On the other hand, my ancient friend De Vries claimed that he recruited his younger brother to join in his wargames as soon as he was old enough not to chew the soldiers. It also has to be said that his brother gave up on the hobby as soon as he was old enough to run away and hide - cautionary tale!<br /><br />Ray - yes, very entertaining - also educational, like playing chess against a novice (and I've been a novice for 50 years!).<br /><br />Ross - I'm all for my wargames looking like someone else's - that's what passes for credibility in this hobby! The small buildings seem natural now, and are very convenient, but it took months of worrying about it before I made the switch - I was concerned it would look silly (i.e. not like Charles Grant). Now, of course, I know that all wargames look silly to some extent, and I don't care!<br /><br />Thank you, gentlemen - TonyMSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-90979493092246014282012-01-09T23:27:58.110+00:002012-01-09T23:27:58.110+00:00And none the worse for looking Morschauseresque.

(vs skirmish-ish).<br /><br />It is so good to have something that works, reliably. But anything wargaming that leads a young lad to want more more would have been good anyway.<br /><br />-RossRoss Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-1910285825264000342012-01-09T18:24:55.954+00:002012-01-09T18:24:55.954+00:00Sounds like you both had a great game!

In any case, I hope my own son might join me, the way yours has joined you, at the wargaming table in another 7-8 years (he's just two at the moment. . . a little young).<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />StokesWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.com
