Great video Bob - it is a pity that the technology we take for granted today that lets us video games on a mobile phone wasn't available back then - it would have been wonderful to actually see the campaign in progress!
It would have been great to have had some photos of the battles we fought. Unfortunately I have had to reply on my memory and the few printed bits and pieces that I was able to obtain.
That's very informative and interesting. Particularly, moving to what I think of as the "lead belt" - Lincoln / Nottingham, where there was immense gaming creativity in the 70s and 80s. Lovely piece of work. We all aspire to own more stuff than we can realistically store. Like women and shoes.
@@johnscarr70 Cheers! Over recent years I’ve passed stuff that I’m never going to use again on to other wargamers … and it’s all enjoyed a new wargaming ‘life’ as a result. By the way, with my wife it’s handbags!
@@vpraze Many thanks for your kind comment. I am currently working on two videos about the history of the Royal Artillery’s museums that were located in Woolwich.
Very enjoyable Bob - Eric was an original for sure and Madasahatta was a masterpiece that many gamers can be thankful for. I know I am!
Those of us who knew Eric were blessed. He was a very special sort of person.

Thank you, very interesting.
@@DBNwargaming I’m very pleased to read that you enjoyed this video.
This is greatness
Eric was ... and quite a few of us owe him a tremendous debt.
Fascinating stuff.
Cheers! I am very pleased to read that you enjoyed watching it.
@@Wargaming_Miscellany I love that whole era of wargaming, which I just missed.
@@martinradcliffe4798, The big thing that really strikes me looking back is how close a community wargaming was.

@@vpraze I hope that my efforts won't disappoint you!
Great film Bob.
@@timgow1699 it was a pleasure and an honour to make this tribute to Eric.
