When our kids want to learn to play the games we love we say “Hey – don’t touch that Warhammer, you might break it. Because we get down on the floor and get our hands dirty. So we sat down and thought about applying the rules we’d learned from tabletop strategy games to those old soldiers, and came up with a great, light strategy game good for older kids, and adults who want to play with them. The nostalgia for those little green guys was there, but we could no longer play with them. We’d moved on to other battlefields, and harder games.
And then we grew up some more, and stumbled across those army men again… or our kids did. Then we all grew up, and those army men were put away. You imagined spectacular wars, built intricate battlefields in the back yard, glued firecrackers to the little green helmets *cough*. If you are like us, you played with army men growing up.
