Re: [GZG] [OFFICIAL] GZG: FREEBIE OFFER FOR BFPO/APO TROOPS!

Way back when - like twenty years ago now, I used to have a small
15mm Prussian Army and a 1/300 scale Tank brigade that I carried to
various locations around Germany. 

Napoleonics and 1/300 modern were the only games that used miniatures
in our area - everything else was boardgames (like Red Star White
Star) or RPGs, mainly DnD.
