I used to almost live there in the late 70`s. It was on my way home from work. I got loads of wargaming figures, mainly Napoleonic. Sadly I got rid of most of them in a house move several years ago.<br />When D&D came out I got most of my figures from the Games workshop store further down the road. This was in the days when they sold more than just warhammer stuff of courseAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16798850558013592006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370412706281958677.post-27306058358935037522012-05-18T05:14:00.435-07:002012-05-18T05:14:00.435-07:00I first met such things around '75 when a Prep...I first met such things around '75 when a Prep introduced us to D&D but I soon decided they were the work of the Devil and have done my best to avoid them ever since. I was surprised I was actually able to muster a couple to try out your rules.

Often wonder what happened to Ian's Colosseum - last I saw it it was in the attic of his parent's home in Halifax. All the spectators were converted from Airfix civilians. Still got a couple of the posters lying around advertising it's first appearance (Bradford University, North East Regionals, 1974 - great fun, helping to organise a wargames convention at the same time as studying for your Finals!).<br /><br />Lots of visits to Blenheim Street (not Road, as I recall?), but weirdly never visited the Wargamers Den, despite knowing Derek Sharman quite well....Rob Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02533996736711014752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370412706281958677.post-89716026112868573482012-05-17T05:57:40.030-07:002012-05-17T05:57:40.030-07:00I don't think I actually went to Durham until ...I don't think I actually went to Durham until about 1990 - pity as I would have liked to have seen the Den.

At some point I intend to resurrect the rules, but use them with the Garrison figures (now back in production courtesy of Rob Young) - as used, and converted, in the article by Hugh Walters of the Paragaon group, in Military Modelling back in 1973 or so.Nick Elsdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876019238948329183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370412706281958677.post-1281787407094931572012-05-17T01:31:58.163-07:002012-05-17T01:31:58.163-07:00I think my first non-home brew rules (or the lack ...I think my first non-home brew rules (or the lack of them if I'm being entirely honest!) were<br />the thin little Airfix books soon to be followed by WRG 5th edition.
