Wednesday Wargaming Bonus: Harken back to Wargaming's Golden Days

SPI once produced a video clip to explain wargaming to those who don't know. Man, this can make you feel old... just look at the 1970s fashion!



As an FYI, the guy who posted this video is a pretty talented wargame artist:

Hee hee.

At the one minute mark I realized they should be playing Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture instead of whatever the music was.

At the two minute mark the time lapse of the game made me think it looked like some kind of real-time PC game. A fun look back, regardless.

Nice coutners for the Starship Troopers do-over - pity they did not remake the game system as well.
