33  General Category / Fuck it all / Re: what was your favorite war movie? on: July 20, 2014, 08:04:25 am
thanks for all these movies to search for
I am surprised that nobody has yet mentioned my own personal favorite war movie yet

thats the one that started me off on naval wargames
34  General Category / Fuck it all / Re: Is Dr. Strangelove the Twilight Struggle of war movies? on: July 20, 2014, 08:00:41 am
I think we would have noticed if the war in Dr. Strangelove had really occurred
and I dont think a movie has to be about a real, historic war in order to be a 'war movie'
a war movie just has to describe the battles, show something about the tactics used or the strategy, and show how the battle turns out, in order to be a war movie
what about "Star Wars" the original, back in 1976?
would you say that that was a war movie?
cuz I would, sure.

well its not really limited to any kind of models, no.  I guess I was just wondering about how you guys bought your pieces.
you see, I am kinda stuck in the eighties
I have hundreds of GHQ and C-in-C modern armored vehicles from the 80's, when I had excess money to buy toys, and I have not bought ANY wargame supplies since then
but in answer to your question, I was most interested in the armored vehicles
39  Gaming Stuff / Military Games / Re: the advantages of creating wargame boards from layers of cardboard on: July 20, 2014, 06:56:14 am
good question
well, the first one I made was solid cardboard, and it wound up weighing in at around thirty five or farty pounds

so I decided that this new one would be hollow

and it really is hollow

I spent literally HOURS carving out those eight sheets of cardboard, and once the contour lines were cut, I removed all the unneeded cardboard

so it weights only about six or seven pounds I would say

the tiny forest boxes are finally FINISHED (YAY) and I am now gluing them on the board

new pictures coming soon
40  Gaming Stuff / Military Games / Re: Best of AH 'Classics' on: July 20, 2014, 06:52:35 am
assuming AH stands for avalon hill and youre not just letting one off
my all time favorite avalon hill games were Blitzkrieg and the russian campaign

clean and simple, with a good focus on tactics, not too long to finish a game either
at least not compared with the miniature games Ive been into lately
41  Gaming Stuff / Other Games / Re: Euro Games on: July 19, 2014, 09:59:48 am
sorry to display my ignorance once again
but what IS a 'euro-game'?
I know they come from Europe but what do they have in common?
are there certain themes to euro-games?
42  Gaming Stuff / Other Games / Re: Chess on: July 19, 2014, 09:44:09 am
that is really excellent.  I love watching kids learn how to play chess
I was a chess counselor at three different summer camps in my day
and I also enjoy teaching chess around the end of each schoolyear, when there is little to do other than game
Ive also taught them very simple wargames, which usually go over very well with the boys at least

just want to say that poor old Howard Phillip Lovecraft would probably be rolling around in his uncomfortable and damp grave at swan point cemetary if he knew what has happened to all his lovely characters

and thank you for clarifying your position, sparty
44  Gaming Stuff / Military Games / Re: Who bought from the old Wargames West Catalog? on: July 19, 2014, 09:37:23 am
Im sorry im afraid I dont know what youre talking about
I just dont like to see a thread get ignored totally
45  Gaming Stuff / Military Games / Re: C-in-C versus GHQ miniatures on: July 19, 2014, 09:35:55 am
thanks for the answers.  very interesting
I've melted lead before and know the dangers of breathing in those toxic fumes
I can easily imagine the makers of die cast wargame pieces wanting to avoid lead altogether
but there was a time, long ago, when many kids would make their own army dudes from lead
