This is a lot of toy soldiers!

Incidentally, I was watching an episode of The Sandbaggers (a late 1970s drama from Yorkshire Television about British spies) last night. The British spies are tracking one of their own guys who is visiting a psychiatrist without telling anyone, a psychiatrist who turns out to be a former citizen of an East Bloc country who has a string of other British senior civil servants and military officers visiting his establishment. "Well, it turns out his problem is that he likes playing with toy soldiers," one of the spies says, disgustedly. "What, as in war-gaming?" asks one of the others, "That's what these other chaps do--they all play war-games!" Apparently the clever Hungarian is recruiting 'moles' in the British security hierarchy by running a wargames club! :-)

I totally misread your subject as "Great googly moggy!"

I amuse easily today. :)

Wow, just wow.... I am amazed that those tables supported all that lead and the occasional gamer.

Wish the comments did not drop off at the end - I was enjoying those as much as the pictures.

That game looked very cool. I love the 25mm scale, so much paint, so little time (and skill)
