My actual introduction to wargaming

I just stumbled across these scans of a Canadian Boy Scout Magazine from the late 60's or very early 70's.  There is a paragraph or 2 missing and unfortunately, the original is also missing, but this was my first real glimpse beyond playing with toy soldiers and collecting model soldiers into wargaming (not to mention home casting.)

  1. Heart warming stuff - I find the reflexive "They're not toys" amusing. They are toys of course and bedamned to anyone who naysays playing with them.

  2. Wargaming is a "serious business"? Now you tell me.

  3. Gentlemen, if you have ever seen those charging Britain's highlanders in person, you KNOW they mean Business!
