First wargame.  Uncertain but probably Airfix WW2 guide (with 1/72 figures) or Infantry Action 1925-1975 (with 1/32 figures).

Desert Island - tricky one, probably I Ain't Been Shot Mum but I'll wait until 3rd edition comes out in a month or so to be sure :-)

Never argue with an idiot; He'll drag you down to his level and beat you by experience.

Introduction to Wargaming by Arthur Taylor. I think it was in about 1970, got the rules in a small corner shop in Ipswich (all I could afford at the time, and I only had 5 minutes to spend in my first ever wargames shop... Dad was in a hurry). I`d been playing for a few years before that, using my own childish rules in my head... but I didn`t know there was such a thing as Wargaming until that week. Same week I saw Waterloo being re-fought on a children`s TV show called: Crackerjack). I was in awe.

My first ever Wargame was the year Waterloo came out in the cinemas... I re-fought Waterloo over and over again with my plastic Airfix figures.

No, no, Little Wars used matchstick-firing cannon.  ;)
