vacuous affair.I also notice that apart from the obvious 'big names' in the hobby he appears to want to concentrate on the human interest aspects of two small wargaming manufacturers. It is hard not to be very cynical about the whole project.

I thought the bit with Games Workshop taking credit for the expansion of wargaming a bit of a cheek. I thought we were doing well in the early 1980's due to Miniature Wargames etc, not due to elves etc.Independentwargamesgrouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019172667119107650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558595533686058562.post-79355969290049282892016-07-20T07:12:13.125-07:002016-07-20T07:12:13.125-07:00Paul,

However, having watched the trailer I am interested to see how this pans out and have to say that it actually appears to have interesting points to raise. As a documentary it might well have some appeal to a wider audience.marinergrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393687295535460527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558595533686058562.post-64153112909998565752016-07-19T17:52:34.012-07:002016-07-19T17:52:34.012-07:00I pondered this same question publicly a few days ...I pondered this same question publicly a few days ago on my own blog, and while most commenters were of a similar mind, my knuckles were rapped rather severely by a couple of other fellows.
