Welcome to my strange alternative world of wargaming with toy soldiers: a game for boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty and for that more intelligent sort of girl who likes boys' games and books (HG Wells, Little wars)

When I was a kid, I had no idea how a rifle could stop a tank. I thought it was a load of guff promogulated by Commando war stories.
ReplyDeleteIt was only when I did some reading up on it that I realised how they worked.
Still prefer a Panzerfaust mind you!
A 17pdr would be even more desirable. :)

Great work! I just bought my friend some upgrades for his British Army for Xmas including PIATs, Snipers and Flamethowers...gah! I hope I didn't make a bad choice in gifts! Kick my German Army's rear!
