Crate review system for wargames

 There is a very old review system that says the sooner you see a crate in a game, the worse it is.

Game developers have known the answer to the first question since the early 1980's: ammo and health can be hidden inside crates or sometimes barrels.  As often happens, the answer to the second question was hidden in plain sight within the answer to the first.   All games contain crates, therefore all games can be judged empirically on those crates.    

Once we came up with that insight, the actual formula for the world's first completely unbiased review methodology was a trivial matter of applying our many hours spent watching actors portray scientists on television to our hatred of crates.  Games can be rated and compared based on the shortest amount of time it takes a player to reach the first crate, which represents the point where the developers ran out of ideas.  This number is measured in seconds and is called "Start to Crate" or "StC".  The smaller the StC, the worse the game.

Crates!

These came from https://www.battlefieldaccessories.com.au/ where I bought some backgrounds...which I cannot find now :(

They were stupidly hard to put together. I went through 4(!) tubes of old and blocked up superglue bottles to do them. I tried wood glue but that was a complete failure.My fingers are covered in superglue.

One of them (the top one) is not square and I couldn't get the lid on correctly, but it does add some character.

I would rate these 3/10 of to put together and  8/10 for looks once done.
