Waddington's Little Big Horn

Nostalgia galore as I purchase a childhood favourite game from e-bay. I'm not particularly articulate, but in my own fumbling way, I conclude by arguing that the main reason for the outcome of that battle was the completely unexpected aggression and offensive fighting spirit from the native Americans. Much love to my Mum and Dad, long gone, but never forgotten.

I must admit that this was so emotional to watch. Thank you so much. I had the game in the 1960's and have recently been tempted to buy on ebay. I am 68 now and remember so much joy as I set up the board. The days when you believed your parents would live forever. Well, I lost my dad Christmas 1978, and more recently my mum on my birthday 2020. So this took me right back and in my mind I could see them both standing there.
Thank you so much for this video. Many tears shed, but many precious memories.

Nostalgia, Nostalgia...Looks great, and vintage!

[@buckospiffle594]

Thanks, Phil. I confess my fascination with childhood nostalgia has also resulted in myself obtaining a large collection of miniatures relating to the 1966 "Batman" t.v. series! I'll do a video on such in the future. I continue to really enjoy your videos, Phil. Thank you for the work and effort you put into your channel.

I wonder how the anniversary will be commemorated. Too many controversies mixed in with changing attitudes and sensitivities to make it safe to do much at all, but being of the same generation as yourself I recognise the thrill and the appeal of this period of History.

Thanks, Ralph. I agree 100% with you. My commemoration of such using miniatures in some form is purely for my own purposes, or nostalgic enjoyment.. I'm continuously baffled by the extreme opinions, controversy, and downright nasty vitriol that any discussion of the L.B.H. seems to generate as opposed to say, discussing Isandlwana. Such is not a "modern" phenomenon either. As one author has stated, "Custer continues to be a lightening rod of American opinion."
