Released in 1978, Battleground was unique in that it introduced an unsuspecting public to the wonderful world of wargaming. Introduced by the sterling gent Edward Woodward, who is well known for his love of historical wargaming. Each episode featured either a historic or a fictional battle, which opposing wargaming generals would fight using 25mm figures. The viewers were shown edited highlights during the episode. Each minute that was shown represented several hours of studio work. With the entire series of six episodes taking almost half a year to complete.
