Spending some of my youth in England, I do remember miniatures there- every small city had a shop or two that sold them. I never understood how the English managed to play any games with them as the average English house wasn't very big at all.

That's more my speed. I was very good at playing Stratego years ago. It's a very fun little game that rewards a good memory.
I played some Avalon Hill Platoon back in the early 90's. I actually liked how simple the rules were. It was relatively fast for a board wargame. I also occasionally played Richtoffen's War with my uncle, but he did not like to lose and the game had some random elements where it made it easy to slaughter your opponent quickly (critical hit kills your pilot? too bad).
I also played B-17 Queen of the Skies, a solitaire game also from Avalon Hill. More of a bomber damage simulator, a sort of Snakes and Ladders for grognards, but still a way to pass the time during a period where computer games weren't so engrossing.
