Each game could take up to 3 days to play and production work, to make one half hour episode.
Guidiance for the series came from David Chandler - deputy Head of War Studies at Sandhurst; Dr. Paddy Griffith - Senior Lecturer at Sandhurst and Charlie Wesencraft - from The Tyne and Wear Museum Service.
The series interviewed over 100 wargamers. They had to demonstrate that they were able to endure the pressures of wargaming, but also the production stresses.
