This past Christmas I painted up a regiment of infantry of 36 figures for each of my six grandsons. This year I thought I would give each of them a battery of artillery. I used my Old Glory Army discount to get all I needed at a reasonable price. The recent rainy weather provided the needed down time to complete the project.

Those are some lucky boys to have such a great grandfather! Very nicely done. Jim, who is also a grandfather to a very talented elementary age granddaughter. |

How old are your grandsons? I'm thinking about starting a pair of small armies of Eureka Toytown soldiers for my two year old grandson. |

Nicely done. They are very lucky to have you do this for them. |

It is a wonderful gift. I'm sure they will be treasured and passed on for generations to come. |

I have 4 grandsons aged 13 down to 6. I planned a series of 54mm purchases for them years ago. Every one of them got an army for their 5th and 6th BD. Two got WWII for 5 and ACW for 6 The other two got F&I war for 5 and Vietnam for 6. Painted them myself and just so we are clear I did this over a 5 year stretch. It was great fun. They had fun playing with them. My 13 year old is going to his 2nd wargame convention w/ me at Cincycon. So good on you Winser54. H |

My oldest grandson is 20 now and his brother is 14, they've been going to Little Wars with me since they were 6 years old and playing games at the Convention. I got them started on Medieval using Playmobil Knights and a Castle. Also have rules for tournaments. Then when they got a little older, we started playing Wings of Glory at home. |

Clever way to recruit! It's great when you can leave your collection to your family when it's your time to go to Fiddler's Green! |
