Another no. For me it was "Battles with Model Soldiers", Don Featherstone. All the best, John. |

However movies can peak my interest in a new era. I do recall that Troy rekindled my interest in the Mycenaean period. |

Indirectly. I got into wargaming after getting into miniatures which I got into because of role-playing games. I got into role-playing games in 1987, when I was 11 years old and my dad bought me the red box edition of Basic D&D at a traditional board game store. We'd gone in to buy a chess board, which I was way less excited about than my dad (I hate chess, its the only game I know of where no matter what I do on my turn, I feel like I'm losing), but as soon as I saw that red box cover art I knew I wanted that instead. And I wanted that because I started reading Marvel's Conan comics a few months before. And I started reading Conan comics because in the summer of 1986, one year earlier, I had seen Red Sonja and my life had changed forever. |

Nope. First it was all the toy soldiers I liked to play with, then a wonderfully illustrated book on wargaming that my Aunt ordered by mistake and gave to me just because. Then came Dungeons and Dragons… |
