Picture Challenge

 My younger wargame mate just turned 70. He got a birthday card with a wargame picture on it.

He's hoping that I can identify the game and the 'hands' with the help of the interweb fraternity.

Any ideas?

The figures seem to be mostly spear and shield types so presumably an ancient wargame. The bases have typed labels with a variable colour strip.

Tape measures are evident but no dice.

The table is covered in a teddy bear fur mat coloured green. Isn't that a relatively recent innovation?

The buildings look much more medieval as well as fields with hedged borders.

Does anyone recognise this at all?

It's used on the wikipedia page for miniature wargaming: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_wargaming

Which is where I assume the card maker found it.

Wow, that was quick!  Interestingly there's a comment on that blogpost asking if some of the images could be used on Wikipedia, so it could be that Jim's card image is somewhere on Wiki?

EDIT: Beat me to it!
