I'm afraid not.

You can't just list off every war game in existence, guys. The clue should lead you to the correct answer.

My thinking was:

You talk the war but... can’t war the talk

War the talk=Warhawk.

Very tenuous.

Oh, I see. That wasn't half bad, actually.
Keep at it and you'll solve it.

5. Inquisitive Alcoholic leapt and dove.

6. Precious metal delivers Hamlet soliloquy.

I knew the wording of "leapt and dove" had to be significant but never thought about it clearly until about an hour ago. Great clue, that one. And absolutely the kind of game where you go "oh yeah! Remember Stranglehold!?"

I'll give Alex a chance now that the thread has been bumped and come back in a wee bit.

Correct!

I love how this thread was dormant for three days and then you two polymaths just pop up within ten minutes of each other.

You told us to do the hard ones first!

I’ve resisted the temptation to look at the solution to the hardest one.

You can do it, I promise. I believe in you.
