Bell of Lost Souls ran a cool feature today about a U.K. wargame TV show from the late 70s called Battleground. Edward Woodward introduces the battle for the show and then two wargamers with awful hair play it out with lots of shots of lovely historical miniatures and a beautiful terrain table. Not sure what system they are using. But the rules are never really described.
It's very quiet, awkward and really pretty boring. But it is also kind of wonderful. Footage of actual gaming in his era is almost non-existent.

I'm a Kiwi (not a Brit) and we probably had more US shows back then (in my TEENS ) so have no input at all for this thread apart from adding a post to waste people's time on.
