Wargaming on TV - I never knew...

[Daeothar]

At 3:30 I gave up... see previous comments  ...

Whilst I can't blame you, you missed some comedic gold at 4:04, when some ninny apparently switched channels for a bit before realising it was ruining the recording of an obviously exciting game...

I'd not seen that before. I got quite into it.

I think there is definitely room for something like that online (if not on TV). Time Commanders and Table Top (with Wil Weaton) are both popular in their own way.

I'd love to watch games being played by interesting players, commented on by experts, designers and the like. I think I could be really engaging.

Mock and scoff all you want but when that came out I had never seen a real wargame set up like that before. I had just purchased my first Hinchliffe ECW figures and the first episode did Edgehill I  think and to see them all set up and painted on real terrain was brilliant. It is very dated now but remeber no internet in them days, catalogue for figures were usually just a description of the model so bought unseen. Dated yes but important to old duffers like me.

I'm with you Jambo1 totally a different era.

Well if you're that fucking bored there's always One Man and His Dog. There's gripping drama with the full panoply of human and canine emotion for you.
