At one point, I joined a war gaming club. The club felt very British,
very low-tech. They had a large piece of plywood covered in
model-railroad grass, with some hills and rivers on it, in a back room
of the school. On this they places miniatures of infantry and
cavalry, mostly from 19th century wars. There were rules involving
speeds of movement over various surfaces, etc., and each move of each
piece was charted out using measuring tape. It was painfully slow,
and I don't recall any actuall battles taking place.
They did have a problem with gamers taking too long on their turns,
though, so I went out and bought them an egg timer, which I presented
proudly to the sponsoring teacher.
