I've also missed out a good few individual armies that I didn't keep for long. I had a Dixon Samuai army in the late 70s but only for a few months. A garrison 7YW british army that I sold when I was skint- it never fought. Approx 5 different Nrman armies over the years Starting with Lamming and Garrison going through Minifigs Hincliffe Asgard Citadel and finaslly Old Glory. I'd agree with your ideas golden age but would probably put the "members" golden age in the same period. But I see your point- though computer have made it easy for memebrs to connect so I'm not sure maybe the Golden Age is now...

That is a very interesting timelin...Afternoon Andy,<br />That is a very interesting timeline you've put together.<br />I would bet that most wargamers of our age, [I know you are younger]will have followed something like that. Mine was a bit more dramatic is some respects, but certainly Airfix was the starting point for wargaming, except before that I had my Timpo figures and the pieces of paper and a deck of cards!.<br /> I only wish Id had the foresight and realistically the money to have kept my original collections.I always wanted Les Higgins figures,but money dictated that I go for Minifigs,and Garrison.<br /> Thinking of a Golden Age, well figure wise, it has to be now. <br />A Golden Age for wargaming ideas, I would say the late 1980's and early 1990's.<br /> But a Golden Age for actual wargamers,ie members, I think that must have been the late 1970's and early 1980's, because there was a real buzz about the hobby and being pre Digital age,it was easier to get young people interested.<br />Anyway,another good post.<br />Thanks RobbieIndependentwargamesgrouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019172667119107650noreply@blogger.com
