Non-miniature wargaming is an interesting hobby. It can be exciting, but it can also be daunting to try to attempt a new player to join in the joy of Kriegsspiel. Perusing the internet this evening, I found this old short video by SPI promoting the hobby. Check out the game around 1:10. How can you look at that set up and not think to yourself the following? "Man! Damn casuals don't know what they are missing!"
All I know is that I cannot wait until History and Mystery are old enough to give these great old games a try. Maybe I'll start with Strike Force One. It's recommended at the end of the video, is still available from Victory Point Games, and I own a copy.

That'd be the "monster game" War in Europe. I loved that game when I was a kid. My friend tore up his model train setup so we could use the table for the map in his basement. We probably three entire campaign games, plus a bunch of the smaller scenarios, over the course of junior high and high school.
