Mayhem at Maldon--The Movie

This is the movie verison of an article I wrote for "Historical Miniature Gamer" Magazine (Issue #11) last year. The show illustrates the highlights of a medieval mini-campaign I ran, based on the Battle of Maldon which was fought in Essex, on 10 August, 991 AD.
While this is actually the first movie I made, I've withheld posting it until I could find the right soundtrack and graphics. My camera and computer were new at the time so I was unfamiliar with all the settings and capabilities.
Despite the technical difficulties, this was one of the most fascinating games my group played and I wanted to share it. Enjoy!

"I doubt if anyone found it funny in the least." Yes, disturbing... like reading '1984'

Are they the same car (basically)? VW owns Audi.

Jon Compton commented on Eric Walters's blog post 'The Quest for the Wargaming Holy Grail'

I've found the internal debate (i.e. the debate in my head) has been to either play a lot of games poorly or a few games well. I prefer the latter model, but then you must, as you say, find that set of holy grail games that one chooses to become goo…

Chris: Really - that's a good point. I wonder if the Audi folks realized the message they were sending out with this one. I doubt if anyone found it funny in the least. Smitty

I've recently printed and built "To the Last Man." I was able to play the game and get an idea of its look and feel beforehand thanks to BGG and Cyberboard. It's an excellent game, one well worth the bother. I _hope_ it is just by unfortunate accid…
