Civil War buffs are a unique group. :) –Curt

It was a great way to socialize, and I’ve known some former students who were so caught up in “play” that they developed a new love and appreciation not only for the real thing but also the miniatures and other collectibles. Thanks for reading!

The kids seemed pretty engaged, but it was the men who were really “into” it! We adults like to have fun, too, right?

We try to get to sites and events, but you can never see or learn it all. Or at least that’s our experience. Bert is the Civil War buff in my family. I just drive him from one monument to another when we’re in a battlefield!!! :)

You are so right, Amy! And these kids were pretty much fascinated even thought the “game” took longer than they may have anticipated. Thanks for commenting!

Oh, wow! Hands-on Miniature battlefields are so much fun. I bet my son will go crazy on this. It’s good to go back to good old toys and be away from smartphone and computer games. A great way for kids to socialize too. Thanks. All the best to you and your family.

My son would have loved that when he was younger.

Ancestors of mine, mainly on the Union side, fought in Tennessee and Kentucky. Someday, I would love to do more research. –Curt

Youngsters learn fast when they get hands-on experience! Great take on, Rusha. :)
