I have to figure I started wargaming at age 8. Me and my buddy made up a game using squads of lego men. Each man could move 12 inches per turn. Rubber bands simulated rifle fire. If a guy got hit he died instantly. We used ping pong balls to simulate artillery fire. A bedroom floor was our battlefield, and there were plenty of obstacles. We had a pretty thorough rule system. That was serious wargaming! It sure beat the heck out of that Atari battlefield game, risk and stratego which I also played as a young kid.
