Reply To: Was there a gap between historical games and fantasy/scifi for you?

Started gaming in 1970 as a 7 year old with AH/SPI boardgames (many of which were miniatures rules without the figs and there were also some MB games that used plastic figs— my first gaming was Bismarck with my dad) the medieval games were quickly made into fantasy variants for LotR inspired battles.  Discovered D&D in 1976  which introduced me to  actual figs for gaming and soon discovered Napoleonic miniatures played at a sci-fi con.  I would say it was roughly parallel always except maybe the first three years.
