Thanks all for the nice words. I'm really enjoying exploring gaming with my eldest so it's good to know that enjoyment shows.

I'll be more than happy to share how the dice work but that's a whole new post I'll have to sit down and write when I have time.

Great battle report and the system looks very solid.  Great work.

Not much to add really. Except that I'm sat here at just gone midnight with an urge to go and wake my 7 year old lad and get a quick game in before his mum hears us and sends us both to bed!

Excellent, excellent stuff. You should be proud of the little 'un!  :D

My three year old twins are the same. My son keeps saying when I'm bigger I'd like to play with figures. He then several times a day he says "dad, I'm bigger now. Can I please play with figures now?" His sister wants to play with starwars.

Bless, I've brainwashed them well. ;D

Very cool! My son is currently painting some Pig Iron System Troopers and he's even bought Ganesha's 'Flying Lead' set to use with 'em. He started 'Comprehensive' education last September, but has yet to come across any other young gamers, which is a trifle worrying... Still, he enjoys gaming with his old man!

Just seeing that look on little dudes face tells me there is a massive market in wargames games for kids.

I think the Rusty Robots will be spot on for that niche.

Great report!  A most impressive beginning for the Young General!

Wonderful to see all these dads wanting to play with their littluns, something that seams a relatively new phenomenon. Pretty sure it has something to do with us generation Xers being more family orientated than the baby boomers  ;).
