1976 for me. WRG 2 or 3 I think. My mostly unpainted Carthaginians against my friend who 'hooked me' and his Persians. |

1960 for me. On Tony Bath's kitchen table, with his 30 mm flats, playing a land Battle of Actium, with the linked sea battle on an adjoining table. About 8 -10 of us taking part, including Don Featherstone. Rod |

Very cool, Rod. Around 1969 for me; battle of Thermopylae, using lego bricks to represent Spartans and Persians. This was before I came across rules. |

Without rules using Hong Kong artillery that fired matchsticks, on my living room floor – about 1962. With rules in 1966. |

1979, Marathon Florida. walked into a hobby shop a fellow by the name of Joel owned, and he had a Alexandrian Successor Minifig Army under glass. Wanted to learn! Bought a bunch of Atlantic Plastic Romans to paint and mount and start playing. WRG rules. From the looks of the dates, we are all old now. LOL |

1967. Using Airfix figures and those Minifigs that were based on Airfix conversions and with the Tony Bath ‘Society of Ancients ‘ rules. |
