I've got a wargaming article coming out in a newspaper, and they want a video showing how these board games are played. But they're in New York and I'm in Oregon. Is there a good video online that shows how to play a paper wargame?
Michael
Or this:
There's a wholes series for this game.
There's lots of vids for lots of wargames on BGG. What exactly are you looking for? What do you want to show off?
Preferably, video of Arab-Israeli wargames, which is going to be tough. Just need a video to illustrate what it's like to play wargames.
Yep that's gonna be tough... quick tour of the A-I Wars boardgames at BGG shows no vids....
There are videos for Persian Incursion, but that's not a game for the general public.
Maybe videos that are well-lit and have nice voiceovers will do.

Try going through here:

It's a mix of war and non-wargames but they are all from play sessions.
There are a lot of videos here, you should find something that's useful.
there's a decent M'44 video here
I don't have a copy of AIW, or I'd just film one at home quickly. How fast do you need it, and are you willing to accept a different game as a demonstration?

I have Arab Israeli Wars, but I think I was 12 the last time I looked at it. I *think* it's unpacked in the basement (i.e. not in a box somewhere). What is it you're looking for?
Someone just to explain how a wargame works. Let me talk to the editor there.

you roll the dice, get you butt kicked and complain about the rule set and how unfair life is.
thats how wargames work.
^^ you forgot the part where the cat jumps on the table and destroys your Kursk counteroffensive when you step away to refuel on the beer & pretzels
some memories are just to painful....

I have found Arab Israeli Wars from Avalon Hill. Judging by the weight most of it is there - I'd forgotten how heavy it is. Opening now. It may not have been opened since the late '70s.
Hey, I just think I found my missing boards from PanzerBlitz!
I'm very, very afraid to ask what else might be in there... :o

I still have it's sister game PanzerLeader.... very well used... wish I could say I won more than I lost.... but I'd be a bald-faced liar... or a Grogz AAR contributer

thats the weight of 5700 years of Jewish guilt.

And no-scoring kiddie soccer leagues.
Or parents whose little darlings lose football games by 35 or more points - fine the other coaches $200! That'll show those bastards for daring to actually play!

Sorry, I just heard about this and it really pisses me off. Stupid people.
