Portable Battlefield from the 1930s



Check out the short video clip from what appears to be a longer film in the link below.  I am tempted to purchase the whole movie...

"Model Battlefield 1936"

How awesome would it be to game like that.  Especially the firing of the artillery.  Now I just need to get a group of friends together to move my units around with magnets under the gaming cloth.  I had never seen or heard of anything like this before.  Have any of my readers from the UK ever seen or heard of this in the flesh?

  3. Wow, that's super cool. I don't know how practical that actually was for the army at the time, but it would be a hoot for gaming!
