What a cool thread....I'm 44....I've found those blasts from the past fascinating...lead soldiers and stuff.
I'm a wannabe RTW person - my computer puffs and wheezes too much to handle RTW at present. I've been playing MTW-VI for ages, and about to go retro with STW-WE- when my copy arrives
I got into the gaming thing when I was about 8....Mum and Dad bought me several packs of those Airfix 1/72 scale soldiers. I had Vikings, Romans, British Commandos, WW1 Brit infantry, WW1 German infantry, WW2 Russian infantry, Union and Confederates from the American Civil War....
.....aaarh the memories ....I used to act out huge battles on the floor or on tables...I used to even use the plastic link things they came with, as barricades. I used to get battles plan from magazines like World of Wonder, Look and Learn, and Tell me Why and act them out with my motley crew of plastic men...
I'll have to stop.......I'm getting all weepy.....excuse me....gotta go
