I have always liked that saying and not just because I have two Grandsons that went through a very intensive “Toy Story” phase. Although it always suprised and worried me a little bit with their fixation on Bo! Although I cannot be too surprised given a lot of us also probably went through a Bo phase of our own – ahhhhh that perfect 10!

No, what I liked about it was that it signified “endless posibilities”.

When I started wargaming in the late 60s, although prior to then I always played with toy soldiers, there were very limited options both in terms of figures and types of games to play. Donald Feathersotn and Charles Grant Snr from the UK and Jack scruby from the US were the main drivers of the hobby, which really just consisted of Horse and Musket and Ancient periods. Of course those crazies that played with wizards and the like were around but they were treated as sporns of satan.

Now we have a whole smorgasboard of posibilities – indeed to infinity and beyond.

So much for that diatribe, my real reason for this blog is to show you my latest acquistions – yes another project that will take years to complete but they DO look cool.

My “Infinity” game Nomad contingent still in their shiny new boxes, although I have had a peek or two.

I plan on these being my Christmas break project, but hey there are endless possibilities and who knows what may come up between now and then!

To Infinity and beyond
