I don't mind if they don't get into painting, but it's good for them to at least try and see what they think. They love playing Blokus, DungeonQuest and Ticket to Ride, so we'll have a few good game days as they get older I hope!<br /><br />That's a great idea to plonk some figures down and then put them straight into a game. A-Team skirmish or something perhaps ;-) ?<br /><br />Cheers Jonathan!Prufrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659918463589870423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-45595643167562746582016-02-25T22:30:52.035+09:002016-02-25T22:30:52.035+09:00Thanks John.

Even if they don't take to gaming, you all participated in a wholesome family activity.<br /><br />I have often considered buying a bag of similar Army Men at the local $1 store and using them for a group activity. That is, get the guys together for a painting night and drop a bag of these in front of them. We would then paint a handful of figures that evening and then use them in a skirmish game later. I wonder how they would respond to painting and gaming with these cheap, plastic Army Men?Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-62095669397826727052016-02-25T08:15:12.781+09:002016-02-25T08:15:12.781+09:00Looking good!

I guess it's too late now for these guys, but maybe for the future...<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />Chris JohnsonChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091296131481416326noreply@blogger.com
