The ASMR in these videos are seriously top shelf

It was a pleasure to see the great Peter Gilder again, so many years after my hollidays in wargame holliday center near York. Thank youto have put this here ! John from Paris

Amazing stuff- only ever seen B&W clips of the series before. Points on for finding this.

Absolutely loving this! I hope there's some more to come. Thanks Doug!

Simply grand!!!!!

It's filmed a bit like a snooker match. Just wish the players were better at giving us a running commentary on what they were doing.

thanks Doug

More!! pinching myself now is this a dream, am I going to wake up at any minute. Superb again Doug. I was looking at your unfashionably shiny blog page wondering how much have you got. Any how its superb thank you again and it is spurring me on even more to do it like PG. Shininess all the way

Waterloo oh yes, Gettysburg or Battle of the Nile they were all the buisness

Edward Woodward would have made a great Commissar for the Adeptus Militarum in WH40K

Another great instalment, I hope you have the rest of the battle and please any other episodes that you have. Great viewing...Ian

Doug C I know it is not everyone's cup of tea, but I find it fascinating viewing, real old school and so pleased you have found, saved or stolen it. I know VK is also enthralled with it all. So pleased that there is lots more to come. I shall look forward to all the future uploads Doug...Ian

TheDiomedef16 Fashions have certainly changed within the hobby over the last 35 years (although i'd argue that the best sculptors and painters then were every bit as good as the best now), and the name Peter Gilder probably means nothing to the current generation of younger wargamers, so yeah, i guess this is a 'niche interest'. Warlord's rule sets seem to have been a shot in the arm for big battle 'grand manner' wargaming lately - which maybe just shows that all things are cyclical....not sure i'm looking forward to the return of nylon slacks though....

Thanks Doug. I have never heard of this series but I’m loving it. When was it first broadcast?

It aired in 1978.

What rules are being used? The range marker is brilliant :)

This is so cool. What a marvelous presentation. I'm really inspired to try something like this myself as a way to present historical gaming to new audiences. The "Gilder Device" really does make for some drama. What scale and make are the figures? Were you using a sand table?

Swamp CastleMedia They are 25mm Hinchliffe miniatures sculpted by Peter Gilder. The games table is using modular terrain boards made by Peter Gilder. He ran a wargames holiday centre for quite a few years using these miniatures and terrain, but on a larger scale, more miniatures bigger tables.

Anyone have any idea what scale this was at?

Doug C The first metal miniatures I bought in the late 70's were Hinchliffe. Started off with Airfix.
