It's funny. I can remember devising
something similar to the wargames
back with my toy soldiers, on the beach.
My dad used to like playing a game where
we'd shoot them with a dart gun, but
I made kinda a system where they would all shoot
one another. It was pretty lame, but 'twasn't
too much later that I discovered some of the
older ones.
Yeah I was into the "toy" soldier thing pretty heavy as a kid. Dad tried to get a book by H. G. Wells, iirc, for me. Been a while, I think he did a rule book of sorts for them. Actually the toy soldier and armor went much further then kid with me, but I dropped it, because my peers would have frowned on it, had they known. That's way when the computer games came a long I could get back into them. One I really enjoyed and is totally free now, was Steel Panthers: World at War. Least I think that's the free one. Fledgling group of people took it over and updated it, was fun because it was a real group effort for debate and testing. I think Matrix is the name they chose, been a while here too, and they do make other things for sale.
