    I could WIN this war if only I had 12 fifers to insert behind enemy lines.

    I was always more intrigued by the possibility of tiny plastic Hessians, personally.

    I had the army men and they were absolute crap.
    It broke my little heart when the box came and I saw the two inch tall flat figures. I’m sure there’s a word for it but they were kind of like two sided bas reliefs.
    And that battleship in the picture? four inches long.

    Thanks for bringing up such a painful childhood memory.

    I wanted the Roman set and I did not know they were “2D”.
