I still had these residing on my HD, by chance:

Thing of beauty, that is ! That's also a nice looking Mephisto board there.

Not so! REAL wargames are played on a large table covered with green felt, cardboard buildings, lichen for trees, lots of miniature soldiers/tanks/ships/etc. and stacks of combat charts and rules.

Okay. I revise my former statement. REAL wargames are played on a board with a map covered in hexagons with 1000000000 cardboard counters all over them OR on a large table covered with green felt, cardboard buildings, lichen for trees, lots of miniature soldiers/tanks/ships/etc. and stacks of combat charts and rules.
I havn't wargamed with miniatures in a LONG time. I kind of got out of it because the mini's are expensive, and my wife won't let me have anywhere large enough to store the model scenery and stuff. Naval minis are the best I can do now because naval wargaming usually doesn't involve a lot of table scenery. Toss a couple of islands down and you're good to go usually. I cheap out and use counters for the ships.
